When you have 3 points in the skill you have all exotic weapon proficiencies. Absolutely, the commoner class is for just what it sounds like- commoners. Now characters are heroes so they dont need to take the commoner class unless they have level adjustments. Commoner- gaurds and such will be a multi-class between fighter and commoner, spell-casting commoners will be a blend of scholar and commoner, thugs and street rogues will be a blend of rogue and commoner.For races with a level adjustment they will actually get 1 commoner level for every LA they have. I have come up with a race building mechanic that assigns what LA a race will be and hence how many commoner levels the race will have.I may as well duplicate it here:Race Build ChartEach level adjustment (LA) gives the character 1 automatic commoner level. The character’s starting level is equal to their total levels including those from the LA.[CODE]LA    Points+0    1-3+1    4-6+2    7-9+3    10-12+4    13-15+5    16-18[/CODE]3 point featuresSpell like abilities (strong)2 point features+2 to a statSpell like abilities (medium)DarkvisionMagic resistant (+2 to all saves against magic)1 point featuresSize Small (speed 20, +1 to hit, +1 AC, +4 to sneak, -4 to maneuvers)Size Large (speed 30, -1 to hit, -1 AC, -4 to sneak, +5' reach, +4 to maneuvers)+10 speedLow light visionSleepless (meditate 4 hours)+1 skill pointSpell like abilities (weak)+1 natural armorPoison resistant (+2 to saves against poison)0 point featuresSize Medium (speed 30)-1 point features-2 to a stat-10 speedLight sensitivity (blinded for 1 round dazzled thereafter)•    Goblin: small, +2 dex, -2 str, -2 cha, +10 speed, darkvision•    Orc: medium, +4 str, -2 int, -2 cha, darkvision, light sensitivity•    Kobold: small, +2 dex, -4 str, -2 con, darkvision, +10 speed, +1 natural armor, light sensitivity•    Hobgoblin (6 points): +2 dex, +2 con, darkvision, +1 LA•    Bugbear (9 points): large, +4 str, +2 dex, +2 con, -2 int, -2 cha, darkvision, +2 LA•    Drow elf (7 points): medium, +2 dex, -2 con, spell like abilities (medium), darkvision, magic resistant, sleepless, light sensitivity, +2 LA•    Gnoll (7 points): medium, +4 str, +2 con, -2 int, -2 cha, darkvision, +1 natural armor, +2 LA•    Ogre (16 points): large, +10 str, +4 con, -2 dex, -4 int, -4 cha, darkvision, +5 natural armor, +5 LASo, as an example a 1st level fighter ogre will be a commoner 5/fighter 1 and count as a 6th level creature. He would have HP 28 +(CON x 5), BAB +3.5 (rounded to +3), CL 1.5 (rounded to 1), and 7.25 (rounded to 7) + INT. Now figuring out the CR... that is a little tougher. However with this slimmed down system I may go with arbitrary xp awards and have no combat awards. I have a system that I have been working on a while that I will probably adopt and add to v1.8.</blockquote>
