10 is average for an adventuring hero. Not necessarily for most "civilians" if you want to call them that.

Edit: I stand corrected. Must have confused it with some other system or an older edition.

Incorrect. Commoner is all 10s

i like how according to this everyone just has a big stick stowed away somehere

edit: wait now that i looked again, those are the exact stats for a fist in pf2e if you were level 0 and trained in unarmed attacks

assuming dnd fists work similarly, why didn't they just put in a fist instead of a club?

I was like "do I?" And looked around my room for the first thing I could use as an improvised club and my eyes landed on a sex toy.

well it'll work

unless it's too flexible, idk what kind of toy it is

Because DnD fists do 1 + STR damage, no dice at all.

I mean, plenty of people might be walking around with something roughly stick-shaped. Be it a broom, a shovel or an umbrella, it's all a more effective weapon than bare hands

12.5 is average for an adventuring hero using the standard array plus typical adjustments for race.

Even if you roll 3d6 across the board with no adjustments, old school, 10.5 is average.

5e commoners are 10 across the board.

Incorrect, 10 is the average for the average human.
