I was looking at the kobold stat block in Rules Cyclopedia ( because who doesn't want to look at a kobold stat block?) and I was reminded that kobolds save as Normal Man. (I would have assumed Fighter) That gave me the idea for a regular non-adventurer class which would be based on the "normal" human stat block. Basically the class consists of city, town and village folk, some with regular professions.
Rules Cyclopedia says:
Most humans are "normal" humans and have little or no role in adventures. Some normal people belonging to specific professions or social classes (such as merchant, soldier, lord, scout, sage, healer, and so forth) are of help in some adventures. Soldiers and other fighting men will
have higher morale. Typical normal humans arc peasants, children, housewives, workers, artists, villagers, townspeople, fishermen and scholars.
So here is the Folk Class

At Higher Levels Starting at 'Name" or 9th Level, Folk may build a countryside farm, village or hamlet. They must report to a ranked official of some type, either a local lord, baron, or a ruler of the nation where they wish to ask for land. The official or ruler should willingly grant the land - unless the character has had problems in the region or with the official in an the past. If so, the ruler or official may require some service of the Folk (such as a quest or additional duty's) before they grant the land. Granting land will usually come with taxes to the overarching kingdom or lord etc.
Folk choosing to travel instead will travel to the wilderness or unsettled lands usually searching for water and arable land. Traveling folk would normally travel with other Folk and possibly other characters similar to an adventuring party (though the others may all be NPCs). Once founding a farm, village or hamlet, Folk may earn titles such as "founder", "elder" "mayor" and the like.
