So I'm thinking of making a new PC for a game I just found. Everyone seems to be using these superpowered OP PCs like an immortal soldier, a crystal golem, a lava elemental, etc. to name a few from what I've found.
Me on the other hand? First idea which came into my head is to make the Ordinary Joe. And by that I don't mean a useless scrub which sits around unable to do anything although I also don't want to be that epic soldier which can cut down 5 people alone for example.
I meant something like Farmer Joe. The guy who until last week was tending to his farm. Oh he still tends to his farm, but hijinks has forced him to get out a little more often than just to get his wares in the nearest city.
The setting is fantasy in case you were wondering.
The system is pretty simplistic from what I've seen. Choose a few abilities (up to five at the start) and then get more as time goes on. Eventually I'll be able to upgrade those to become more effective. By the looks of it, a skill can have up to three stages which only get better.
So the question is, what would a fantasy ordinary joe have for abilities? For example when I first started thinking up the example of Farmer Joe, I'd add built since a farmer would be tending the farm on a daily basis. Another (although this is the more trollish one like I intend to be) would be something like pig wrassler. Like these two examples, they may not be extraordinary like what more people would get (e.g. fireballs and flying) but they would still be effective/useful.
Yeah I guess, the end result would be abilities which seem ordinary but are effective and useful when used too.
Apparently natural abilities of the typical fantasy races are stuff not requiring abilities to mimic. As are the really mundane abilities/knowledges. Only the extraordinary stuff or abilities which are above the average.
