Nullblade Variant: Champion of the VoidSome
Nullblades fixate on ways to end lives as the most elegant implementation of Null. These characters give up some of their magical versatility, learning Bladecraft instead.
Class Skills: Add Bladecraft to the Champion of the Void's class skill list.
Class FeaturesThe Champion of the Void has all of the standard Nullblade class features, except as noted below.
Invocations: A Champion of the Void does not learn invocations, and does not gain the Lesser Invocations, Greater Invocations, or Void Invocations class features at 6th, 11th, or 16th levels, respectively.
Null Blade: A Champion of the Void gains the
Null Blade feat as a bonus feat at 1st level, even if he does not meet the prerequisites. He may make a Voidstrike with any weapon he wields while in a Form or while using an Assault or Parry technique, even if he does not have the Weapon Focus feat for that weapon.
Nullify (Ex): A Champion of the Void can nullify blade techniques in the same way that he can nullify martial maneuvers, by identifying a technique with Bladecraft, and opposed by an attack roll.
Touch of the Void (Ex): A Champion of the Void can use the extra immediate actions granted by his Touch of the Void class feature to use Parry techniques.
Improved Voidstrike: A Champion of the Void does not gain the Improved Voidstrike class feature.
Voidcraft: Upon reaching 9th level, a Champion of the Void infuses any weapons and armor he wields with the essence of his craft. He automatically treats any weapon, armor, or shield he uses as if it were
Nullcraft.
Greater Voidstrike: A Champion of the Void does not gain the Greater Voidstrike class feature.
Voidblade (Ex): At 17th level, as long as a Champion of the Void has at least 12 ranks in Bladecraft, his voidstrike deals Bladecraft Dice instead of d4s (or d6s) whenever he is in a Form, or using an Assault or Parry technique. Rather than increasing the size of the voidstrike damage dice directly, Nullcraft weapons instead treat a Champion of the Void as having 4 additional Bladecraft ranks, but only for the purposes of determining the size of Bladecraft dice.
