[QUOTE="fanboy2000, post: 5489340, member: 19998"] That is to say, how powerful compared to the rest of the game world. This is my take on the choices: Superheroic: The PCs and an handful of [i]really[/i] bad guys are way better than the rest of the world and none of the training or learning in the world will get a commoner there. Extraordinary: The PCs are the very good at what they do because they have training and physical talent. Commoners may get to PC power levels through training, study, and practice. Ordinary: PCs are no better at what they do than most of the population. This doesn't exclude the possibility that there are a lot of people less powerful than them as well. Ordinary, not sub-par. All of the above: Either because it depends on the DM or the edition, or some other reason you've thought of. Any two: You like to of the choices, but you think one of them is off base.
