A Commoner-1 is a typical peasant labourer. I'd probably stat an English Yeoman as a Warrior-1, since they were required to train with bills, poll axes, or longbows.Edit: In a poor town, a part-time watchman might just have a leather jerkin and a club, but to get the job he'd still be tougher than the average man, so certainly Warrior-1 at minimum.Edit 2: I suppose when I think of City Guard & Watch in a dangerous fantasy environment, I think of the men of the Royal Ulster Constabulary I knew back in Northern Ireland in the '80s, more than the men of London's Metropolitan Police today. The former would be statted as Warriors, the latter mostly as Experts, with some multi-class Warrior/Expert. Only part-time unpaid Special Constables might be Commoners.</blockquote>
