Not on a 1:1 ratio. It's fine to be inspired by the father of all mad scientists, but the old Victor is almost a perfect match for the classic doctor, right down to same first name and rhyming last name. The story of Victor and Adam reads like a truncated version of Shelly's novel mixed with the Universal movie with the names changed slightly. (And honestly, they are so close that you could have just used Frankenstein, they're not under copyright).I'm very happy that WotC is trying to move away from nameswapped classic monster movie plots as domains and opting to explore the genres in different ways. Vikta isn't a stand in for Victor Frankenstein, she's inspired by all manner of mad scientist movies. That's a far more interesting use of the domain than just replaying the end of Frankenstein as a domain.</blockquote>
