If 10 is average my stats are way too low.

Eh, a ten will give you about a 50/50 roll if something is "easy," and only about a 25% chance if something is "medium" difficulty. Sounds about right for me.

Am I gonna shut my damn mouth when I should? 75% of the time, no.

10 is average for an adventuring hero. Not necessarily for most "civilians" if you want to call them that.

Edit: I stand corrected. Must have confused it with some other system or an older edition.

Incorrect. Commoner is all 10s

12.5 is average for an adventuring hero using the standard array plus typical adjustments for race.

Even if you roll 3d6 across the board with no adjustments, old school, 10.5 is average.

5e commoners are 10 across the board.

Incorrect, 10 is the average for the average human.
