Conan is much too level-headed and skillful to be a table-top barbarian. My wife and I were watching Conan the Barbarian on our honeymoon and we started discussing game stats for the characters. Īddendum: I think he *might* have a bit of Rogue tossed in there for flavor, too - not much, but a bit. On a side note: I also think he'd rely on his feats and skill-set more than equipment to see him through - he's always running out of funding and stuff. He's also consistently strong - not suddenly strong or anything like that (ie: rage). The fact that he's ungodly strong - that's just a feature of his stats. That's not a Barbarian mindset, IMO, it's a Fighter. Keep in mind the down and dirty nature of his world - it's almost a specific POINT that Conan makes few mistakes in combat because it WILL spell his death. If he's "barbarian" it's more a matter of how he interacts with society and civilization in general rather than a game-mechanic-like emphasis on raging and getting more powerful/reckless. He seems more like a highly skilled Fighter. Sure he's a "barbarian" but for my experience (reading novels, comics, and watching the movies) he's not really a "rage" type of guy. Conan's a LOT more level headed than "rage" types, IMO.
