Warriors Three would be 10 to 12th. Rank and file Asgardians would be around 5th.I wouldn't make them a playable race unless all the PCs were Asgardians or Asgardian equivalents. I'd use a racial to portray Asgardian superiority because it's what gives them their superheroicness and mucking around with the classes is way too much work. In the same vein, I wouldn't be putting them at levels 20+ since I'd want to keep them simple and level 21+ content is thin to say the least.This is all assuming you want Asgardians on the PC side of things. If they're NPCs or baddies, I'd just kit-bash some quick stats and call it a day. Thor-scale = modified storm giant and so on.You'd also want to make some accommodation for superheroic action with super-strength. 5e's linear Strength progression is woefully inadequate. Even someone with 30 strength can only lift a measly 900 lbs. (if memory serves). Yet giving superheroic characters 100 Strength would make putting them in combat ludicrous. You'd have to mod a bit to keep the genre conventions alive.</blockquote>
