[QUOTE="RedTonic, post: 5580092, member: 98994"] The vast majority of my campaign world's populace have one level in an appropriate NPC class, usually commoner, sometimes expert. Most magic casters are adepts rather than having levels in a PC class (low magic game); most nobles are warriors; most officials are aristocrats or experts. Likewise, military forces are composed of commoners, warriors, and experts. Someone who's pretty accomplished at arms or at a skill will probably go up to NPC level 3, but theoretically most stay at level 1 from adulthood to death. Kids are basically 0th level (unless they're undergoing some sort of rigorous education, which is uncommon). The setting's in the sophistication range where most families have several children with the expectation that only a few will survive til adulthood. If I did a graph of population by NPC class over, say, the last couple decades, the growth in experts would outstrip growth in any other class.
