[QUOTE="DandD, post: 4541213, member: 55168"] Conan doesn't wear armour if he's a pirate, raiding the black coast, and sailing on a ship, an aquilonian ranger, who slays picts and prowls in the woods without making noises, a defeated mercenary, who's looking for water, or a thief stealing jewels from ivory towers with alien elephants, where he needs to be able to climb. He wore armor when he jumped to the merchant ship fleeing from the local authorities, before massacring Belith's band of black pirates thanks to his armour. He also wore armor when he wanted to rape the daughter of an ice giant, which was his very early years as a cimmerian warrior. In fact, you could say that he never was a barbarian defined by D&D. The Conan Archetypre wore plate armour, that's a fact that can never be changed. Even as a king, people called him a barbarian (which was meant as an insult, not as a class feature :p ), and he raged and slayed and maimed everybody on the battlefield, be it The Scarlet Citadel, or the novel version of this story, The Hour Of The Dragon. As regarding the 4th edition of the Barbarian, I would really like that they could at least were chain-mail. And that the name be changed to Berserker, dammit. [/QUOTE]
