Rules Addon - Naruto D&D - Fits anywhere...probably...

I'm (hopefully) not going to devote too much time to this as it was only supposed to be an errand thought...but here goes.

I've decided to do Jutsus as feats...feats that also need a Chakra Use skill.

I shall explain why. Using chakra is something that, in theory, everybody can do and each jutst is learned and used mor like feats than magic. You learn them once and can do them as many times as you like during the day, provided you have chakra...unlike the magic system in D&D. I've done a system of chakra reserve and I'll get to that in a bit.

Anyhow, each of these feats will have prerequisites...minimum skill ranks in the Use Chakra skill. This is because being able to use chakra in the first place is neccesary in order to use jutsus...simple enough? !Update! These will all be [Ninja] Feats, and be gained automatically every so often by the Ninja Class I made in another post.

This skill is also used for two things: -

1 - Determining ability to use the skill. The modifier for this is Wisdom. Therefore, ranks plus wisdom bonus.

2 - Determining how often jutsus can be used. The modifier for this is Constitution. Therefore, chakra points per day is Skill ranks plus Con bonus, plus Ninja level (so it's easier for ninjas to actually use them).

If you get to 0 in chakra reserve, you CAN do more...but it does temporary Constitution damage.

!!!EDIT!!!

I'm adding Genjutsu and Ninjutsu as skills.

I may add Taijutsu, but that's physical combat and mthinks that's represented a lot already by feats and the like.

As for Genjutsu and Ninjutsu, the way I see it working is that you gain a chance to dispell Genjutsus with that skill and Ninjutsu is essentially Spellcraft for Jutsus. It'll probably have other uses too...I'm not sure.

As for how chakra regenerates...at the time of writing, I'd not figured it out, but now I've updated and it's in a later post. [EDIT - I did!]

Also, you can't have ranks in this skill if you don't have a soul. Chakra is the soul, essentially, afterall.

Handseals must be performed in order to do these jutsus...so they're essentially somatic components. The trick is, do I allow things without hands to do them, like other somatic components...or do I do it faithfully to the series and they have to be specific hand seals. For humans, this makes little difference (as well as most humanoid species) but it will make the difference between a dragon being able to do it or not...

Also, I think it'd be alright to have a feat that enables you to do them one-handed.

As for another one that allows no handed...I'm not sure. Moving on...

As for the jutsus themelves...they're essentially feats. They have prerequisites and what not. However, since they're also magical-ish...To learn these complex techniques, you have to spend time to learn them. The time is the same amount of weeks + the amount of prerequisites to gain the feat (not including prerequisites concerning alignment or ability numbers {such as strength and whatnot}), divided by 2, minimum time 1 week.

And now...to the jutsus I've already prepared.

All of these require that the person have ranks in Chakra Use. This can't be used untrained. This prerequisite also doesn't count towads the time it takes to learn it.


--------------------


Chakra Focus - The user can focus their chakra better. User can run up walls. Same as spider climb ability, but can only be performed with run actions. Must have chakra reserve left to perform. Can not perform with 0 chakra with Con as a replacement.

Chakra Focus 2 - Allows Waterwalking as a spell like ability. Cannot be used at 0 chakra.
(Prerequisite - Chakra Focus 1)

Chakra Focus 3 - Allows spiderclimb ability. Costs 1 chakra reserve point per round.
(Prerequisite - Chakra Focus 1 & 2)



Medical Ninja - (Prerequisite: Chakra Focus 1) - You gain Cure Minor Wounds as a Supernatural Ability. Costs 1 chakra reserve point per round.

Medical Ninja 2 - (Prerequisite: Chakra Focus 1 & Previous Medical Ninja feats) - You gain Cure Light Wounds as a Supernatural Ability. Costs 1 chakra reserve point per round.

Medical Ninja 3 - (Prerequisite: Chakra Focus 2 & Previous Medical Ninja feats) - You gain Cure Moderate Wounds as a Supernatural Ability. Costs 2 chakra reserve points per round.

Medical Ninja 4 - (Prerequisite: Chakra Focus 3 & Previous Medical Ninja feats) - You gain Cure Serious Wounds as a Supernatural Ability. Costs 2 chakra reserve point per round.


Henge - The same as the disguise skill. Can be synergised with Disguise, if you have the neccessary minimum ranks for synergy. Costs 1 chakra point per ten minutes use (10 rounds).

Bunshin - This jutsu creates the visual illusion of yourself. This illusion cannot speak but can move around. You can move the image within a radius equal to miles X your wisdom modifier + 50o feet. Costs 1 chaka point for each Bunshin created.

Kage Bunshin (Prerequisite: Bunshin*) - The bunshin is a copy of you in every way. It can use any jutsus you know and anything it learns when it dispells, you now know. This can be used to cheat with learning skills and whatnot (if your DM makes you take time out to do it). To make this copy, you must sacrifice chakra points. 1 point goes to creating the body and the rest is the kage bunshin's chakra reserve. If the original person loses chakra points or becomes unconscious, then the bunshin's dispell. This is because they have an intangible link to the user.


And now, to tackle bloodlines.

Bloodlined abilities are ALSO feats..but having these is part of having an inherited template.

It's simply called the Bloodline template as it's remarkably simple. You can only get bloodline feats if you have this template and have the neccessary prerequisites. For example. To get Sharingan 2 you not only need the template, but Sharingan 1.

I'm not sure whether to do level adjustments as the amount of bloodlined feats -1 (rounded down to nearest 1) or whether each individual bloodline feat will hav their own level adjustment.

Oh well. That's all I have for now. Input would be appreciated.

I'll work on this later, using one of my own Naruto RP charaters as a base.


Until then, have fun folks...

An update...running late...whoops

The other day I was asked by someone in an IRC to do some stats for the creatures in Gears of War.

I said I'd have one done by now...I don't.

Whoops.

I promise I'm doing it though ^_^

Check back soon...

New Weapon - Greatsword - 3,550 gold value - "The Wedding Dress Pillar"

This weapon came from an in-joke which I really can't be bothered to go in to. To be honest, it's not that funny anyway.

Anyhow, the image used is "borrowed" from a guy called Wen M. Please support the artist by visiting his DeviantArt page. Thankyou ^_^

And now...for stats!

The Wedding Dress Pillar. It's forged for medium-sized characters.

Magic Greatsword.

+1 to hit.


Surestriking. Harms creatures with damage reduction as if it had a +5 enchanment bonus.

Vampiric. Any living opponent struck by the blade must make a Fortitude save (DC 16) or lose an additional 1d4 hit points, which are immdiatly added to the wielder's current hit point total. Any hit points above the wielder's maximum are treated as temporary hitpoints (Multiple additions of temporary hit points don't stack) and dissapear after one hour.



3,550 gold


2d6 damage

19-20/X2

8lbs

Slashing.

Kamiki Theron - Cleric of Sharess - CR 10 - CG

This is an NPC I was going to use as an aid in the city of Domusremeny, if the party ever looked for a temple. When the party didn't find any of Mystra, they didn't bother thinking to go to any temples of any other Deities. Seeing that Sharess is allies with Selune and Mystra (especially in my campaign setting, what with a holy war agoing on) it was planned that she would b the one to help them...But our cleric doesn't seem to trust anyone who isn't with Mystra.

Oh well. Here she is anyway. She is based off of a piece of artwork by Enumasam. Please visit his gallery, as it's very good. She seemed very "Sharess-y" to me, so here she is...

New Deity - Oocata - God of Jungles and Enclosed Spaces

The usual disclaimer here; please buy the books if you like what you see...

Oocata - God of Jungles and enclosed spaces

Alignment = NE

(Represented by a snarling monkey)

[Domains: Darkness (BoVD), Plant, Shadow (Eberron), Animal.]

Favoured Weapon = Monkey's Claw (Spiked Gauntlet)

Darkness Domain.

(There is a darkness domain in the Faerun book, as well and it's different. However, to keep it removed from mainland Faerun, I've gone with the version as described in the Book of Vile Darkness. The way I see it, it'd be cool to see these guys go up against Clerics of Shar and with different spells at their disposal, it'd at least be an interesting fight. In case of confusion though, I'll refer to it in spell-level lists as...*thinks*..."Shrouding Darkness".)


Granted Power: -

Character gains the Blind-Fight feat.


Shrouding Darkness Domain Spells: -

1. Darkvision.

2. Darkbolt*.

3. Deeper Darkness.

4. Damning Darkness*.

5. Evard's Black Tentacles.

6. Wall of Force.

7. Shadow Walk.

8. Utterdark*.

9. Screen.






Shadow Domain

Granted Power: -

Bluff and Hide are Class skills. (Originally, this special ability was the same as the "Shrouding Darkness" one...so I changed it to this. Methinks it's still balanced nicely.)



Shadow Domain Spells

1. Obscuring Mist.

2. Darkness.

3. Deeper Darkness.

4. Shadow Conjuration.

5. Shadow Evocation.

6. Shadow Walk.

7. Shadow Conjuration, Greater.

9. Shades.








!!!Extra Spells!!!


Damning Darkness

Evocation [Darkness, Evil]

Level: Cleric 4, Shrouding Darkness 4, Sorceror/Wizard 4
Components: V, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 action.
Range: Touch
Target: Object Touched
Duration: 10 minutes / level (D)
Saving Throw: None.
Spell Resistance: No.

This spell is similar to Darkness, except that those within the darkness also take unholy damage. Creatures of good alignment take 2d6 points of damage per round in the darkness, and creatures neither good nor vil take 1d6 points of damage.

As with the Darkness spell, the area of darkness is a 20-foot radius, and the object that serves as the spell's target can be shrouded to block the darkness (and thus the damaging effect).

Damning Darkness counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower level.

Arcane Material Component: A dollup of pitch with a tiny needle hidden inside it.











Darkbolt

Evocation [Darkness, Evil]

Level: Cleric 2, Shrouding Darkness 2, Sorceror/Wizard 2
Components: V, S.
Casting Time: 1 action.
Range: Close (25ft + 5ft / 2 levels)
Target: One creature.
Duration: Instantaneous.
Saving Throw: Fortitude Partial
Spell Resistance: Yes.

The caster makes a ranged touch attack against a foe, launching a bolt of cold darkness from his left hand. The bolt deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8). Half the damage is cold and the other is no specific type.
When struck, the foe must succeed at a Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round, overwhelmed by the evil charge of the darkbolt.






Utterdark

Conjuration (Creation) [Evil]

Level: Shrouding Darkness 8, Demonic 8, Sorceror/Wizard 9.
Components: V, S, M/DF.

Area: 100ft/level radius spread, centredon caster.
Duration: 1 hour/level.
Saving Throw: None.
Spell Resistance: No.


Utterdark spreads from the caster, creating an area of cold, cloying magical darkness. This darkness is similar to that created by the Deeper Darkness spell, but no magical light counters or dispels it.

Furthermore, evil-aligned creatures can see in this darkness as if it were simply a dimly-lit area.

Arcane Material Component: A black stick, 6 inches long, with humanoid blood smeared on it.

New Deity - Alia - Goddess of Beauty and Serenity

Another Deity in the Evosan Pantheon I came up with.

Since I'm using this in a Ferunian pantheon, I've not included any spells which come with that resource book. This is because I originally only wrote these for my benefit and as such, didn't need them as I already had the Faerun book in front of me whilst playing anyway...

So...umm...sorry.

As usual, please buy the books if you see someting out of them you like.

Thse light effects not only clearly reveal whether the beings in the light are good or evil (unless their alignment is masked by any means), they also boost and decrease morale.

All good beings in the 60 foot radius of the Fair Light receive a +1 morale bonus to attack and save rolls. All evil beings in the light siffer a -1 morale penalty to such rolls.

As Daylight, Fair Light counters and dispels equal or lesser darkness spells such as Deeper Darkness.

If the defender has spell resistance, it applies to this effect.

Creatures that makes successful melee attacks against the subject are susceptible to the same damage unless they attack with weapons that have reach, such as longspears.
