It's easy to be confused about this; the average starting character in Hero Wars is really powerful, compared to a lot of other fantasy games; they already have a lot of history behind them compared to RQ, for example. There really aren't guidelines for creating non-heroic characters, as far as I can tell. Of course, the average peasant doesn't figure in too many sagas, but sometimes you need to know what their stats are for gaming purposes.
