Plenty of clever ideas can come about outside of combat, including in roleplaying.Player has an idea that saves the party 100-500 - How is this not combat related? Not all threats are combat.Player role-plays his character well* 100-200 Player encourages others to participate 100-200 You missed this one.. . .*This award can be greater if the player character sacrifices some game advantage to role-play his character. A noble fighter who refuses a substantial reward because it would not be in character qualifies.Table 34:Individual Class AwardsAward. . .PriestPer successful use of a granted power 100 XP - how many granted powers aren't combat related? Druid wildshape can be used outside of combat. Specialty priests had a wide range of granted powers.Spells cast to further ethos 100 XP/spell level* - How many spells aren't combat related? Plenty. What is the combat use of speak with animals? Create water? Create food? Purify food and water? Speak with dead? Zone of truth? Detect magic? I'd have to look over the lists to remember what else was in 2e priest spells. Making potion or scroll XP value - I gave you this one.Making permanent magical item XP value - I gave you this one.WizardSpells cast to overcome . . . problems 50 XP/spell level - And this is not combat related? Problems that are not foes? No they are not combat related.Spells successfully researched 500 XP/spell level - Gave you this oneMaking potion or scroll XP value - gave you this oneMaking permanent magical item XP value - gave you this one.RoguePer successful use of a special ability 200 XP - almost entirely combat related climbing walls, understand writings, pick pockets, find/remove traps, pick locks, hide in shadows, move silently, I believe bards also get extra languages, an influence others type ability outside of combat, music playing, and a lore type ability.Per gold piece value of treasure obtained 2 XP - and where does treasure come from if not combat? Stealing it, making deals in game, trap filled vaults, being hired to do something, picking pockets, etc. . . .</blockquote>
