Well, I don't see it that way at all, but this is a valid viewepoint I
guess. I see it as a case of rewarding the PLAYER for playing his part
correctly. If you view it as a reward to the player, rather than the
character, then reward for staying in character makes sense. True, as you
say, role-playing is the point of the game, ergo it should be encouraged and
rewarded.
