Re: Stats For Students
Well ... before folks go on the "realistic children" rails, I'd think a bit even beyond the fictional heroes paradigm. It's not just in the Harry Potter canon, but in many kid-adventurer works: the kids not only routinely take on adults, but beat them.
Now sure, sometimes this can be sloughed off as sheer dumb luck or the speed of plot, but. The notion of minors-as-incapable is very much a Western shibboleth of the last several decades.
