[QUOTE="Lancelot, post: 7061105, member: 30022"] Sure. Equally, Conan could be modeled as a Ranger 20 as well. He uses the sign of Jhebbal Sag (spell use!?!) to ward off animals in Beyond the Black River, he arguably has Primeval Awareness (he usually "senses" supernatural presences before spotting them), both Colossus Slayer and Horde Breaker are reasonable, etc, etc. Hell, I'd love to model him with a [I]very unusual[/I] Paladin 20. He is devoted, in his own special way, to Crom (yeah... "he needs no worship" and all that, but the names of the gods are on Conan's lips more often than Aragorn or Fafhrd or most other fantasy heroes). He somehow prevails against insanely powerful "demons", perhaps by "smiting" them. He has an Aura of Courage. Give him the Oath of Vengeance, and Vow of Emnity... That could make one of the most interesting paladins I've seen in a long time. And you could model him as a Barbarian 20, or a Fighter 20. For me, though, I like the idea that Conan clearly passes through distinct stages of his career. He's one of the rare few classic fantasy heroes that truly evolves and changes over time. Many heroes "grow"; they get more competent at what they do. But Conan [I]changes[/I]. He's a thief, then he's a mercenary, then a pirate, then a soldier... I like how this can be represented via multi-classing, and it just feels "right" to me. [/QUOTE]
