Poison Bomb - This grenade does poison damage to
The Mad Bomber
(Rogue Subclass)
Boom
Mad bombers are part mage, part tinker, all trouble. The
magic they create is explosives. They often have no actual
mechanical talent and the things with which they construct
their bombs shouldn't work. Often it's simply dirt, debris, and
whatever they find on the ground. A smoke bomb might be a
ball of leaves. A shrapnel bomb might look like a ball of mud
with rocks and nails stuck into it.
Their madness is the source of their power, willing the
materials to release their deadly might.
Mad Bombing
At 3rd Level level, the Mad bomber learns how to make
explosives from whatever they have on hand. These
explosives are magical, tied to the will of the Rogue who
created them. They are inert for anyone else, including
another Mad Bomber.
They are detonated as a bonus action; undetonated bombs
may be retrieved and used at a later time. Unless otherwise
noted, they do damage equal to the Rogues Sneak Attack
damage. A Mad Bomber must be in 120' of one of their
bombs to detonate it.
Some bombs require a saving throw from the target. The
save DC is calculated using this formula:
8 + Intelligence Modifier + Proficency Bonus
Mad Bombers are proficent with their bombs (and later,
their grenades). Unless otherwise noted, bombs have a range
of 20' (no long range). If the bomb misses it's target, the DM
should decide where it goes.
A mad bomber may make one bomb during a long or short
rest. They may have no more active bombs than their
Intelligence modifier (at least 1). They also start off knowing
1 + their intellegence modifer types of bombs. If they make
more, the oldest bomb goes inert and crumbles.
The sorts of bombs a Mad Bomber may make include:
Explosive Bomb - This bomb does Thunder damage to
anyone within 5' of it. Targets may make a Dexterity save.
If they are successful, they take half damage.
Concussion Bomb - This grenade does bludgeoning
damage to anyone within 5' of it. This bomb does 1d6 less
damage. Affected enemies must make a Constitution save.
If they are Large or smaller and fail the save, they are
moved 5' away from the bomb and knocked prone.
Fire Bomb - This grenade does fire damage to anyone
within 5'. This bomb does 1d6 less damage. Affected
enemies must make a Dexterity saving throw. If they fail,
they take 1d6 at the beginning of their turn. They may
make an additional Dexterity save on each of their turns to
end this effect.
Flash Bomb - This grenade does no damage, but anyone
within 10' must make a Wisdom save. If they fail, they are
Blinded and Deafened for until the end fo their next turn.
If the targets have Sunlight Sensitivity, the make the
saving throw at disadvantage
anyone within 5' of it. This bomb does 1d6 less damage.
Targets must make a Constitution saving throw. If they fail,
they are Poisoned until the end of their next turn.
Smoke Bomb - This creates a 15''x15' cloud of smoke.
The smoke provides full cover.
Sticky Bomb - This grenade coats a 5' radius area with an
adhesive that counts as difficult terrain. Anyone who
crosses through the area, or who begins or ends their turn
standing on it, must make a Strength save. If they fail,
their walking speed is reduced to 0 until the end of their
turn. The goo disapates after 3 turns.
Grenades
At 9th level, the mad bomber may make three grenades in
place of one active bomb. These grenades have the same
effect, but do two fewer d6's in damage than their bomb
counterparts and may be thrown as a weapon up to 30'/90'.
They trigger on contact after being thrown.
Explosive Leap
At 9th level, the Mad Bomber may Detonate one bomb or
grenade they're holding to propel them over a distance. They
take no damage from the explosion.
If they use a bomb, the disatance is up to 30'. If they use a
grenade, it is up 15'.
Expert Mayhem
At 13th level, the Mad Bomber's talents improve.
They may keep three additional bombs active.
They may also make three on a short or long rest.
The Mad Bomber may detonate one bomb as a reaction.
Boom-meister
The Mad Bomber's abilities and madness are both at their
peak.
You may throw one grenade as a bonus action.
Grenades only do one less d6 in damage.
They may throw their bombs up to 40'
Grenades now have a range of 60'/120'
