Long story short, a species of Zerg-esque creatures (inspiration taken from Tyranid, and EVOLVE's monsters also) populate my campaign world. They are sentient and have an Alliance with one of the drow cultures (the game has 3 dark elf cultures, and some humans). So on the GitP forums I saw someone made a Zerg class for DnD 3.5. I run DnD 5e, so I've begun to convert it over to 5e, and I'd like some input on a few decisions. First off, here's a link to the google docs: docs.google.com/document/d/1OHp4X4wOyf0g_tv69Q3yJBFHijeev3lFm3JjLx8_J1Q/edit (Culltural info included) Now. One of the things I am debating is Extra Attack class feature. It's a very 'build it yourself' monster class, but it's not exactly a spell caster, and most non-spell caster classes get the Extra Attack feature. However, I could make it a Mutation. This, however, feels to me like a 'feat tax' situation for the class, and I am wary of it. This, however, depends on if I decide to add sub-classes. Which is the real stickler here. The Zerg, and my race, do conceptually have 'castes' like many insects, but I feel the ever-shifting, evolving nature I want to evoke speaks against having set sub-classes. However, this may come mostly from my inability to come up with some good sub-classes for them. (Any ideas?) more than from a legitimate reason to not have them. Also, I do not think any 5E class is without a subtype/archetype to there name. In closing, most of this is not converted over, but enough is where I think I can show my initial thoughts to others and gather some ideas, so I don't have to rewrite the entire thing at a later stage.

Found it, while not a class, these may help with mechanic ideas and get your creative dm juices flowing. 5e Zerg Album
