IMO 1st level (N)PCs are children or adolescents. This is supported by the starting ages for PC classes. As Sound of Azure mentioned NPCs gain XP too. I think that the NPC classes were invented for exactly that. In 2E you had all those 0-lvl humans running around who would die if you so much as looked at them. 3e takes nice care of that. A commoner will advance to level 2 or 3 at least, perhaps level 6 when he dies of old age. Age modifiers will do their part to keep some of his abilities like hps and fighting ability stagnating (or even deteriorating) between levels 3 to 6 while his life experience increases his skills and abilities (feats). Check out the examples in the threads above. Level 1 commmoners have to be either very young or very inexperienced IMO.See also <a href="http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/theoryaboutpeasants.html" target="_blank">SKR's Theory about peasants</a> and the great <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=271547" target="_blank">Level advancement over a lifetime</a>, and the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=97601&page=1&pp=40" target="_blank">Common Commoner</a> discussions.Also MavrickWeirdo's:<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=20566" target="_blank">Commoner over a lifetime</a> <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=19173" target="_blank">NPC guard over lifetime</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=82012" target="_blank">Elf Commoner over a lifetime</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=24897" target="_blank">NPC Expert over a lifetime</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=83038" target="_blank">Expert vs. Commoner over a lifetime</a> <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=80107" target="_blank">Runners</a>and Blackdirge's:<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=29357" target="_blank">Orc warrior NPC throughout his life</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=29686" target="_blank">Gnoll NPC adept throughout his life and beyond</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/printthread.php?t=31800" target="_blank">Half-Ogre Wizard NPC throughout a lifetime</a>Turanil's <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=99643" target="_blank">D100 NPC thread</a> has lots of very interesting  Everyday NPCs, among them:<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=1794635&postcount=35" target="_blank">VERY HIGH LEVEL BASIC NPCs</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=1886831&postcount=49" target="_blank">Toothless Joe, high level commoner</a></blockquote>
