Whatever works, my players are pretty inexperienced, and more often than not
they need a knudge in the right direction, expecially when they're designing
a character. Once they have a strong concept and design, the role-playing
seems to come to them easy, its giving them some role-playing leverage that
they sometimes have a hard time with.
