Commoner Class

You know 'em. You love 'em. They're the fabric of every D&D world, the put-upons of every party, and now... their time has come.

Cards on the table: this is not a serious class, and I mostly threw this together as a bonus so I could experiment with a few things and learn more of the toolset. It's based on the equally slightly-silly homebrew by LaserLlama, though it's not a full faithful recreation. Sadly I have, in fact, allowed you take feats, and I have not implemented the finale level where you just get a free level in another class. Sorry. Still, I should warn you: maybe don't be too shocked if you find the Commoner a tad undertuned.

This class does not go beyond level 12. There are empty, featureless levels in case you're using a level unlocker, but if you do reach level 12 Commoner, you really do have my permission to go multiclass into anything else. You did it. You beat the Commoner.

What is a Commoner?

A Commoner could be a farmer, a shopkeep, the town's blacksmith -- in general, anyone who neither spends their life gallavanting through the wilds on quests nor commanding other people to do it for them. They do the normal, everyday work that keeps (just barely) the D&D world functional. What would the lich do, had he no towns to terrorise? The warlord, no cities to conquer? You, no questgiver to badger?

But make no mistake. The Commoner isn't helpless. With their d4 Grit Dice, Commoners can subtract damage, add to their attack rolls, and sometimes even mimic a bit of fancy magic. Hardy folk, the Commoner can calculate AC with Constitution instead of Dexterity. With their trusty Old Reliable, a special weapon they keep on hand, the Commoner can use their Wisdom for their attack and damage rolls.

And, of course, no village would be complete without its collection of Tall Tales. Every few levels, you'll be able to remember these obscure, farfetched stories and use them to gain a minor, more... odd benefit. Learn a musical instrument, have a rat follow you around, the ceiling's the limit.

Subclasses

• [] Farmer: Aided by a hardy ox, the Farmer can hand out produce and till fields. And tell their ox to stomp people.

  [] Town Guard: Do I see it? Someone with a bit of actual combat experience? The Town Guard gets limited access to Battle Master maneuvers, but do be aware: guardians of small shires, they
