Think of one historic figure from history.

Now think about them in D&D terms.

What class would they be?

If you are stuck you can simply list the name and perhaps people can come with the best fit of class or multi-class builds for that person from history.

I'll get it started with two:

Joan of Arc -- Favored Soul, Paladin or Cleric? Perhaps a combination of these. If so, how many levels of each? I'm not sure.



Robin Hood -- Rogue, Ranger or Bard? I think a combo of Ranger/Rogue but how many levels of each?


Thanks everyone.

Anyways back to the topic at hand

Christopher Columbus: Bardbarian 16/4 or Rogue/Ranger if DDO only or some weird Swashbuckler/Ranger mix if not

Cleric. No way in hell you're gonna fill three ships for that raid w/o a cleric in the party from the get go.

*waits for the "chuck norris is a 20 barbarian / 20 monk" and then the subsequent "you can't be both" and then the follow-up "yes, you can, you just can't gain anymore levels in monk" followed by some unrelated picture*

"yes, you can, you just can't gain anymore levels in monk"

The answer is "Yes, you can't".

Ghandi - 20 monk with no combat whatsoever.
All his skill points are in diplomacy and concentration.

I have another one although it flirts with fiction and not exact history.

Merlin.

Some texts say Druid.

Lots of fiction written says Wizard.

Can you multi-class those -- A Druid/Wizard? Maybe 12 Druid 8 Wizard?

Hmm?
