I have. But remember, as I've noted, this isn't one random roll, but at least two interacting (more when you factor random attribute generation).

Are you saying that your typical campaign experience is that one player has a young farmer while every other player has generated an experienced warrior type?

I'm saying my experience is that over a decent sized group of characters generated, one or more will be sufficiently substandard as to show the problems I'm discussing relative to the others. This simply isn't that hard; just the age roll alone can do it, and being a 2D6 roll, the probability of occasionally getting a really low roll isn't all that low; a 17-18 year old comes up one time in twelve. Nor is farmer the only marginal occupation. I've simply used the 17 year old farmer as the example because its pretty much the extreme example, but there are others that are less extreme while still problematic (the sailor I mention in my prior post, for example).
