Advancement that isn't leveling up

In many GLOGhacks, characters stop gaining levels or stop gaining class abilities after level 4. Emphasis, it is thought, should be placed on advantages and changes gotten through play, such that every part of the character sheet stands to be altered. Many DMs, including veteran GLOGniks, struggle to continue a sense of personal advancement after leveling ceases, and I have endeavored to collect here examples of how to proceed.

When an item below doesn't contain a link, that indicates an opportunity to create a system for it; I and either unaware of or unsatisfied with attempts to do that form of advancement justice. I want this to be a living resource. Please link me to new ideas as you find or write them.

Non-level Advancement

• Straight-up domain-level play
• Feudalism a la Many Rats on Sticks.
• Starting (and managing) a family
• Injuries are more likely to give you thematically-relevant alterations.
• You turn towards your local community and attempt to change it for the better.
• You make use of a parasite or curse.
• A curse like the God-Curses of RotMP, which grant power but may consume you.
• You begin to tend to the creation of a castle or settlement.
• A magical effect is known to transform you.
• Alongside normal leveling, granting advantages based on any element of a character sheet which is improved.
• Based on a similar system in DIE TRYING.
• The acquisition of marvelous replacements for existing body parts
• The acquisition of scrolls, spells, staves, and orbs.
• Leading warbands into battle.
• Eating the heart of a giant makes you a giant in turn.
• The maintenance of fame and renown

a Partial Bestiary of Consequences

• werewolves (lycanthropy)
• vampires (enthrallment and vampirism)
• witches (curses and transformations)
• alan (children)
• Genie (consequences)
• Salmon of Wisdom (wisdom)
• Baí Zé (monster lore)

d33 Three-Attribute Systems

Divvying up different advantages to different primary attributes is the joy of any industrious game designer. Since three-attribute systems have been in vogue for a while, I will save you the trouble of deciding between the best ones. When making each character, roll a d3. On a "1", roll once on the table below and take the result as your three attributes. On a "2", roll twice, taking the first two attributes of the first and the last attribute of the second. On a "3", roll three times and pick a random attribute from each entry.

Since the perfection of these systems is both evident and intuitive, I will not be taking questions on what each attribute influences. Thank you.

When your GLOG Wizard Doesn't Have a Spell List

In the wake of the proliferation of microclasses, people may find themselves playing some kind of magic-using class that claims to use traditional GLOG magic dice, despite lacking a spell list. To offer guidelines for use when a random wizard needs appropriate spells, I share my thoughts here.

You only really need, like, three of these for a level 1 character; any more is just to distinguish two wizards of the same school. Further spells should be found and created in play.

1. Speak to X (such as a kind of substance, creature, or item)
2. X to Y (transmute one kind of substance into another)
3. Offensive-but-roundabout spell (harmful to foes, but not just directly dealing vanilla damage to them)
4. Grant a boon
5. Inflict a curse
6. Movement spell (such as speed, new vectors, through or along certain substances, etc.)
7. Alteration of form 
8. Tackle domain-relevant hazard 
9. Offensive-but-specific spell (serious harm in specific conditions)
10. Information Gathering (divination or perception-enhancing)
11. Social Lubricant
12. Forced Move (directly causing a target to act in a certain way)

General Guidelines (See also Skerples on Wizards)

• Always tie something back to the [dice] used or the [sum] of them
• Direct and automatic damage to one target is typically [sum], with a little bonus effect
• “Save negates" is for cowards, but— 
• Class abilities (including spells) should create new options and potential problems, They should not negate the game.
• Open-ended spells are best.

You have some followers who'll run interference for you, back up your more outlandish claims, and do you illegal favors - but they all expect your claim to hold true, you to inherit, and to be handsomely rewarded.
3. You've lied and cheated and stolen for so long that you can bribe officials and other nobles to look the other way with pretty much any charge. Just like a real noble!
