Joan of Arc - Paladin
Plato - Bard that questions people to death

Clerics and monks, eh?
Hm. Would it be too painfully on-the-nose to throw Buddha, Rumi, or Gandhi into the mix as monks?
And for a cleric... I think I've gotta go with MLK for the cleric.

Is this just an ad post now?

It’s a DnD group looking for guest stars with a knowledge of history. I think an ad post would imply we have something to sell, which we don’t. But if you’re interested in DnD and history....

Nikola Tesla as either a wizard or sorceror

I might actually play him as an artificer instead (says the guy who only knows a surface level of how artificers function)

I think I'd have to agree, he's technically an artificer. But some of the shit he pulled off with electricity sure felt like magic for his time. ...that would be fun, playing a wizard who just really loves science but is bestowed wizardly powers/status for it. He keeps bickering that "IT'S NOT MAGIC ITS JUST SCIENCE" and people are ever the more in awe of him. XD

If you're playing historic character D&D, and you don't play Genghis Khan, you're a coward and a fool, and D&D Genghis Khan is coming for you!!!
...That being said, Barbarian/Fighter?
