[QUOTE="JRRNeiklot, post: 3739615, member: 717"] I guarantee you any kid out of basic can use with proficiency a nine millimeter, a .38, an AK47, A knife, a grenade, an rpg (pun intended), a stick, a .45, a shotgun, a .22, or any other caliber rifle or handgun. However, if he tries to rob Farmer Joe, he might STILL get his head blown off. That's first level as it should be. His training has gotten him in better shape than most people, taught him how to maintain weapons and armor and how to peel potatoes. :-) Other than that he' no better a fighter than Farmer Joe. Now, mind you, when you throw a party of 5 pcs together, that extra 2-4 hit points and slightly better hit chance adds up. Sure, they're better fighters than commoners, but only marginally so. They're not heroes in any sense other than the guy who pulls a drowning kid out of a pond is. He's a hero by deed, not by stats. [/QUOTE]
