It took us a long time to update these rules, but here they are. These updates are the fruit of multiple feedbacks and we playing three more campaigns with these rules. I'll admit I "kinda" completly forgot to update the rules here on the DM's Guild, but hey, better lat than never!
"I want to be a barbarian, but I want to trade Rage for something cool..."
There was a time that I would laugh (more) at that, but as the years passed I learned that I don't exactly like classes. You see, I understand they help new players and such, but I much prefer classes like the d20 modern ones, just a framework that you use to build your own hero.
So we created our own rules to play a classless rpg. It took us a lot of time and effort, specially playtest, going from an originally complex ruleset to something much simpler after some iterations, until we found something that we enjoyed and kept with 5e's spirit. But in the end we were pretty satisfied with the final result, so here it is for others to peruse.

Inside you'll find our rules for classless D&D 5th edition, composed of:
-Features and Quirks from all PHB classes.
-Archetypes that you can choose from any class, be it official or homebrew.
-Abilities that were changed to fit the new paradigm.
-Guidelines to allow homebrewed subclasses.
We hope these rules enrich your games as much as it did to ours.
