So I'm playing a 10th level Goliath Warden, as part of a party trying to prevent the reactivation of an ancient civilization with Demon powers. The problem is this - I decided to play a character with a theme based heavily on the magic weapon he is wielding - a +2 Frost Warhammer, the idea being that he used the weapon in defense of his tribe, it bonded with him, and it's taken such a large part of his world view, that he's actually given himself the name Frosthammer.
The problem is this: We are now entering paragon tier with the first opportunity at a +3 thunder enchantment already available, the others offered it to me since I have a thunder daily that work well with it. The problem is that IC, my existing weapon is kind of a holy relic, so I refused and its kind of kept as a backup weapon. So I'm faced with a dilemma - optimizing my character or sticking to my concept.
I tried asking my GM, if instead of it being replaced by a new weapon, I could find a scroll or holy writ or blessing of the like from Kord, my characters patron God, which would upgrade the weapon to a +3 while keeping the frost property, but he has refused since it is not core.
My second problem is that when ever I try to speak to an NPC in character, the other players try to shut me up. I don't think its because what I'm saying is bad but simply because my character has low bluff/diplomacy/charisma.
The problem is that we don't really do any IC interparty roleplaying, so I don't want to be restricted to just plain fights or rollplaying, but have an opportunity to express my character.
Advice requested, please!
