[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7761758, member: 15700"] Sorry, but no. I don't know why people insist on giving a fictional hero a half dozen classes. I blame 1e with Deities and Demigods for starting that lol. In a rigid system like 1e where in order to replicate certain abilities you kinda had to multiclass, you don't need that in 5e. There is no reason why Conan would have all of those classes. You can do Conan with just a fighter, outlander background, and skill choices. Things like remarkable athlete justifies his better than average ability to do thiefing stuff. Outlander background makes him a barbarian by culture (no need for the class) so that works. Etc, etc. Also, people tend to way over inflate the levels. He doesn't need to be 16th level. A 5th level PC is heroic compared to the rest of the people in the world they live in. So look at what he did and who he beat to give a reference. Everything he accomplished could have been done by about 10th level tops. Most literary fictional characters are not sure high level. Reminds me of that old Dragon article: Gandalf was a 5th level magic user ;) [/QUOTE]
