[QUOTE="Jay Verkuilen, post: 7763128, member: 6873517"] Prodigy is useful, I guess. It has Athletics Expertise, presumably Water Craft for Tools, and some language. That's fine. I think two levels of Rogue gives Conan a lot, though. He gets two Expertises and thus can be good at things he's often described as being solid at without necessarily having nuclear-grade stats in them. For instance, he can have a high Perception without having a super high Wisdom via Expertise. Also, Cunning Action gives Conan a great way to be super mobile, which I think helps a lot at capturing the character. Awesomely fast climbing can happen because he can Dash while Climbing. Four levels of Rogue lets Conan take Scout, which gives him two additional expertises (Nature... eh, and Survival, pretty good that one) and a feat or ASI as well as more mobility. I agree Sneak Attack is not fantastic, but it's not horrible either. Conan is... deadly. Thieves' Tools isn't a good fit so I'd switch it out for something else, either Water Craft or some skill. Conan is deadly, an incredible athlete, and widely competent. Some Rogue really helps make that happen. [/QUOTE]
