WHAT’S THIS?
The No Class Hack is a supplement for use with THE BLACK HACK
(TBH), by David Black and its variants to replace broader Classes
with specific abilities and enhancements called Edges. The beauty
of TBH is its succinct nature and modular adaptability. You can
easily remove or add portions to customize the game to fit your
playing style, new ideas, or desires of the players. This is my
attempt to maintain that spirit and provide you with something
that, at a minimum, is useful and, at best, inspirational for you to
create your own adaptations for THE BLACK HACK or get others
excited about playing Tabletop Roleplaying Games. Enjoy.
CHARACTER CREATION
Roll up your character as per TBH but do not CHOOSE A CLASS.
TBH does not include rules for races therefore these are optional
and may only be implemented with the approval of the GM. If the
GM does not allow Races, use No Race.

EDGES
Edges describe a focused skill or special ability. Edges can affect
Hit Dice, Weapon Proficiencies, and Attack Damage or introduce
new abilities. For ease of searching, they are organized into Ability,
Combat, Racial, and Spell Casting Edges.
RETAKING EDGES
Unless noted otherwise in the Edge’s description, it can only be
selected once. Other Edges, followed by “X” such as “Multiattack X”,
can be taken up to five times. On the character sheet replace the “X”
with the number of times that Edge has been taken such as
“Multiattack 5”, “Brawler 2”, “Sorcery 3” etc.
RACIAL EDGES
There are some Edges which and are only available to the race
indicated and will be noted accordingly.
CUSTOM EDGES
GMs and Players can work together to create their own Edges using
the following are guidelines.
• Give the new Edge a one or two word descriptor.

• Describe the Edge in only one sentence.
• Limit enhancement to one shift of a Usage Die or provide
Advantage on a few related actions.
• Consider further limiting the Edge to once per day or week
or by requiring some narrowly defined trigger condition or
prerequisite but do not create a “tree” of prerequisites.
• Use the existing Edges as a guide.

** Maximum Spells Known = INT, WIS (or CHA as applicable)
SPELL CASTING USAGE DIE starts at d4 increases one step each

time the Arcana or Theurgy Edge is selected up to a max of d12.
The Spell Casting Die limits the number and power of spells that
can be safely cast each day. It represents the caster’s 'energy' and
the taxing nature of casting spells. See Casting a Spell.
SPELLS MEMORIZED starts at 2, regardless of the spell’s level and

increases by two each time the Arcana or Theurgy Edge is selected.
These spells can be cast as often as the character chooses, limited
only by their Spell Casting Die. Each day, a character may switch
out any or all memorized spells with any other spell they know.
Spellcasters can cast any known spell, even when not memorized, directly
from their spellbook or holy manuscripts but casting time is one minute.
SPELLS GAINED/KNOWN start as 2 – 1st Level and 1 – 2nd Level

and increase as shown on the table. These spells are those that the
character learns through their studies, research and insight and
selected by the Player. This advancement is the minimum.
Adventuring character may discover and add additional spells to
their repertoire.

SPELL CASTING
Resolve the spell as per its description then roll the Spell Casting
Die once for each level of the spell cast. Each result of 1 or 2 reduces
the Spell Casting Die one step.
SPELL CASTING DIE CHAIN

d12 > d10 > d8 > d6 > d4 > 0 > -1 > -2 > -3 > -4 > -5 > -6
After roughly 8 hours rest, a character has refreshed the Spell Casting
Die to its maximum. Note that if a character has both an Arcane and
Divine Spell Casting Die, they are tracked separately.
Upon reaching “0”, roll on the Depleted Table. Similarly, employ the
Corruption Drop Table dice for each negative step reached.
By using a spell that is too powerful, or when the caster is too weak,
the Spell Casting Die can sink below d4 which can harm the caster
or those nearby whether friend or foe. A caster may continue
casting spells at their peril until their Spell Casting Die reaches -6.
LOW SPELL CASTING DIE RESULTS

0 Depleted – Roll 1d6 on the Depleted Table
-1 Corruption – Use 1d6 on the Corruption Drop Table
-6 + Dead – You die, usually in a flashy way that may very well
injure those Nearby.*
* The method of your demise up to the GM but will often be related to the
effects of the spell cast spinning out of control. In addition to that, a Divine
caster may be transfigured or raptured or the earth may open up with you
being carried away by demons. An Arcane caster may explode into crystal
shards, cosmic plasma, or be taken by an alien astral beast.

Use 1d6 on the Corruption Drop Table.

CORRUPTION DROP TABLE
Drop a number of d6 as indicated previously. Reroll any dice that fall or
bounce off of the table and apply those effects to those Nearby. The
location of each die indicates the Corruption and the result on the face
indicates the relative severity and/or duration at the GMs discretion.

DRAWBACKS 29
FOLLOWERS
Powerful, rich, and/or famous character will attract followers.
These are not the same as paid staff, guards or mercenaries that a
character may employ. Followers can be gained by a character at
4th level and every even level afterward. When a character qualifies
to attain followers, roll 1d6 on the Followers Table. The GM may
also require the character to spend money, time, and make it
known that they are looking to take someone into service.
FOLLOWERS
1 Familiar – Animal or creature, such as a dog, cat, raven, owl,
rat that is unusually intelligent (INT 2d6+1) that can follow
simple commands and answer “yes” and “no” questions.
2 Padwan – Youth who is rather naive and impressionable that
wants to apprentice (0 Level, 4hp).
3 Novices – First level novices (1d4) of the same race and/or
similar Edges as the character.
4 Sordid – A 2nd level/2HD sneaky and/or violent type (possibly
a creature) is attracted to the character’s fame and power but
is loyal if treated well.
5 Idealistic – A 2nd level/2HD impulsive and/or protective type
(possibly a creature) is attracted to the character’s fame and
purpose and is loyal if treated well.
6 Roll twice for two results, ignoring results of 6.
The character may dismiss a specific follower and after 30 days and
then roll a successful CHA Test to attract a new follower after
spending some time effort and resources to seek new henchmen.
The character may have no more followers than their Level x2.
The maximum HD or Level of an individual follower can be no more
than ½ of the character’s level.
FOLLOWERS 30
FOLLOWER MAINTENANCE
The new follower will have minimal or no quality gear and must be
outfitted at the character’s expense. Afterwards, the character will
need to maintain expenses for the follower at a minimum cost of 5
coins a week per Level or HD of the follower.
Followers will generally follow

requests and commands of the
character as long as they are
treated well and maintained. In
compromising situations or
when commanded to act against
their nature, the GM may require
Morale – CHA Tests (possibly at
Disadvantage) by the player to
see if follower obeys.
If such a Morale Test Fails, the

follower may respond in an
unexpected way. The GM may
decide or can roll on the
following table.
CONFLICTED FOLLOWERS
1 Whatever! – Do nothing and just avoid the current conflict
2 Surly – As above but leave service at the next opportunity
3 Renounce – Immediately flee and leave service
4 Retribution – Immediately flee, leaving service but seeking
afterward to become follower of a nemesis
5 Challenge – Attack the character then flee seeking out service to
become follower of a nemesis
6 Unacceptable! – Attack the character and fight until slain or
subdued

Author’s Note: I was more inspired by David Black’s, THE BLACK HACK, than
any other tabletop rpg game or supplement that I have read or used in quite a
while. TBH is succinct without losing the spirit of the game. Instead of a
confining what can and cannot be done, TBH allows the DM and players to breathe
and add meat to the bones rather than being spoon-fed pre-digested gruel. The
simplicity makes it straightforward for the DM to easily adapt existing material or
develop new material on the fly. It immediately struck me that TBH would easily
allow modular rule options and additions to suit the flavor and play style of the DM
and players. This project was initially intended to only to provide “Edges”, mini-
feats that a character could gain as they advanced but inspiration kept striking and
so additional content for followers, arcane corruption, and additional fantasy races
were added. I hope you enjoy this labor of love and find some use and inspiration
for it in your games. Thanks for your support.
