Fragile as flowers in most editions , 4e has minion class enemies even at level 1 in which it is obvious they are not newbs (themes and a feat at level 1), but I translate that to level 3-5 in 5e . Gygax and Arneson themselves skipped the first levels in their own home games. Gygax never the less named level 1 fighter veteran which at some level implies something under the belt.Are level 1 heroes complete noobs? I've never taken that way.
