📋 About This Mod


This is an adaptation of Sterling Vermin's Zephyr Class, a unique martial focused on speed, agility, and reactions. Zephyrs balance dodging and dashing across the battlefield with unleashing speedy attacks, keeping an alert eye on the battlefield to influence things. Exactly how they go about this varies dramatically on subclass, but all of them must juggle their action, bonus action, and potential extra reactions to keep themselves alive and the pressure on their foes. It's a fantasy that other classes do make stabs at -- Monks, for instance -- but I like Huffman's take on it. Besides, a Dexterity Fighter can only do so much.

Explore eight different subclasses, from the spooky Necrodancer to the sharpshooting Adamant Arrow. Mix blade and spell, fly and taunt your foes, or leap across the map halberd in hand. This class goes to level 20, but a few subclasses lack their final level 15 features. A later update should fill in these holes, but I didn't really want to hold back the release when the current class is 'complete' for base game runs. If you are going to level 20 and don't intend on multiclassing, consider using Adamant Arrow, Battle Dancer, Martial Artist, Neverlander or Weave Dancer, as they're all feature complete.

Although most subclasses are pure martials, I have both 5e Spells and Mystra's Spells support for the third-caster subclass (the Weave Dancer). I ultimately decided to add the AnimationUnlocker as a dependency, since this class -- and particularly the Martial Artist -- lean more on some Monk animations. Without it, some animations may not play, particularly on smaller races. Otherwise, please tell me if you run into any issues; this one had a lot of moving parts.

If you like any of my mods and want to show some extra support, I've set up a tip jar here:


  • []The Adamant Arrow swaps out the blades for bow and arrow, firing shot after shot and guarding areas with their unique Overwatch feature.

  • []The Battle Dancer gracefully tiptaps across the battlefield, granting advantage to their allies and disadvantage to their foes.

  • []The Dragoon leaps to the sky with their Dexterity-based jumps and halberds, stopping for the odd bout of breathing fire and acid.

  • []The Martial Artist's greatest weapon is their honed body, mixing attacks with shoves, kicks and punches.

  • []The Necrodancer communes with the dead, dealing with a shifting spell list as they swap between spirit to spirit as conduit.

  • []The Neverlander whimsically flies through the air, heckling foes with constant barrages of insults. I hope you like Vicious Mockery lines.
