How do I explain this? I give out XP for use of skills. If you don't take ten then use of skill and the money made by the skill use can be compared to the amount of treasure normally associated with CRs and worked backward. If the commoner has earned 300 GP, then they must have completed a CR1. Most commoners, worrying about their life and limb, don't risk taking chances with their skills and take 10, excluding them from any form of XP. Those that are highly skilled and adventurous take their rolls and end up pushing their skill set and gaining XP. As they get better they get better jobs that pay more and are equally much more challenging. Your 20th level commoner is somebody who has probably specialized in one or two skills and is the best in the kingdom if not the world for their skill. These would be the artisans and craftsmen that altough of commoner birth are skilled enough that even adventurers and royalty go to them to have masterworks created. The best sculpture in the kingdom. The best armorsmith. The richest merchant. Perhaps the best sailor on the seas.</p></blockquote><p></p>
