[QUOTE="mmadsen, post: 1705053, member: 1645"] You scoff at the notion that any reasonable character could single-handedly defeat Conan's foes, and I point out that many of them are low-CR critters that a mid-level Barbarian could easily defeat. When you point out that Conan doesn't fight just "mundane" foes, you use a dragon and two frost giants as your example. I point out that those probably weren't a dragon as defined by D&D and frost giants as defined by D&D; they were probably equivalent to lower-CR opponents. Further, they don't [i]need[/i] to be low-CR for my argument to work; they just need to be lower than Conan. [i]Your[/i] argument is that there's [i]no way[/i] a reasonable PC could defeat the foes Conan defeats. My argument is that a high-level Barbarian (with little magic) could easily defeat many of the foes Conan defeats. So, for the people who define low-magic as "like Robert E. Howard's Conan stories," Robert E. Howard's Conan stories aren't a good example? Huh? What does "a twink powergamer" have to do with low- or high-magic? [/QUOTE]
