Tips: turn off XP for killing things unless it a)protects someone b)is the quest

Making people happy gives XP.

Villagers give you rewards, healing potions, food and magic items.

Tips: deities reward those who help their followers with boons to the players. Strength bonuses and hit dice magically appear whilst in their favor

Tips: giving away treasure gives you xp.

Tips: ensure knocking out creatures is easier than killing them in your mechanics.

Slowing creatures down with wounds allows players to escape. Half HP is half speed, quarter is quarter speed.

TIP: guilt is powerful. Having little loved ones mouring the monster/village militia they killed may get them to take them to a healer.

TIP: introduce a kindly town healer early.

TIP: be gay. Do crimes.
