Empty Being[edit]
Racial Class[edit]
To choose this class, you must be either the Heartless Race, or the Nobody Race. You can multi class out of this class, but can only multi class into it if you already are, or otherwise become a Heartless or Nobody.
Empty Beings[edit]
Empty Beings are creatures born of Darkness that typically have no soul. They cannot feel emotions, at least not fully, and are more prone to use cunning, logic, and trickery. While not necessarily evil, they don't tend to have an issue playing dirty, and while they cannot fully feel emotions, they can learn to understand them, at least enough to manipulate them.
Creating a Empty Being[edit]
As you build your Empty Being, here are questions to consider. How did you become an empty being? Did you give up your soul willingly or was it stolen from you? What was your life like before losing your soul? Why is your dark weapon what it is? Perhaps it resembles something you loved back when you still had your soul or maybe it is a subconscious desire that you never knew you had? Do you desire to get your soul back? If so why? Or if not, then why not?
- Quick Build
You can make a Empty Being quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. Second, choose the Charlaten background. Third, Explorer's Pack. Weapons won't matter since you will likely be using your dark weapon as your main weapon.

Dark Magic[edit]
Your dark origin bestows magic on you and gives you facility with spells.
Cantrips[edit]
You know two cantrips of your choice from the Keyblade spell list. You learn additional Keyblade cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Heartless table.
Spell Slots[edit]
The Empty Being table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is, all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Empty Being spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are a 5th level Empty Being, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell Witch Bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd level spell.
Preparing And Casting Spells[edit]
You prepare the list of Empty Being Spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Keyblade spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Empty Being Spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Empty Being level, rounded up (minimum of one spell). The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.
For example, if you are a 4th-level Empty Being, and have 2 2nd level Spell Slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared Spells can include seven Spells of 1st or 2nd Level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared Spells. You can change your list of prepared Spells when you finish a Long Rest. Preparing a new list of Keyblade Spells requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per Spell Level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability[edit]
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Empty Being spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

You can't cast spells or concentrate on them while raging.
Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.
You can rage a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you complete a long rest.
- Reckless Attack
Starting at 1st level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
- Mindless Rage
Beginning at 6th level, you can’t be charmed or frightened while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is suspended for the duration of the rage.
- Relentless Rage
Starting at 10th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points while you're raging and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Charisma saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.
Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.
- Persistent Rage
Beginning at 14th level, your rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.
- Primal Champion
At 20th level, you embody the power of the wilds. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.
