[Intrepid Homoludens]

Intuitive levelling up? That could work. But, why not at least double the potential market for those interested and allow players the option of levelling up automatically or tweaking their characters painstakingly? That way more hardcore adventurers (and whoever) needn't worry so much and harcore RPGers can have detailed fun. In KoTOR I hand tweaked everyone's stats initially, and when Sienna (my rogue/Jedi sentinel character) reached the Academy I just auto levelled.
