I'd rather he be assigned a slightly higher level to compensate.Basically, I'm inclined to think that Conan should be buildable as a rules-legal character using whatever build method is recommended for PCs.(If you give him unusually high stats but moderate level, that makes him unattainable - no PC can ever match him. Conversely, if he's higher level but has achievable stats, that means a PC can match him; they just haven't done so yet.)Having said that, Conan is a case where I think his stats change significantly over time. Somewhere in there he transitions from mostly-thief to mostly-warrior to mostly-king, and transitions from having an extremely high Str and moderate mental stats to having a lower (but still quite high) Str and much higher mental stats. Part of that is just a matter of aging, but I don't think that covers it all - as Conan goes on he definitely seems to work on improving his Cha as he shifts from loner to leader of men.</blockquote>
