[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 7762798, member: 463"] Level - well obviously Conan is not playing 5e with the standard XP/advancement rules. :D He could certainly be playing a pre-3e edition of D&D though! His world does not seem to be one with anything like level 15+ D&D characters in it. Stats - I agree; I'd probably give him 18 in STR & CON (possibly STR 20 in 5e at higher level) but DEX in the 14-16 range is fine for 'Pantherish', especially if he gets the various 5e Barbarian abilities like advantage on DEX saves, act when surprised, advantage on Init rolls etc. His Charisma seems to go up a bit over time; from around 12 in Tower of the Elephant to 14 in Queen of the Black Coast to 16 in Dragon on the Sword. He's never an 18 CHA, which would be more a Joan of Arc (or movie Thulsa Doom) type who can inspire fanatical devotion from nowhere. Conan generally has to attract followers by first putting in the effort to demonstrate competence and effective leadership. [/QUOTE]
