Commoners
Although the Material Plane is populated by terrifying monster and valiant heroes, it is important to remember that the majority of its denizens are everyday people.

Only in extreme circumstances, such as self-defense or severe insult, will commoners engage in a fight, especially against an obviously superior foe. In the face of a greater threat, the commoner's first tactic is to flee, either saving themselves or those they care about..
