=== [[Tabletop RPG]] ===
* This is not only possible, but actively encouraged in Tabletop RPGs like ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''. Stellar acting by the players can result in awards of "roleplay exp" from the GM, even if their characters haven't done a thing mechanically. Which naturally created a niche for the "Roleplaying [[Munchkin]]" subspecies (i.e. "I'm being a [[Drama Queen]], now gimme XP")
** Lampshaded in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0125.html this] ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' strip, as well as [http://www.goblinscomic.com/01202007/ this] ''[[Goblins]]'' strip.
* Iron Crown Enterprise's ''[[Role Master]]'' had this in spades. [[PC]]s could get XP for performing maneuvers (e.g. sneaking across a clearing or hiding behind a tree), casting spells out of combat, being hit in battle, receiving a mortal wound, and for traveling in an unfamiliar area (1 xp/mile on land, 1 xp/10 miles while flying or on water).
