Just A Slight Varient[edit]

Wanted a duel wielding varient of the keyblade master

Keyblade Master[edit]

All living things are made up of three parts, a body, a heart, and a soul. It is in fact common for these parts to split and reform. The heart and soul can be removed from the body by processes like astral projection, and death. Bodies themselves are not very important. It is when the heart and the soul are separated from one another that things become problematic.

The nature of the soul is to give life and animate. When a soul is left alone it will seek out a body and bring to life an incomplete creature. Creating a Nobody.

The nature of the heart is to connect. When a Heart is left alone it will seek out other hearts to bond with. Because hearts are containers for light and darkness, this can sometimes result in a keyblade.

Keyblades are created from light, darkness, and the hearts of living creatures. They are extrodinary weapons capable of granting great power to their wielder and objects of great magical power allowing the unlocking of many things. Because Keyblades are made from hearts they desire to connect with the hearts of other living things and are slightly sentient.


Keyblade Masters are a rare breed almost always driven to the life of adventure, though some do retire. They are chosen by the Keyblade a powerful artifact and living entity deeply connected to all worlds. Some eventually learn to use the keyblade to create portals to entire new worlds beyond the planes. Keyblade masters rarely know why they are chosen and will thus usually adventure to explore the world or worlds looking for their purpose all the while shaping it with their deeds. No one really understands how the keyblade picks its chosen or it’s true motivation.

Creating a Keyblade Master[edit]

When making a Keyblade Master, Dexterity or Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Charisma.

Key[edit]

Unbreakable: The item can't be broken. Special means must be used to destroy it I.E. magic being used to destroy it, godly interference, ect.

The Keyblades are a magic weapon. Any creature attuned to the keyblades are considered proficient with it. These are the abilities of the Keybearer class.

Starting at first level, You can summon 2 Keyblades. If you do not already have one attuned to you, spend a long rest in a dream state. What happens in this dream state is up to the DM.

You can have a number of keyblades equal to your CHA MOD ×3, and can change them as a bonus action. The keyblades can be summoned to an attuned user's hand as a free action. For an opposing creature to hold a keyblade, their wisdom score has to be higher than yours. If a creature is holding the Keyblade the wielder can use an action to start an opposed charisma check. The winner of this check gain or retains control of The Keyblade. The Keyblades can also be dismissed to a pocket dimension as a free action.


The magic of this weapon is unaffected by spells such as antimagic field and it's magic can not be removed. The spells of a keyblades user are still affected as normal.

The Keyblade Master can cast Arcane Lock at will as a free action once per long rest. The user of The Keyblade can open or lock any object. An object locked with the Keyblade can only be unlocked by other keyblades, Dispel Magic, or the Wish spell.

The keys deal base damage listed on top of damage listed on key

Ability Points[edit]

Ability points are what keybearers use for their limit abilities. Each Limit has a cost of AP (ability points) and each have different effects, but are all offensive. Use them wisely, for they can manipulate the battlefield more than you know. Keybearers are either strategic fighters, or full on brutal warriors. At the end of every long rest, you regain all your AP back, half on a short rest rounded up.

Keyblade Transformations[edit]

When you would make 3 successful attacks on a creature, you can go into an alternative form as a bonus action giving your clothing the same color as your keyblade. While in this form, you deal an additional +5 to damage rolls with your Keyblade. The form ends after 6 turns at which point you will turn back to your normal form without injuring yourself or others around you. At 8th level you can undergo a second transformation in addition to your first as a bonus action which lasts only 3 turns. When in the 2nd transformation, your movement speed increases by 20ft and your attacks have advantage.

When your form disengages, all creatures with 30ft of your position must make a dexterity saving throw.

Once per long rest, you can spend 5 AP to take an item that you have acquired and turn it into a keychain for your keyblade.

Stun-Impact[edit]

Shotlock[edit]

At 5th level, you can concentrate with all your might to either act offensively or defensively. As an action, you can focus on a creature within 60ft of your position and take the dash action (airstep) to get to their position as a small orb of light/darkness. Alternatively, as a bonus action, you can initiate a shotlock attack. The attack does 3d10 damage (depending on your subclass). You can only use the shotlock command 4 times per long rest. Do note, when you move, this does not provoke an attack of opportunity. If the target creature is not watching when you do this or is currently incapacitated, you may initiate an attack of opportunity.

High Jump[edit]

When you reach 6th level, you can now use magic to increase your physical abilities aside from fighting. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 AP to jump 30'.

Combo Plus[edit]

Once you reach the 6th level, you can continue a combo attack that you are locked in. Using 2 AP to hit once again, you are able to use your Keyblade to give your enemy another blunt smack with your Keyblade. You can use this once at 6th level, twice at 10th level, three times at 14th level, and four times at 18th level. At 20th level, you can make this feat cost no AP once per long rest. This is treated as a bonus action. The feat's AP cost increases by 1 per use (up to 5 uses per creature)

Friend Summon[edit]

Using your bonds, your allies aid you in battle. Starting when you reach 6th level, three times per long rest, you can use any crown card you have to summon your friends to the fight. They stay for the duration of the battle, or until they are knocked unconscious. If they are knocked unconscious, they disappear immediately.


Strike Raid[edit]

No enemy can escape your wrath no matter how far they run thanks to the knowledge of Strike Raid.

At 7th level, you can use the Strike Raid technique. As a bonus action, by spending 3 AP you can make a ranged throw with your Keyblade on a creature up to 60ft in front of you dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage upon which, your Keyblade returns to your hand. On a successful hit, the Combo Plus Feature can be added to make additional ranged attacks.

Drive Forms[edit]

Starting at 7th level, you have access to Drive forms.

These are your inner light and darkness manifesting themselves to aid you in combat. You can spend 4 MP to go into 1 of these Drive Forms as a bonus action. The form ends after 2 turns or ends prematurely if you haven't attacked, cast a spell, or if you are knocked unconscious. You can also choose to end your drive form as a bonus action. You can extend the time limit of your current drive form by spending 2 AP. When you go into a drive form (exception of Limit and Anti forms) you roll 1d100. The success rate starts at 100 and decreases by 10 every successful drive change. If you roll under the success rate (For example if the success rate is 50 and you roll a 40) you are forcefully put into Anti form for the duration of your drive form timer and cannot prematurely end it. If you are forced into Anti form, the success rate resets to 100. If drive form Final is chosen, the success rate is instead 50 always. Also, willingly going into Anti form does not reset the success rate.


Anti Form[edit]

When you go into this form, your Keyblade disappears and you are left with swift melee attacks Healing items and spells have no effect Movement speed is doubled Attacks only deal 1d4 non magical slashing damage If an attack is successful, the attack keeps going (no AP used) until a failed attempt, upon which, the opposing creature get's an attack of opportunity with advantage.
