Heck, the 5e SF hack Esper Genesis built its engineer class on the cleric chassis. I don't always like such direct translations, much as I didn't care as much for the 3e products that were more "D&D lightly painted with another genre" rather than really fitting the new setting, but they do not break the laws of logic.Nor do I understand, to address a different poster's complaint about incoherence, how the world suddenly stops being coherent if things inspired by Iron Man or the Death Star* show up in a D&D campaign. If you would never do it or find it cringe, that's one thing, but concepts like "coherence" and "making sense" should probably have a more objective foundation than just "I don't like it."* Or, in a particularly gonzo/multiversal game, Tony Stark and the DS-1 themselves. I've read the very famous storyline in which Iron Man and Dr. Doom get cast back to Arthurian times, and D&D has had visiting space vessels since "Temple of the Frog." I can understand a "coherence" complaint there as to theme and mood, if you want a particular flavor to your game, but such things can obviously fit in someone's D&D game.</blockquote>
