I do not practice it for those who clearly do not deserve it, and the designers of 5E have demonstrated their incompetence repeatedly throughout the edition, so I no longer extend them that courtesy. It is much more likely that this is yet another case of sloppy writing than that this is the one intentional use of clever technical language amidst a sea of sloppiness.Certainly, that's not in question, but most of his thiefly skills could easily fall under the criminal background if you were trying to accurately reflect the character in 5E. As far as I know, he doesn't demonstrate the rogue ability of Sneak Attack, which is the actual topic at hand. The sneak attack rules model a very specific type of reality, utilizing distraction and precision rather than power to bypass defenses, and that doesn't describe how Conan fights.</blockquote>
