If the PCs need to interact with Dave the Yokel then they will -I'm not wasting my time writing his stats and giving him a detailed background story. If they want to attack and kill Dave the Yokel he will have HP 1 and BAb -4 (non-proficient)Technik has pretty much covered the point that once a Commoner starts 'doing stuff' that goes beyond the drudgery of breaking your back to plough a feild, collecting dry dung to fuel the fire and using what limited fort you might have to overcome this years plague the NPC has acquired some other class be it Expert or Warrior or...Farmers are Experts, they hire (or have/own) Commoners to work as labourers in the fields. Derrick the Blacksmith and head of the town militia is an Expert/WarriorChief Begora of Clan Magob is a Warrior/Aristocrat, and his sister Maeb is an Adept.- ie NO COMMONERS REQUIREDAlsoMedieval Commoners (ie Serfs) weren't healthy and robust and wouldn't have good fort. They were often sickly and suffered from multiple diseases and vermin infestations. Childbirth was life threatening and infant mortality high.</blockquote>
