D&D (2024) replacing Constitution with Energy

[le Redoutable]

I was using a system called GAYCOP ( in french , translated to COYTWA )

with
Creator
Orator
Yoghi
Thinker
Warrior
Acrobat

the problem was that Yoghi should refer to Energy and in D&D there was only CON to get compatible;
so, I relabelled the six Paths ( COYTWA ) to their equivalent in D&D,
and, by pure geniousness I converted CON to Energy;

because we marry two stats to produce a Class,
Energy can be used with 5 stats,
that will create 5 spellcasting classes :

IxE : Magic-User
CxE : Bard
ExW : Priest
ExS : Druid ( ?? )
ExD : Illusionist

COYTWA
ICEWSD

Intelligence <== Creator
Charisma <== Orator
Energy <== Yoghi
Wisdom <== Thinker
Strength <== Warrior
Dexterity <== Acrobat

• IxC Hunter
• IxE Magic-User
• IxW Ruler
• IxS Cook
• IxD Ranger
• CxE Bard
• CxW Merchant
• CxS Paladin
• CxD Ninja
• ExW Priest
• ExS Druid
• ExD Illusionist
• WxS Brute
• WxD Monk
• SxD Champion

oh! isn't there a type mismatch in between
ExW ===> Druid
ExS ===> Cleric ( instead of Priest )
???

... and isn't the Cleric some sort of a Necromancer , with reference à la Hokuto Kenshiro ( Ken le Survivant ) , as in the Movie " Fist Of The North Star " ?

then,,, ( again importing resources from AD&D 1st Ed ) aren't Assassins a sub-branch of Necromancers ?
( again, Hokuto Kenshiro has an Assassin background )

obviously, if you had to note 15 classes to your Character Sheet, it would require at least 15 pages
but, that could be achieved as a Video Game ...

merging these two classes, and converting Clerics to Necromancers...

material here comes from the movie " Fist Of The North Star " , with Hokuto Kenshiro, who works for the guild of Assassins and is confronted in the movie to an Undead, while demonstrating ( just like in the manga ) attracks to Vital Spots, but also cure blindness and flurry of blows

using Energy, you can recall the five spell-caster classes

I x E ===>Magic-User
C x E ===> Bard
ExW ===> Druid
ExS ===> Necromancer ( in lieu of Clerics, because Necromancers touch Vital Spots, just like Assassins )
ExD ===> Illusionist

I ===> Intelligence
C ===> Charisma
E ===> Energy ( in lieu of CON )
W ===> Wisdom
S ===> Strength
D ===> Dexterity

I think your stretching with druids and necromancers.

Welcome to the boards. I seem to understand what you are explaining as similar to Magic, the Gathering with the 5 colors and combining 2 of them to get a class. A necromance can be black and red, while a druid is green and white or something. But you are using the D&D stats for this. Seems like it can work.

Ok, you say "original" - what do you mean by original?
