	5 yr old:  0
	15 yr old:  1
	shopkeeper:  4
	doctor:  10
	soldier:  6

That's just my opinion, influenced a bit by Shadow World NPC's. I like my PC's to start out being inexperienced compared to the average Joe, but end up surpassing them because of having more opportunities and ability (i.e. better than average stats and anything they come across in gaming sessions). They used to think that being more powerful meant they could rest easier. Now they know it means simply that they attract the attention of even more powerful people. They can't win! MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
