[QUOTE="Hitokiri, post: 1985797, member: 26469"] Yeah. I just feel that trying to shoehorn every single person in the world into some sort of psuedo PC class results in as many problems as it solves. A blacksmith is just a blacksmith in my games. If, for some reason, it comes to combat, I'd probably give him a bonus to his attack much like a first level fighter (hey, he's been swinging his tools around for a long time and knows hgow to use them), but he shouldn't have more HP just because he's good at crafting plows. I also vary those numbers based on circumstance. A kingdom that has been fighting with the orcs frm the dark forest for the past 200 years is very likely going to have a higher number of 1-5 level classed people (they draft a lot of young men to help guard the borders, which gives them a lot of farmers who have some battle experience :D ). A kingdom that has known peace for a century will probably have fewer. [/QUOTE]
