Guys like Wellington were aristocrats. Napoleon, however, having come up the ranks could easily be a fighter - with a good intelligence and feats/weapons based around artillery and using a whole new set of fighter bonus feats geared around the weapons of 18th-19th century war rather than fantasy.Trying to build Napoleon as a fighter using the feats in D&D is like buildilng the Empire State Building using the materials of the the Lighthouse of Alexandria. While the materials of the lighthouse may have produced impressive results back in their day, they aren't up to the different environment of Depression-era New York City. New materials have to be added or the comparison becomes not only futile but foolish.</blockquote>
