Conan is the triumph of the Uncivilized man over civilization. He is not a Barbarian that learned how to be a rogue, he was a good thief because he was born a barbarian. Likewise being a Barbarian made him a good pirate, mercenary, general and king.Which just goes to show how that while fictional Characters can inspire Classes like the barbarian, and concepts like multiclassing, I would hesitate to use those characters to define a class.I like that I can make an Aragorn type character as a Hunter Ranger or, a Battle-master Fighter with the Outlander Background, or OotA Paladin, or some crazy multiclass. Likewise a Conan type character as a pure Barbarian, or a Barb/Rogue or Barb/Fighter, or Barb/Rogue/Fighter. To me that's a strength of the system.*Which is all beside the point of whether or not the designers knew what they were doing when making sneak attack key of the finesse property and not attacking with Dex, and whether or not that's a good idea, so... feel free to ignore me and carry on.</blockquote>
