However, it is fair to assume that the PC classes are not easy to enter, and that being a fighter requires certain circumstances not available to a country bumpkin. Or that some people choose not to become fighters because doing so entails additional difficulty or risk.What they don't say is that all NPCs must be warriors because NPCs are inferior to PCs.The DM also got to pick the NPC's class. Nothing stopped him from making the character a fighter; he chose warrior because he felt it represented the character's amateur status. Again, the rules aren't forcing a difference between PC's and NPCs, they've simply given the DM a tool to differentiate between more skilled and less skilled characters (of the player or nonplayer variety).</blockquote>
