[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5415536, member: 51930"] Dragon Age builds! I'm feeling my way around the system, so this is what I have so far. CONAN THE AVVARIAN! [IMG]http://outlanderthemovie.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/conan.jpg[/IMG] Name: Conan Race: Human (Avvarian) Com 0 Con (2+1) 3 Cun 0 Dex (2+1) 3 Mag 0 Per 2 Str (4+1)5 Wil 0 Spd (10+dex): 13 Def: (10+dex): 13 HP: (30+con+1d6(4)) 37 Background benefits: +1 Str; +1 Dex, +1 Con; F Strength (Climbing); Trade Tongue Class: Warrior: HP 30+3+4 (37) Weapon Group (wg): Brawling; Axes; Heavy Blades; Bludgeons Level Benefits 1) Armor Training (novice); Two-hander Style (Novice); Single-Weapon Style (Novice) 2) Focus: Dexterity (riding) (class); Focus (Heavy Blades); HP +8 (45); Spd 14; Dex +1 (4). 3) Talent: Single Wpn Style (Journeyman); HP +8 (53); Will +1; Focus: Courage (+2) 4) WG: Light Blades; Stunt Bonus (dual strike 3sp); hp+8 (61); Str +1 (6).

Realistically Conan used a Broadsword, so the damage would be 2d6+6, and no two-hander option) [sblock=AUTHOR'S NOTE] This is my first try, and I want to say this is more early-years Conan, the wandering swordsman. No leader of armies here. Useful as a thief in Zamora, or as a pirate, raider, or mercenary. I would have liked to add Legerdemain, Evaluation, and every single Constitution focus, but there aren't the focus slots available. Ditto strength. Also a high Communication, for leadership and impressing vain noblewomen/striking fear into the hearts of his foes. And, of course, Conan really should have a maxed out Str, but 10 points means the other stats would suffer too much to really do any other things he can. Oh well. The rules are very flexible, so he can still *attempt* stuff. I think I covered the basics that I could get to. Emphasis on lighter armors and DEF bonus: He's a warrior, so in theory a front-line fighter. High DEX, so lots of climbing and sneaking about for thievery. Thus my use of the less-damage, more-Defense Single-weapon style. I was thinking about Dual-weapon style, which Conan does use in the REH stories; if the Bastard Sword one-or-two-hands use falls through with the GM (ie: ask), go with Dual-weapon for sure, for the DEF bonus. He's armor-light, but able to jump into the fray. Later Conan should know all weapons groups, and have Talents for them out the wazoo. Also military lore/tactics, and the use of Plate Armor. Still, that can wait until the next boxed sets come out for the higher levels.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
