Historical Figures as Dungeons&Dragons characters

[Caesar of Bread]

Is this in the right forum? Don't know.

Anyways, I am trying to create D&D characters based off of historical people. Here is my first one:


Theodore Roosevelt
Human
Male
Fighter (Rough Rider?)
Weapon:
2 Swords (each does 10 damage)
Strength: 15
Wisdom: 15
Dexterity: 12
Charisma: 10
Intelligence: 10
Stamina: 10
Background: Theodore Roosevelt was born a sickly child in the region of New York. Having gone to the west as a cowboy and worked in his hometown as a cop, Theodore Roosevelt is ready to join the party!

 

[¯\_ (ツ)_/¯]

Sounds about right. I would say that he wasn't all that handsome, but he did have charisma!

 

[Birdjaguar]

TR was not as healthy as one might surmise. IIRC he was sickly child who worked hard to be able to be as outdoorsy as he was.

 

[Plotinus]

Charlie Chaplin
Half-elf
Bard (College of Eloquence) / Rogue (Swashbuckler)
STR: 12
DEX: 18
INT: 13
WIS: 10
CON: 10
CHA: 18

(I'm aware that Chaplin was not actually a half-elf, but if he were a D&D character, he would be.)

 

[Buster's Uncle]

I'm not so sure he wasn't a half-elf...

 

[Caesar of Bread]

Joan D'Arc and Julius Caesar could work too (Joan D'Arc as a paladin that is for sure)
Nikola Tesla or Thomas Edison for artificier?

 

[Buster's Uncle]

Both and they hate each other?
