[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6034849, member: 1465"] Fair point, in the type or style of D&D I prefer myself, Wizards and Clerics (unlike non-spellcasting priests) are always rare and special. Even if you consider more standard D%D where easily 10% of the population has class levels, it still means that PCs are well above average Joes, always... to the point that in fact the poll makes no sense at all. I don't think that was really the intent of the poll, and the difference in meaning of the poll options. The difference I was thinking about is in my first post: fairly normal person who gets powerful by learning and doing (i.e. getting levels) VS abnormally gifted person who is "preset" to become a hero. (EDIT: also, the poll says "what is a 1st-level PC" but clearly means "what should a 1st-level PC be", otherwise the answer for me would be that they are all already heroes) [/QUOTE]
