Variant idea

[twentythree]

How about simple thorns belt picked up to gain the experience for smite? In my no experience boot camp, I deliberately did not use belts with +1 so as to avoid gaining points. So would the 'attacker takes damage of X' be allowed as 'no killing'?

A thorns belt I think would work. It does fit the plot of "no blood on my hands". After all, its not your fault if the monsters decide to atack you. If they wind up killing themselves then it is no burden on your conscious.

But ..... can a lvl 1 character even buy a thorns belt? Is that mod aviable on items at such a low level?

Gold, as you said, can be found in chests and under rocks. And every method of having somethign else kill does work with the exception of flavie. Someone in another thread (I cant remember where) said they went up 2 levles just from all the monsterd dying when they activated the carion stones.

I especialy like the idea of party play with this, where nobody does any killing on their own. A Chilling armor sorc with a thorns aura and battle orders on just standing around letting herself get hit appeals to my screwball way of thinking.
