[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5486342, member: 22779"] Except that your 1st level fighter can have percentile strength, for no other reason than his class, if we're talking 1e or 2e. Your 1st level fighter in 3e is based on a point buy value that makes him superhuman compared to baseline. NPC's don't roll their stats, they work from 15 point buy assumption. When have you ever seen a PC with a 15 point buy? Heck, even as far back as 1e, when they talked about demographics, PC's were less than a single PERCENT of the given population. Most humans had a d6 HP, not even a hit die. Even by 3e, those demographic percentages hadn't actually changed that much and PC's were still head and shoulders above the common man. Farmboy in 3e is a Commoner 1, with a 15 point buy value. A 1st level PC fighter is considerably more powerful. Heck, even a classed NPC isn't even considered as strong of a challenge as a PC.
