Well I'm thinking basic shit that a lot of games do... Skill uses... exploration... stuff like that... becaus... y'know... not EVERY character in the RP is combat oriented... >.>
That could be a very good idea. However, the problem with that is someone could type up a post going something along the lines of 'He/she explored the entire mountain peak. There was snow. And bunnies. He used a teleport crystal to port back to town, having finished mapping out the place." BAM. Exp.
Since you've clearly stated that your character is not a combat type (and told us how she makes her living/contributes to the world) I think we should think of a way to let her level up. Though, please do keep in mind that she will not level up as quick as the ones who choose to do it through combat.
