Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A Commoner gains no proficiency with any type of weapon, armor, or shield.

Simplified Feats

Commoners do not gain feats (except racial bonus feats). Each time that a commoner would gain a feat, he instead gains a +2 to his hit points.

Simplified Skills

Commoners do not gain skill points. When a commoner makes a skill check, he uses his class level in place of his skill rank for class skills. He has zero ranks in all cross class skills.

Commoners from races with the Skilled or Highly Skilled ability choose one additional skill to treat as a class skill but otherwise gain no benefit from that ability.
