Change name of "Commoner" class to "Expert"

It's the more accurate nomenclature that falls in line with 3.5 edition rules. "Commoners" and "Experts" are both NPC classes, but Expert is a class for crafters, merchants, skilled laborers, etc. It also just sounds cooler. Some people might not want to be branded a "commoner" for RP reasons, plus it just kind of sounds degrading.

I like the 'commoner' name, personally.

Interestingly 'Expert' was what we very nearly called 'Specialist' (and if this suggestion was approved the names would be too similar)

Rejected.
