RP Assist

RP Assist - Roleplay Reply Assistant for WoW Classic Anniversary

RP Assist is a roleplay companion addon that helps you craft in-character responses during live RP interactions. It monitors chat, analyzes incoming messages by keyword, and generates context-aware reply suggestions drawn from your character's identity — race, class, personality, professions, and appearance — so you always have something in-character to say, even when your brain goes blank mid-scene.

Features

Character Identity System
Define your character's RP identity through a full configuration panel: RP name, personality archetype (18 options like Wise, Sarcastic, Fierce, Scholarly), two professions, backstory, current status, motto, pronouns, birthplace, and home location. Your identity drives every suggestion the addon generates.

Personality Trait Sliders
Fine-tune your character's voice with 5 personality axes — Shy/Bold, Cold/Warm, Serious/Playful, Casual/Formal, Secular/Devout. These sliders influence which flavor fragments and emote styles appear in your replies, giving each character a distinct conversational tone.

At a Glance Descriptors
Set up to 3 short visual descriptors (e.g. "Scar across left eye", "Smells of pipe tobacco", "Wears a faded military insignia"). These get woven into your emote openers at random, adding subtle physical details to your RP without you having to remember to type them.

Chat Monitor Window
A dedicated window captures incoming messages from Say, Whisper, Party, Guild, and custom channels. Each message displays the sender's race, class, level, guild, and RP status (IC/OOC) when available. Click any message to instantly generate reply suggestions based on what was said.

Smart Reply Suggestions
The response engine matches incoming messages against keyword-based topic categories (greetings, combat, magic, trade, religion, travel, and more) and produces multiple reply variations. Each suggestion is enriched through layered composition: personality interjections, race-specific cultural references, class flavor, profession knowledge, gender-aware self-references, and trait-influenced fragments. The result is hundreds of unique combinations from the underlying data pools — no two suggestions are quite the same.

Race & Class Awareness
Replies reference your character's cultural background automatically. A Draenei mentions the Naaru and Argus; a Dwarf swears by Ironforge and Khaz Modan; a Tauren speaks of the Earthmother. Class flavor adds weapon references, skill mentions, and lore-appropriate boasts. Body part descriptions are race-aware too — Draenei get "hooves" instead of "feet", Tauren get "horns" instead of "ears".

Situation-Based RP (Target Mode)
Don't need to reply to a message? Target any player and open the Target Panel to generate unprompted RP — greetings, level-up congratulations, gear compliments, casual conversation starters, and more. The addon inspects your target's talents and equipped gear to craft context-specific observations like commenting on their epic weapon or spec choice.

Auto-Inspect Integration
When you click a message from someone you have targeted, RP Assist automatically inspects them to detect their talent spec and gear quality. This data feeds into reply templates — you can compliment a Frost Mage on their spec or remark on someone's Epic gear, all in-character.

Guild "Ding" Detection
When a guildmate says "ding!" or "leveled up!" in guild chat, RP Assist recognizes it as a level-up announcement and offers in-character congratulation replies instead of generic responses.

MSP Profile Reading
RP Assist passively reads Mary Sue Protocol (MSP) data from other RP addons like MyRolePlay (MRP), Total RP 3 (TRP3), and XRP. If another player has an RP name, current status, or description set, RP Assist picks it up and uses their RP name in suggestions and displays their RP status (In Character / OOC / Looking for Contact) in the chat monitor.

Enhanced Tooltips
Hover over any player to see RP information added to their tooltip — their MSP profile data, cached race/class/guild info, your own private notes about them, and (for yourself) your current RP identity summary. Great for remembering who someone is mid-scene.

Private Player Notes
Write and save private notes about any player (e.g. "Met at Goldshire, plays a blacksmith, knows my character's sister"). Notes persist across sessions and appear in tooltips whenever you encounter that player again.

Player Cache
RP Assist automatically remembers every player you interact with — their race, class, level, guild, guild rank, and any MSP profile data. This cache persists across sessions, so the addon can provide richer context about returning characters.

RP Emote Wrapping
Replies are optionally wrapped in emote-style actions — an opener like adjusts their staff thoughtfully before the spoken text and a closer after. Emote style is influenced by your personality archetype and trait sliders, and occasionally incorporates your At a Glance descriptors.

Auto Mood Switching
Enable Auto Mood to have your character's personality shift with game context: entering combat switches to Fierce, resting in a city to Friendly, stealthing to Mysterious, low health to Cautious, death to Stoic. Your original mood restores automatically when the condition ends.

Right-Click Menu Integration
"RP Assist" appears in right-click context menus on player frames, party members, raid members, friends, and guild roster entries. One click opens the RP panel pre-filled with that player's info — no need to manually target them first.

Minimap Button with Quick Mood Selector
A minimap icon provides one-click access to the chat monitor, with a dropdown for quickly switching your active personality mood on the fly.

Customizable Settings
Configure which chat channels to monitor, toggle emote wrapping, set font size, enable/disable MSP reading, tooltip enhancements, auto mood, and RP name display in the chat monitor.

How It Changes Your Experience
RP Assist solves the most common problem in live roleplay: the blank-brain moment when someone says something in-character and you can't think of a good reply fast enough. Instead of breaking immersion with a long pause or falling back on generic responses, you click the message and instantly see several in-character options that already sound like your character — flavored with their race, class, personality, and background.

It's especially useful for:

New roleplayers who want a safety net while learning to improvise
Players with many alts who need help keeping each character's voice distinct
Busy scenes where multiple people are talking and you need quick responses
Cross-faction or unfamiliar RP where you're not sure what cultural references your character would make
Guild events where you want to congratulate someone's "ding" in-character without breaking the flow

The addon never sends messages automatically — you always preview and choose what to send. Think of it as an RP writing assistant that knows your character's voice.
