Races for Conan Barbarians

Pick what races you want and run with them. Usually in Sword & Sorcery games non-humans are incredibly hostile. Rather than going with standard fantasy races, why not go with stuff like beastmen.

Except that's not Conan, that's Al Capone.

>>49048399
Cimmerian

>I know that people tend to create barbarians as orcs, humans, and dwarves, but what's another race that you think would make for a good barbarian?
Vampire! Attacking by night, driven to fight in a wild frenzy by a literal thirst for blood.

Cimmerians are humans
>>49049397
Beastmen would be really out there.
I'm not sure how to write a beastman who still feels like a barbarian rather than an ordinary savage.

Conan was a larger than life, naturally intelligent world traveler who made his fortune by hanging on the fringes of society.

So, half-elf that's muscular?

What setting or rule book are you using, op?

Cimmerians are descendants of Atlantians. They are more than mere humans. They are certainly more than the degenerate Shemites, the demonic Stygians, and the beastly Picts that civilized men in their marble walls might call humans.

That's Robert E. Howard.

Robert E. Howard was Al Capone?
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

that would actually be a pretty funny premise for a series or story or movie.
