Sort of, but in game character sheets have often been used to reflect physical traits and merits, its only an alternative view point. Also... my computer hates me and I quote spammed by accident >>
For Pathfinder for instance, a first level character is someone who is Heroic, which means heroes get more special things like teleportation, etc. Otherwise, at creation if you utilized base stats (in other games with more hardline statistical rulings) that was what was considered the Racial averages. If you applied that logic, again only keeping in mind the stats and finding some relation to level regarding growth or outstanding abilities, with first level sheets that lack equipment modification (as listed in the link in my post) you could very well use it as a gauge. It's easy to throw in other things to disregard "in game" mechanics but there are reasons why the stats are the way they are. End game they don't really affect that much as the largest gap is 5 points which doesn't grow very much at all.
