"See. Zoomer."
- Maxine "Mad Max" Mayfield
Stranger Things 2 is out and many of you may have binge watched it all by now. We just finished this past weekend and thought it was just as good as season 1. The newest character introduced is Maxine "Mad Max" Mayfield a new girl from California. When the boys digress into D&D talk, she makes the statement that she could be a "Zoomer", which gets the predictable results from a bunch of middle schoolers in 1984.
Well, I thought that a Zoomer could totally be a thing.
So here is a Zoomer Rogue Archetype for D&D 5.
ZOOMER
In this world, you have learned there are two types; the quick and the dead. You prefer not to be among the dead. So speed is not just what you do, it is what you are. Get in fast, attack fast and get out fast. Live another day.
QUICK ATTACK
Starting at 3rd level, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to make an extra attack. Strength bonuses do not apply since you are compromising power for speed.
FAST ON YOUR FEET
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to move faster than normal; Your base speed increases by 50%. So characters that move at 30 ft can now move at 45 ft. Terrain that slows down other characters will still affect you, but based on your new movement rate.
UPPER HAND
At 9th level, you may add +5 to your initiative rolls.
BLUR
Starting at 13th level, you move at twice your base speed. Sneak attacks must still be made at normal movement speed; which is half speed for you.
FASTER THAN THE WIND
When you reach 17th level, you can attack three times per round. These extra attacks ignore any bonuses due to strength.
Obviously, I have not playtested this, but I think it could work out nicely.
What do you think Max?
