Hit Die: d6
Skill Points: (4 x Int modifier) + 4 each level.
Favored Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Sense Motive, Knowledge(Supernatural), "Spellcraft"
Darkvision: Adepts have darkvision up to 60 ft.
Detect Aura: The Void Adept first learns how to sense energy without the use of their eyes and ears. At will, as a standard action, the Adept can sense supernatural phenomena within half a mile, such as ki, supernatural martial arts, magic and the like.
Garandou: The "Void Blast" attack. The Void Adept can call upon the power of nothingness within them to unleash a beam of dark energy. The damage starts at 1d8 at 1st level and increases by another 1d8 every other level. Garandou is a spell-like ability.
Garandou Forms: The Garandou attack can take different shapes and house different effects, these are Forms. 1 shape-type form and 1 effect-type form can be active at the same time. The standard Garandou attack is a ranged touch attack that strikes a single enemy within 60 ft. There are 4 tiers of Garandou Forms,ascending in power.
Wu Wei Refrain: Deeper refinements of the power of absence, Refrains are tricks and attacks that give the Void Adept an extra edge over their opponents. There is no limit to how many times Refrains can be used. Activating a refrain is a standard action and is considered a spell-like ability. The DC for Refrains is equal to 10 + the equivalent spell level + the Adept's charisma modifier. There are 4 tiers of refrains, ascending in power. 1st tier Refrains are 2nd level equivalent, 2nd tier Refrains are 5th level equivalent, 3rd tier Refrains are 7th level equivalent and 4th tier Refrains are 9th level equivalent.
Shadow Barrier: The Void Adept can solidify shadows and use them to deflect attacks. Every second level, the Void Adept gains an additional +1 misc. bonus to AC.
Devour Shadows: The Adept can draw darkness into their own body to heal their wounds and reenergize themselves. They can do this any time they are in an area of low light or immersed completely within a shadow. The amount they heal is equal to twice their caster level multiplied by their charisma bonus.
Resist Energy: The defensive capabilities of the Adept begin to become more and more subtle. At level 8 the Adept becomes innately resistant to all Energy attacks as the aura of entropy he cultivates drains the attacks of power. The resistance starts at 5 at level 8, becomes 10 at level 12, 15 at level 16 and 20 at level 20.
True Void Mastery: The Void Adept has truly embraced Wu Wei completely, and is now perfect in form and clear in mind, becoming a Master. From this point on, the Adept doesn't age and is immune to poisons, diseases, critical hits, death effects and all enchantment and illusion effects. They can also now combine 2 Garandou forms and 2 Garandou Effects together at the same time freely.
