Thanks for linking!
My version is like the real game actually. I think it would be very interesting to port it to other formats, though. I’m confident the story of Duelyst has a lot more potential than what it is used for at the moment. So glad to see people trying to expand it at least a little

I’d like to dive into the mechanics a little.
Assuming all PCs are generals and you are trying to use D&D 5e, they would obviously be a magic class. So their bloodborne spells would function as cantrips.
It makes sense that the rest of their spells would be available to them based on their factions. So if you chose to be a Songhai general, you would only have Songhai spells available to you. In most cases, the spell level could correlate to mana cost.
The only exceptions to the mana cost- spell level correlation would have to be the legendary spells. We would need to find some kind of limitation. Maybe we can say the PC must find certain components or only be able to cast it once per day or must use multiple spell slots.
Alternatively, all the pcs are different characters but become bloodborns at high levels, theu aren’t neccesarily minions but instead just normal people of certian races.

So I’ve reviewed the lore and it has revealed some possibilities for potential classes. In Chapter Six: The First Empire, It describes seven branched of disciplines which could be used as classes. Though taking the vague descriptions and building full classes might prove to be labor intensive. But then again, many hands make light work.
The other possibility to make everyone start as a Chakri Avatar (since they eventually turn into the bloodborn generals), but that could create unwanted limitations.
