Re: Should commoners be more powerful?
Something I haven't seen pointed out yet is that average scores of 10s across the board does not really mean most commoners have 10s across the board, any more than the average person has one of each sex's reproductive organ. Straight 10s is just an easy approximation, but in reality a lot of people are going to have 12s or 13s, and 8s and 9, and a lot of people are going to have total ability modifiers of +6 or +8 (balanced out by others with total modifiers of -6 or -8). If I'm not mistaken the rules even state that NPCs use 3d6 to roll stats, but I'm AFB and the SRD doesn't appear to have the parts of the DMG about rolling up NPCs, it just says that the nonelite array is appropriate for monsters taking levels in NPC classes.

Re: Should commoners be more powerful?
Fixed and/or ruined that for you.
But as for the cats vs commoners point, I think the problem is that the common housecat is wildly overrated by 3.0 and 3.5. Their claw/claw/bite attack routine is comparable to the small Badger's, rather than the single attack of the tiny (ie cat-sized New York subway) Rat (bite d3-4) or the Dog(bite d4+1) or tiny Hawk (d4-2) or tiny Weasel (d3-4, attaches for continuing bite damage). If the cat is scaled down to one attack, it's not nearly the Commoner-killer of 3.X forum lore.Last edited by johnbragg; 2015-03-21 at 06:29 AM.

Re: Should commoners be more powerful?
What level are commoners in question?
If 1st, then maybe just give them back their racial Humanoid HD?
