While I was lurking I noticed a Lego class that never really got finished so, well I decided to finish it.
Taking what I remember from skimming the class and adding my own spin I have the Lego Engineer, a class able to create an entire world if given time (well mostly, more likely a team of them can do it)
Version 1.0: Missing most of the feats, a bunch of class features and the Construction rules are being redone cause I totally messed them up



Lego Engineer

"It's alive! Kind of...to a certain definition of life"

The Lego Engineer is the class of Life, The Universe and Everything.
Using the building blocks of life they can create everything from a Tiny Minifig minion to a Castle Wall harder than steel. Construction and Deconstruction, Creation and Destruction.

Adventures: An Engineer might adventure for access to strange and new Bricks or new ways of construction and demolition. See PhB Wizard for more.

Characteristics: The Engineer is a sideline class, it serves to Buff and Minionmance.

Alignment: While an Engineer can be of any alignment they tend towards Law due to the study of the Universe and the laws of such

Religion: An Engineer rarely venerates deities religiously, though most acknowledge they are much more powerful than themselves. Some of the higher-levelled Lego Engineers have been known to ask "What makes them so different to us? We create life too"

Background: Becoming an Engineer is the same as becoming a Wizard, albeit in an Engineer-Focused college rather than an Arcana-focus

Races: Any race could become a Lego Engineer though Humans, Elves and civilized races with an education system produce them more often than others

Other Classes: An Engineer gets along with a Wizard quite well, seeing them as Scientists like them studying the universe just a different aspect.
Frontline combatants are generally considered necessary to the adventuring life but rather dumb to willingly get in the path of a weapon instead of sending in dumber people to do it while they hang back out of harms way
Sorcerers are considered lazy, falling into power without needing to work for it, though the disdain isnt as much as a Wizard's dislike
Other classes as Wizard

Role: Similar in role to the Artificer and Dread necromancer.
While it could potentially serve as a Debuffer or a frontline tank using its abilities they get more bang for their buck handing them to their minions or party members to wield

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: All Simple Weapons, all weapons made of Lego. Light Armour

Construction (Ex): At levels 1, 5, 10 and 15 pick any Feat with the (Construction) tag you qualify for

Brick-Laying I (Ex): A Lego Engineer learns the beginnings of his craft. Now able to put down Basic Bricks (further information on Brick types in the Creations section down below)

Destruction (Ex): At levels 2, 6, 11 and 16 pick any Feat with the (Destruction) tag you qualify for

Minifig Construction (Ex): You are now capable of making Diminuitive-sized Minifigs and the Tier1 Upgrades for them

Brick Reclamation (Ex): You may deconstruct Basic Bricks from any object you Control. This takes 1 round per Brick and immediately cancels the upgrade or object it is a part of.

Co-Opt (Su): This abiity gives you the chance to co-opt another Engineer's creations. Taking 1 minute and rolling Disable Device against the Craft Check made to create the object you can become the Controller of the item (meaning you can command the Minifigs, Reclaim bricks in them etc.)
If you succeed the new DC to take control is the Disable Device roll you used to take control.
If you fail the object remains under the control of the current Controller and you are unable to co-opt it for 24 hours however you get a +1 to Disable Device checks to co-opt it

Brick-Laying II (Ex): With this ability you begin to expand past the norm, creating new kinds of Bricks with which to utilize
Choose 2 of the following Brick types to be able to lay into an Object:
Humanoid Bricks: Gathered from the corpse of a Humanoid (1/HD, destroys the corpse if all Bricks are harvested) they give the benefits of the Humanoid type and racial modifiers of any 1 Humanoid non-templated creature to a Minifig built with at least 1 Humanoid Brick replacing a Basic Brick (not if specified Humanoid bricks are in an upgrade or if another Type brick is there like Abberant or Outsider).
Vermin Bricks: Gathered from a full meal left uneaten for 3 or more days, generating 1 Vermin brick /day since left out or last harvested. Vermin Bricks if used to replace 1 or more Basic Bricks in a Minifig grant the benefits of the Vermin Type and either +2 Dex or the Scent quality
Construct Bricks: Gathered by combining 9 Basic Bricks and any Non-basic brick together in 1 minute. Counts as 2 Bricks when used in Construction.
Can be applied as a Construct Brick counting as only 1 Brick to a minifig to grant the abilities of the Construct Type and +2 Strength OR use Intelligence for extra HP instead of CON
Animal Bricks: Gathered from the eggs of an egg-laying animal or magical animal (1 per egg, destroys the egg in the process). Can be used to add Magical beast traits and INT +2 or the ability to saddle and use as a mount without penalty

Brick-Laying III (Ex): Expanding your repertoire further you begin to learn. More bricks opening up to you, to create.
Select two from this list or any from the previous brick-Laying you haven't already selected:
Ooze Bricks: Gathered from the corpse of an Ooze-type creature (1/2HD, the corpse is destroyed if all bricks are harvested). Applying one in place of a Basic Brick in a Minifig grants it the Ooze type and traits (though they maintain an Int score) as well as +2 Dex or +2 Con
Advanced Bricks: Formed by combining 10 basic Bricks together in 1 minute. Mostly used for upgraded capacities and the HD of Minifigs. Cannot be used in place of basic Bricks but can turn back into 10 basic Bricks in 1 minute deconstruction time.
Abberant Type: Gathered either by harvesting from a corpse (1/2HD, the corpse is destroyed if all bricks are harvested) OR by combining 5 Humanoid bricks and 5 Construct Bricks. If used in place of a basic Brick on a Minifig it gains the traits of an Abberant and either +2Cha OR +2 Wis
Dragon bricks: Gathered by harvesting Dragon Eggs (2 per egg). Applying one in place of a basic Brick on a Minifig the Minfig becomes a True Dragon and gains all the traits of being a Dragon-Type



The Ultimate Brick (Su): With this ability you gain access to the Ultimate form of Lego Brick. The Soul Brick is now gatherable and usable in your creation.
The use of any Soul brick in a Minifig grants them True Life. They gain a soul and autonomy, capable of gaining XP, levelling up and reproducing but are under no control by the creator (though they start at Friendly). They need not be upgraded in any way to gain levels.
Souled Minifigs can be resurrected using normal magic but may not be reformed
Gathering a Soul brick can be done on any corpse or in the same square as an Outsider, provided the corpse or outsider died within 1 round/level. 1 Soul brick is generated /20HD (round up, 19HD gives 1 Soul brick, 21HD gives 2)


Feats:
Reclaim the Placed (Deconstructor)
requires: Brick Reclamation
You can reclaim any Brick you can lay down from an object you Control
Normal: Only Basic bricks may be reclaimed

Destroy the Soulless (Deconstructor)
requires: Minifig construction
Knowing how to create, it takes little to learn how to destroy. Add your Int Mod *2 to all damage rolls against Minifigs that don't have a Soul brick

Personalizing the Equipment (Constructor)
requires: Brick-Laying I
When creating a wielded weapon or piece of armour spend an extra 10 Bricks to personalize the creation to a specific person. That person gains a +1AC if it's armour, +1 To-Hit if it's a weapon. If someone not that person attempts to use it they take -1 AC or -1 To-Hit (depending on Armour or Weapon)

Making to type (Constructor)
requires: Brick-Laying II
When creating a piece of armour or a held weapon spend an extra 10 bricks, 1 of which must be the selected type, to make the weapon or armour more effective in the hands of that type and less effective in the hands of another.
+1 To-Hit or AC (depending on weapon or armour) if the user is of the appropriate type, otherwise -1. This stacks with Personalizing the Equipment
