Conan continues his service as a soldier of Turan for a total period of about two years, traveling widely and learning the elements of organized warfare.  After becoming involved with the mistress of the commander of the cavalry division in which he was serving, Conan finds it necessary to  leave the Turanian army.  Rumors of treasure send him seeking for loot in the Kezankian Mountains, along the eastern borders of Zamora.

Combat

Conan's fighting style has gained his well known deadliness at this period of time.  His combat reflexes give him quite the advantage in mass battles, with up to four attacks of opportunity as soldiers pass through his threat zone.  His Great Cleave skill allows him to further wade through lesser warriors, crushing them left and right.


Rage
: Once per day, Conan can go into a rage and   increase his Strength and Constitution by +4, and gains a +2 morale bonus  to Will saves.  He suffers a -2 penalty to AC.

Fast movement:
Conan's speed is increased by +10 feet when wearing no armor, light armor, and shields.

Sneak Attack:
Canan strikes a vital spot for extra damage  whenever he catches an opponent flat footed or when he flanks an  opponent.

Evasion:
If exposed to an effect that allows a Reflex save  for half damage Conan takes no damage if that save is successful.

Uncanny Dodge: Conan retains his dexterity bonus to his AC even when caught flatfooted or surprised.  He can sense danger before it even becomes apparent.
Note: Once again, a non-Canonical story.  If I have erred in this presentation, it is through too much use of the de Camp stuff.  I enjoyed his pastiches, I must say (although it pisses me off that he mangled Howard's completed stories - which is why The Bloodstained God is not included).  Anyway, he is still in the military, so I upped his Fighter level (mostly to get the Mounted Combat feat, which Conan would use later on on the steppe).  Largely I included these pastiches to get some of the basic feats I felt Conan should have in later Howard stories.  These are feats that take a lot of time to get as a Barbarian, so de Camp's chronology allowed me to have an easy out - the Fighter with bonus feats.  All a means to an end, you could say.
