Adventurer Roleplaying

This page is meant as an advise for both adventurer players and those dealing with them (judges, local lords, etc).

What it Means to be a Commoner

Most of us modern-day people have no idea about the day-to-day reality of class differences in the middle ages. Fact is that common men and nobles were living in two different worlds. Here's a few ideas, taken from the real world, just to give you the idea:

• If a noble wounded or killed a commoner, he might be liable for damages to the commoner's lord, but never to the commoner.
• Commoners could be killed on the spot for the smalles crimes against their lord.
• Most nobles would've considered it insulting to the extreme to have to share a room with a commoner, up to and including dungeon cells.
• For a commoner, even talking to a noble without being asked a question first was often considered a major breach of etiquette.
