I was referring here to an earlier suggestion that Commoners don't generally have gear (like arms and armor) that adventurers could easily carry off and sell (or possibly use themselves); many would be like Fred Sanford the junkman (from the old 1970s tv show Sanford & Son for those of you younguns). I was arguing earlier that Commoners indeed would have at least some kind of arms, likely ones being Clubs, Staffs, Sickles, Slings, also probably Whips and Spears. In my milieu, Long and Short Bows are *very* common, and I houserule that they be regarded as Simple weapons, thus, many commoners would have bows. Further, it makes sense to me that a large number of even 1st lvl Commoners would have Leather, Padded or Hide Armor.The most salient question here is what kind of wealth does a (mainly human) Commoner have? So since it seems absurd that most Humanoids in their lairs are armed and have armor, it seems entirely ridiculous that 91% of humans (and demi-humans) would be bereft of arms. Thus, logic dictates (in most campaigns I would suggest) that even 1st lvl Commoners should have some "NPC Gear Value," although maybe 900 gp worth might be a stretch.Gizmo writes:</blockquote>
