Thank you for writing this, so I can jump in :-)
This is one point that disturbs me in most RPGs.
Always you have to KILL and HURT someone for getting exp.
Why not getting exp just for USING your skills ?

In real life you can train archery by shooting at trees or targets,
and you don't have to shoot people for getting better :)

Hmm...maybe some differentiation between SKILL and EXP would be
needed (like in Tibia...).
