It is mostly definitely not a typical farm-hand. It is a trained, but inexperienced, professional warrior. A 1st level fighter is better at melee combat than any other 1st level character, which is not something that most farm-hands could say.You could probably make an argument that it could be that farmboy who was particularly naturally talented and played with wooden swords a lot. Either way--a basic trained soldier or a naturally talented farm-hand, which can be skinned and skilled differently--ends up amounting to a similar level of competency, aka 1st level fighter.</blockquote>
