If my husband were a D&D character...

[wizardwife]

...what would he be? He's big and tall, and usually moves slowly and carefully except when faced with a fight...then he breaks out the bone breaking kung fu, he is thoughtful and great at problem solving, knows very little magic, Has vast martial arts training, is mysterious, quiet, solemn, and has a dark sense of humor. His greatest strength is perseverance. He is a protector, provider and leader.

I am average sized, quick, moody, can be mean and hold grudges, fight passionately but would probably die a lot and need healing potions, protective to the point of controlling, intuitive, resourceful, and have some military experience.

Any idea's? I don't know much about the D&D world but want to impress him by conveying an idea using us as D&D characters. Help me out here. What creatures would we be? what items would we probably carry? what abilities would we have? I want to be able to say to him something like; "honey, you are a Level 8 giant with +3 intestinal fortitude and a cape of great fortune"
Only to impress him it has to be legit. I'm hoping I don't have to pour over thousands of D&D books to find this stuff...I'm counting on you to help me out!

Since most of your description is about character, it's hard to put a class or creature on it. So far, I'd say that your husband sounds like a warrior. Maybe a monk, except that the archetypical D&D monk isn't big and tall. Maybe a Psychic Warrior with the unarmed fighting style? They also have high Wisdom, which sounds like him. You can find the Psychic Warrior at The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org.
For you, my best bet would be a Rogue, with a military background. Maybe som Fighter levels, or the Dread Commando Prestige Class. (Heroes of Battle book.)
