Act heroically and you gain a reputation as a hero which allows one to accrue certain benefits (or trade on your heroism for certain other benefits), act like a saint and that gives certain benefits, act brilliantly, ingeniously, or innovatively, and that gives certain befits. Benefits that are useful for both mechanical and role-playing purposes.But such behavioral traits would not be limited or even tied to roles. A Wizard could behave in a saintly fashion, a Cleric could be heroic, a Barbarian could be ingenious. Such traits would be demonstrated by behavior in-game not predetermined by profession, class, background, level, type, roles, or anything like that.Anyways, that's how I've got the ideas sketched out thus far.I'm open to suggestions though.</blockquote>
