| Topic | Why is Conan the Barbarian never portrayed with a beard? |

They're also tied into the Lovecraft mythos, so if you're a literary hipster you can enjoy them on those grounds alone! wolfy42 posted... It's been eons, but....I thought he was initially a thief actually (or some kind of thief/fighter hybrid). He was a pirate for a while, but the stories kind of minimize that, because he's supposed to be a relatively honorable warrior, which becomes sort of awkward if you have him robbing and murdering people. For the most part, he only kills "bad" people who absolutely deserve it in most of the stories. If we were going to boil him down to D&D classes, he's definitely a Fighter with a few levels in either Ranger or Rogue (or both). What he isn't, in any way, is a Barbarian. wolfy42 posted... Anyway, the books are WAY better then the movies. The Dark Horse comics from the early 2000s or so were pretty good as well. They were either directly based on the original stories or influenced by them, so they were more like what Conan is supposed to be than the public perception of what he is post-Arnold. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
