I think you could too, but not if you derived from the work where they
defined their Conan. That would be a breach of your agreement to abide by
their terms of what is or is not PI in exchange for using their (presumably
other) OGC.
It might be an interesting exercise to see what would happen if you stripped
out all of the OGC you wanted to use for a particular derivation, published
that as a work, and the derived from that interim work. Then you have made
it pretty clear that you didn't use their version of Conan because
(presumably) their and his OGC stats were not in the interim work. Even if
you duplicate his stats completely and make it OGC all you have to defend
there is your right to contribute. You've sailed straight out of the safe
harbor, but you've got your OGC Conan.
