If you'll forgive a little tongue in cheek response on the billions- The numbers of exceptional stat line powerful people vs. the average 10's is more than covered by  HFIMR (high fantasy infant mortality rate). The billions of straight tens are born, but few make it to adulthood or adventuring age. Every time a charismatic fertile barbarian "hero of the people" is passing through villages and meeting the ladies, a subsequent lack of medical care, education, and malnutrition levels the population out to the disparity seen in the classic High Fantasy setting. This is all behind the scenes of course and I don't traumatize the players with this knowledge, as they are already dealing with the incalculable village razings of most of the adult age 10's by monsters, wars, plagues, and pestilence.</p></blockquote><p></p>
