Up to fate. If the roll good stats then yes, but they still start at first level and earn the rest through hard work.
I covered this stuff in the OP.I’m so confused…
It’s the first word in the thread title.
Are we allowed to say ‘should’ or not?
Also, it depends what you’re playing.
I'll reiterate the OP in case it was unclear: do YOU, personally, prefer PCs, as protagonists, be exceptional as a general thing?Not just every campaign is different....
This is a genre choice. The main characters being "special" or just being normal people are specific tropes, used for various effects.
Not all games should be the same genre, no.

Define "typical"? Would that be a character with all 10s for stats?I most enjoy games in which the player characters start out as typical and then grow into extraordinary. I think it's a lot of fun to see their progression.
