One thing that falls out of this is that there aren't any 15th level commoners, nor very many at even 10th level. But another thing that falls out is that the DMG system that has the vast majority at 1st level becomes nonsense. Typical commoners will range from about 3rd to 6th level, and 1st level commoners will be fairly uncommon. I worked out some alternative demographics (including other NPC classes with a similar set of rules-again, not SKR's rules but some very like them in spirit), and frankly, 1st level PC's are not exactly going to be even mildly important. Until mid-levels (i.e. 8th to 10th), the most important figures in society will be considerably more powerful.I haven't decided yet if this is a good or bad thing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
