[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9795963, member: 4534"] In D&D 5th edition, even starting characters do not represent the statistical norm. Your 1st level halfling Fighter is better trained, better equipped, and more powerful than the majority of halflings in the setting. By level three, your halfling is like a Navy Seal if he had been bitten by a radioactive panther. There is nothing normal about a D&D PC no matter the level. I do prefer games where player characters lean towards the normal side of the equation, especially as our good colleague [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER] describes it. Even in a game like D&D, where the PCs are ridiculously heroic, most of the people I game with play characters that are psychologically normal.
