Take the Historian feet and use it to tell stories about how things were back in your days and help people at the same time.

Fighter.
If you see a fighter with greying hair, you know not to mess with him. Anyone who has managed to live that long in such a deadly profession is either very smart or very dangerous.

So, he needs Dex, Con, Int, and now Wis...
Right. Well, you did say Grumpy, not Wise.

Re: What class would make for a grumpy old man.
Grumpy? A dwarf, obviously, and he got Grumpier once Snow White married that Prince and ran off to happily ever after. "No who will make pies and take care of us, did any of you think about that when you were helping her find true love? I Didn't Think So!" *Grumps about*
Yeah. That's a good answer, and it gets my vote.

I know it's not 5e, but this is my suggestion: The curmudgeon class from the Land of Nod and Blood & Treasure.

With one exception, I play AL games only nowdays.
I am the eternal Iconoclast.

Re: What class would make for a grumpy old man.
Super glad to have you aboard the Forum ZorroGames!
FWIW, I (just barely played) D&D in the 1970's with a DM who used "white box" (and Greyhawk, and Blackmoor, etc.), but by the time I played the AD&D Monster Manual was already out and in use, so I didn't get to play OD&D "undiluted.
My hats off to you.
(also thanks again Ninja_Prawn)

Re: What class would make for a grumpy old man.
Tomelocks can do it too (You could blast people all day, but this is more fun. And you can do it tied up). Though Lore's cutting words fit nicely. Pick up Inspiring Leader to insult people into temp hp.
My vote: Undying Warlock. In time, those young whipper-snappers will start to include greybearded Dwarves and Dragons... Go Tome for the original rules (ritual) book, vicious mockery, and the ability for a scrawny old man to threaten everyone with his cane (shillelagh).
Racewise, I prefer gnomes or halflings, as their grumpiness is more atypical, and they invoke the Miniature Senior Citizens trope.

Re: What class would make for a grumpy old man.
I'd go with the UA Bard College of Whispers, just for the Venomous Words feature.
Creating fear and paranoia for an hour just by talking to someone is the epitome of a cranky old man.HEY, WTF HAPPENED TO MY AVATAR?
