    One example that comes to mind is healing classes. I started a cleric last week, and from a role-playing perspective, I wanted him to be a pacifist. No can-do, there. You've gotta kill countless small animals to get your first heal spell.

    Wouldn't it make sense for classes like clerics to get some kind of experience for what they really do, like healing people?
