Conan became fed up with civilization and its magic, so he rode back to his native Cimmeria.  After a month or two of wenching and drinking, he grew restless and rejoined the Aesir on a raid into Vanaheim.

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: With "The Frost Giant's Daughter" we are back to the Howard Canon again.  Some argue that this story takes place before "The Tower of the Elephant", others like it where it currently sits.  Either way, he earns a level in Barbarian here.  He isn't learning to fight in military style.  His instincts for combat are being honed here - hence the level in Barbarian.   If you move this back to "The Tower of the Elephant", just add a level to barbarian to the levels after that.

Anyway, at this point, I felt a level of Barbarian was appropriate.  After all, he is a barbarian and should have levels of barbarian!
