So I'm Currently running a Kingdom Hearts Themed Campaign with some friends, and I decided to homebrew some Feats and the way Keyblades could work in FFD20.
On the Keyblade side of things I drew some inspiration from Cheezez earlier work on this sort of thing: http://forums.finalfantasyd20.com/showth...dom+Hearts
I also wrote a number of Accompanying Feats, including Combat Style feats designed to mimic some of the Command Styles found in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.
I'd love to hear what you guys think of it, so I'm posting it here:
Keyblade Stats:
Standard Keyblade (1 Handed, Exotic Weapon)
Melee 1d10, 19-20/x2, Slashing or Bludgeoning (User’s Choice)
Can be treated as a martial weapon when wielded with two hands.
Keychain Base Cost: TBD
Power Keyblade (2 Handed, Exotic Weapon)
Melee 2d6, 19-20/x2, Slashing or Bludgeoning (User’s Choice)
Keychain Base Cost: TBD
Finesse Keyblade (1 Handed, Exotic Weapon)
Melee 1d6, 19-20/x2, Slashing or Bludgeoning (User’s Choice)
Is treated as a light weapon for the purposes of feats like Two-Weapon Fighting.
Keychain Base Cost: TBD
Magic Keyblade (1 Handed, Exotic Weapon)
Ranged (30ft.) 1d6, x2, Elemental Damage or Non-Elemental Damage
Keychain Base Cost: TBD
Special Qualities of Keyblades:
When you gain the ability to wield a keyblade, you choose its base form from the Keyblade Types listed above. That becomes the form it will take when no keychains are attached to it.
After acquiring a keyblade, you automatically gain Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Keyblade) on your next level up.
Keychains:
Keychains are special attachments for keyblades that alter their form and properties. Keychains always have a default keyblade form, selected from those listed above. They can be enchanted in the same way as a masterwork weapon. They also imbue the keyblade with the qualities of the material they are made from, if they are made from any special materials.
When a Keychain is attached to a Keyblade, that keyblade takes on the default form of the Keychain, and gains its enchantments.
Keychains can be crafted using the same prices used for weapon crafting.
Feats:
Synch Blade (Combat)
Prerequisites: Two-Weapon Fighting, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Keyblade)
You have learned to call forth a second keyblade, and wield it in your off-hand effectively.
Benefit: You may call a second keyblade to your off-hand. You may equip a keychain to your offhand keyblade, but it cannot be the same keychain you use for your main keyblade. You may transform your off-hand keyblade using the Unlock Transformation feat.
Spellweaver (Combat, Fighting Style)
Prerequisites: Int 15 or Wis 15, MP Pool
You have learned the basics of Spellweaver, a command style that blends magic with martial prowess.
Benefit: You can spend 1 MP to fire an energy bolt from your weapon while making an attack. This bolt deals your weapon’s damage, and hits all targets in a 15ft. line in front of you. This attack counts as one of your attacks this round.
Spellweaver: Magic Melee (Combat, Fighting Style)
Prerequisites: Spellweaver (Combat), Int or Wis 17
Your proficiency with Spellweaver allows you to command your melee weapons from a distance.
Benefit: You can spend 1 MP to attack an enemy within 20ft. as if they were within melee range. When you do this, you deal an additional 1d4 Non-Elemental Damage.
Spellweaver: Finale (Combat, Fighting Style)
Prerequisites: Spellweaver: Magic Melee (Combat)
Your mastery of Spellweaver allows you to end a combo with an area blast of magical energy.
Benefit: You can spend 3 MP to replace the final attack you make in a full attack action with an AOE Explosion. When you do this, deal 2d6+Int or 2d6+Wis Non-Elemental Damage to all targets within 5ft. of you.
Fever Pitch (Combat, Fighting Style)
Prerequisites: Dex 17
You have learned the basics of Fever Pitch, a High-Speed Command Style that allows you to strike with incredible speed.

Your proficiency with Fever Pitch allows you to traverse the battlefield at a tremendous pace. While using this fighting style you gain a bonus 10ft. of Land Speed.
Fever Pitch: Tri-Slash (Combat: Fighting Style)
Prerequisites: Fever Pitch: Dash
Your Mastery of Fever Pitch allows you to strike through an entire line of foes.
Benefit: As an attack action, you may deal damage to all enemies in a 20ft. line starting at your current position, and then move yourself to the other end of that line (if the final space is occupied, instead move to the closest available space that is part of the line). This movement does not provoke an attack of Opportunity.
Ghost Drive (Combat, Fighting Style)
Prerequisites: Int 15 or Wis 15, MP Pool
You have learned the basics of Ghost Drive, a Lightning Fast command Style that utilises magic to greatly boost attack speed.
Benefit: You may spend 1 MP to perform an extra attack at your full BaB as part of an attack action. You may only use this ability once per turn.

Dark Impulse: Shadow Step (Combat, Fighting Style)
Prerequisites: Str or Con 17, Dark Impulse (Combat)
Your Proficiency with Dark Impulse allows you to use darkness to traverse short distances instantly.
Benefit: While in Dark Mode, you may use your move action to instantly disappear and emerge from any shadow within 30ft. This becomes 60ft. at level 15. This provokes an attack of opportunity if you disappear within melee range of someone who knows you can do this.
