Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greg K" data-source="post: 6789727" data-attributes="member: 5038">My thoughts would be Fighter/Rogue and possibly Outlander backgroundMearls stated that in 4e, Conan was the model for the 4e Fighter and that he would make Conan a Fighter/Rogue multiclass in 4e. And 4e does have a raging Barbarian class.I was going to write this as well. However, in 1e, the Barbarian was also an outdoor survivalist as well. Primary Abilities<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Climb cliffs and trees as a thief (and other types of surfaces once they have had the opportunity to practice that type of surface)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hide in Natural Surroundings (and at +3 levels if the surrounding are familiar to the barbarian)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Surprise: when in familiar terrain they had an increased chance to surprise opponents and a decreased chance to be surprised.</li> </ul>Secondary skills included <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">survival in the wild</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">first aid including the chance to cure natural poisons and illness</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Outdoor craft: plant and animal detection as a 3rd level druid, direction determination, and predict weather as if casting the spell as a 3rd level druid)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tracking: Outdoors as a Ranger</li> </ul>Then, there were additional tertiary abilities based upon locale or culture of origin (e.g. Animal handling, Long distance signaling, snare building, etc.)Also, a feature of the 1e Barbarian was the increased AC bonus for dex over 14 when not wearing armor that was bulky or fairly bulky)</blockquote>
