Below is a (conspicuously incomplete) 5e conversion of my frankenstein glog class, in a sort of inverted deusian mode.I'm not sure what I'll use it for; sometimes my projects serve no one, not even myself. Design discussion below. The first and most obvious hurdle when converting to 5e is the class length. GLOG classes have, for the most part, four abilities. The 5e barbarian has 16, 20 if you count the subclasses separately. Filling 20 levels takes a lot of text! (you can see I'm still four abilities short of a full set) I knew I wanted the frankenstein to be some kind of tank, so I used the barbarian as a base. Setting aside subclasses, the 5e martials mostly follow this pattern:important mechanic at level 1 and 2 (rage! reckless attack!)level 3 subclass abilitylevel 5 extra attacklevel <11 third fun mechanic (brutal critical!)some late game upgrades to previous abilities bunch o cruft to smooth out the combat mathsidebar: I rarely write "balanced" classes, but I know it's important…
