At first, I thought about specialized classes for wielding Keyblades, but then I realized that would lock the player(s) out of a lot of cool options to make their Keyblade wielder unique. So in this thread, I'm going to share my stats for Keyblades and Keyblade Armor, Feats for becoming a Keyblade Wielder, and special Combat feats. This became a thought when I asked if there were any kind of official plans, and was told there weren't.
If you have further suggestions/additions, I'd love to hear them. I've never homebrewed for a Pathfinder system, let alone for FFd20. I would also love some help creating Heartless and Nobody enemies.
So without further ado!
Keyblade
Exotic, One-Handed, Melee
1d8 damage, 19-20x2, Slashing or Bludgeoning (Player Choice)
-Possible Additional Properties-
Keyblades will both evolve with their wielder, and can be altered by attaching Keychains. Below are properties that can be added to a Keyblade to make it better. Ones marked with a * cannot be chosen together; when you choose one, you lock the others out. At 4th level and every 4 levels beyond, a Keyblade will gain a +1 enhancement bonus, and you can gain a single new Additional Property by changing the Keychain for the weapon (Cannot be done in combat).
*Finesse Weapon: Damage down to 1d6, becomes usable with Weapon Finesse
*Magic Weapon: Damage down to 1d6, gains a Power Staff like attack (Magic bolt of chosen element)
*Heavy: Damage up to 2d6, weapon becomes two-handed
Damage Conversion: Convert all damage the weapon deals into an Element of damage (Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, Lightning, or Water)
Alignment Crusher: When fighting someone on the opposite end of the Lawful/Chaotic axis of your Alignment, deal an additional 1d6 damage (This does not gain Crit multipliers).
Heartseeker: Crit range becomes 18-20
Heartcrusher: Critical damage becomes x3
-Keyblade Armor-
Normally obtained when learning as an apprentice under a Keyblade Master, Keyblade Armor is a special suit of magical armor that protects the wearer, both physically, and from the influence of Darkness that surrounds all Worlds in the void of space.
Keyblade Armor: Type (Medium), Armor Bonus +7, Max Dex Bonus +4, Armor Penalty -3. The Keyblade armor also provides the following benefits: +2 Circumstance bonus to Constitution, Dexterity, or Wisdom (Chosen when armor is created), +10 ft base land speed, +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls, Immune to Shadow damage
Keyblade Armor can also be summoned off the user and given simple commands. Keyblade Armor cannot fight on its own.
-Feats-
Keyblade Wielder [General]
You have the ability to summon and wield a Keyblade.
Benefit: You are proficient with Keyblades. Keyblades can be summoned and/or dismissed by their wielder as a Bonus Action. Keyblades can be disarmed, but can be re-summoned to the wielder's hand as a Bonus Action assuming the wielder isn't incapacitated. If someone else attempts to take someone's Keyblade, the Keyblade will return to its wielder's hand unless the wielder is incapacitated or has granted their blessing.
Creator's Note: Since prerequisites for becoming a Keyblade Wielder are somewhat unclear in the series, I've made it pretty easy to take this Feat.
Strike Raid [Combat]
Throwing your Keyblade will give it a boomerang effect.
Prerequisite: Proficiency with Keyblades.
Benefit: As a Standard Action, you can throw your Keyblade up to 15 ft. in a straight line; this is treated as a regular Ranged attack during the run through, but on the way back, if the target was hit, the attack comes back as a Ranged Touch attack.
Circle Raid [Combat]
You can now throw your Keyblade into a circle around you.
Prerequisite: Strike Raid
Benefit: As a Standard Action, through your Keyblade in a circle, attacking all enemies in a 10 ft. radius around you. This is treated as a Ranged attack.
Dual Keyblades [General]
You've gained the blessing of a second Keyblade Wielder, allowing you to wield their Key as well.
Prerequisite: Keyblade Wielder, blessing of a second Keyblade Wielder
Benefit: Gain a second Keyblade to wield in your off-hand. Its properties are seperate from your original.
Normal: Keyblade Wielders can only wield a single Keyblade unless they gain the blessing of a second Keyblade Wielder.
Zantetsuken [Combat]
You strike faster than the eye can see, bypassing enemy defenses and striking at their core.
Prerequisite: Keyblade Wielder, 14 Dex
Benefit: Perform a single attack as a Full Action on a target. Treat this attack as a Touch attack, and place yourself on the opposite side of the target that you were standing when completed. This can be done a total times of once per day, plus your Wisdom modifier.
If you have further suggestions/additions, I'd love to hear them. I've never homebrewed for a Pathfinder system, let alone for FFd20. I would also love some help creating Heartless and Nobody enemies.
