How do you encourage players to RP during combat?
Does anyone have advice that's worked for similar types of players?
It is great you are leading by example; keep up the good work! Also, try chatting with him. Tell him what a good rp'er he is and then mention that you would really like to see what would happen if he rp'd a bit during combat and give him an example. Get his input on it.
You could also bring it up at the table to everyone...so you are not singling out anyone. Example, "guys, I want to try something different this game. During combat, lets try rp'ing a bit more. Maybe try commenting to the NPCs or Monsters or to each other as a Free Action. What do you think, you want to give it a try this game?"[Again, give a clear example or two.] Then at the end of the game, ask for feedback from them.
They may not want to RP during combat, don't know what they can say, or don't want to be the first one to break the norm. No way of knowing unless you ask.
Sounds like you are doing a great job. I wish you the best.
