[QUOTE="fuzzlewump, post: 5368351, member: 63214"] I have no idea how to pitch this idea; just describe it and they either like it or don't, just like any game or pitch. I'm probably not really answering you, but I'm not at 100% understanding. You roleplay any of those things by describing it. Roleplay isn't limited to what your character says, you say what he does too. Just say "My character _________" where you replace the blank with the things you mentioned. If you meant, how do you roleplay a character who wants to, in the future, [I]be able[/I] to manifest auras or what have you? I don't know, roleplay as best you can your character's interest then speak with the DM before or after the game your intentions. If it matters, then the player will say it matters, and will be more specific with his in-game goals. In other words, if it matters, it will matter. :) The player either roleplayed a desire for turning or he didn't. He told the DM that's what he wanted or he didn't. Much like choosing to play a cleric or not choosing to play a cleric. Details do, indeed, matter. Again, so long as the DM fulfills the stated thematic criteria, the player should not and would not care what exactly the end result is. A player who cares that the DM made him a paladin instead of a Fighter/Cleric multi-class is not the type of player who would enjoy this game, I imagine. Especially if he was not specific about wanting to lay on hands and all that junk. [/QUOTE]
