Shinobi: Origins

+ Character Creation + Ability Scores In Shinobi: Origins, players have the following options when determining their characters ability scores; a. Rolling 4d6; dropping the lowest and re-rolling all 1s in the first roll. (Example: Shinigami rolls 4d6 and the result is 6, 4, 1, 1. Shinigami re-rolls both 1s and gets a 4 and a 1. The 1 cannot be re-rolled again.) b. 45 point buy c. Rolling 5d6; dropping the lowest two. In Shinobi: Origins, players have the following options when determining their characters hit points; a. Hit Die Roll + Con Mod (Normal) b. Auto Half of Hit Die + Con

+ Chakra/Spirit Shinobi receive 2+Con Modifier points of Chakra every level, x2 at the 1 st level. Heroic, Non-Shinobi receive 1+ half the characters Con Modifier every level, not doubled at the 1st. Commoner/Ordinary receives Con Modifier points of chakra every level, not doubled at the 1st. Spirit: If chakra represents the combination of ones physical and spiritual self, the n this score represents the bonds that hold them together. Spirit is a direct mark of ones inner strength and will. While there are very few that have the ability to tap into this inner reserve, for those that can an entire new level of power becomes available. One should be careful though, because depleting ones Spirit power can result in immediate death. Every character gains 1+Wis Modifier in Spirit Points (SP) every level. When a character reaches 0 SP, it is considered that the soul of the character has been directly affected and life is soon to leave them. Upon reaching 0, the character must make a Fortitude Save DC 15, or be reduced immediately to 1 hit point and dying. On a successful save, the character becomes exhausted and begins to leak his spirit energy into the atmosphere. Until the character is restored to at least 1 point of SP, they will be dealt 1 point of temporary Constitution damage every hour until properly rested. This ability score damage heals normally with rest. A character regains their Wisdom Modifier + level in SP with a full evenings rest (8 hours). Whenever a character takes a break, they also regain their Wisdom modifier in spirit points. New Skill Use Concentration (Con) Trained Only. This skill can be used to tap into ones spiritual essence and convert it into stamina. Check (Convert Spirit): The character is able to gain temporary hit points by lowering his Spirit points by a specific amount. Convert Spirit Performed as a full attack action Performed as a standard action Temporary hp gained (per point) Character performs no seals Character performs a half-seal Character performs a hand seal Base DC 15 20 +1 -2 -5

A successful check means the character gains temporary hit points for 1 minute/level by lowering his spirit pool by the same amount. Retry?: The character can try again with another action. Time: Using this skill is either a standard or full attack action to tap one's spirit. Special: The character can't take 10 or take 20 when tapping his spirit pool. + Affinities A player may choose to forego an elemental affinity for the following bonus talents: Tough Hide: Surviving hardship and physical punishment for so long has made you slightly more resistant than the average person. The character gains DR 2/-. Brawler: Fighting has become a core of your being, so much so that you bleed adrenaline. The character gains a +1 insight bonus to attack and damage rolls with melee weapons and natural attacks. Marksman: Your eye is as accurate as any device and plenty more reliable. The character gains a +2 insight bonus to ranged attacks rolls. Knowledge is Power!: Your mind is much keener than your sword. You defeat your opponents through proper planning and good old-fashioned investigative work. Whenever the user successfully identifies an opponent with a Reputation or skill check, they gain a total of 10 bonus points that can be distributed between allies attack rolls, skill checks and saves. No character can gain more than a +3 bonus in a single area from this talent and it only affects allies within 20ft at the time the successful check was made. Spiritual Prodigy: Through some ties in your genetics, the ability to contain and harvest spiritual energy is greater within you than your peers. The character gains an additional +1 SP/level permanently. This talent can be taken more than once and its effects stack. Swift: You have an early understanding that speed often wins over power. The character gains a +2 to initiative checks and a +10ft increase to movement. + Classes Along with the normal selection of classes offered by Naruto D20, a player is capable of creating non-base classes of their own that can be taken as soon as the class has been approved and prerequisites met. Please note that for classes added from other sources, Firearms based feats are replaced with those that apply to ranged weapons and vehicle based feats are simply removed. Proficiencies: Naruto D20 base classes will offer the player its optional armor proficiencies, but only at the 1st level. Fast Hero: Per the optional rules, Uncanny Dodge 1 and Evasion in the Fast Talent tree will have their positions and prerequisites switched, meaning that a character must have Uncanny Dodge 1 before Evasion can be selected. Dreadnaught (D20 Future): This class is a selectable class at a players option and upon meeting the prerequisites. It adds Taijutsu and Knowledge (Ninja Lore) to its list of class skills. Explorer (D20 Future): This class is a selectable class at a players option and upon meeting the prerequisites. It adds Ninjutsu and Knowledge (Ninja Lore) to its list of class skills. Field Officer (D20 Future): This class is a selectable class at a players option and upon meeting the prerequisites. The feat requirement of Personal Firearms Proficiency has been changed to Force of Personality (Naruto D20) to better suit the specifics of the campaign. It also adds Taijutsu, Genjutsu and Knowledge (Ninja Lore) to its list of class skills.

Helix Warrior (D20 Future): This class is a selectable class at a players option and upon meeting the prerequisites. It adds Taijutsu and Knowledge (Ninja Lore) to its list of class skills.

+ Equipment While Enhancement Seals will be available, it is incredibly rare to find someone with the ability to craft them and such services are not offered cheap. The formula for calculating the cost for Enhancement Seals is now: Purchase DC + Rank of the Seal + 3. Bingo Book: Purchase DC 18, +1 License Restriction; The Bingo Book is a compilation of Shinobi that are wanted for various reasons by Feudal Lords, clans, towns, etc. It generally lists at least the most general details about a person, but can also possess very detailed information about an entry and their fighting style as well as capabilities. A character with a Bingo Book always receives a +2 bonus to abilities such as Plan when used against someone listed and always succeeds on making a Reputation check to identify the person. The information in a Bingo Book needs to be periodically updated, a process with a Purchase DC of 10. An outdated Bingo Book will not refer its benefits to the user until it has been updated; a process that needs to be done at least once every two weeks. + Bloodlines/Templates As with custom classes, Bloodlines can be submitted for use prior to character creation and are usable upon approval. Rules for Bloodline levels are as seen in Naruto D20 with all, including the optional bloodline abilities, being available. New Template: Weapon Technician Somewhere in the world, lies an academy that trains its students to be masters of weapons and combat. These Weapon Technicians are assigned a partner, a weapon with an actual human form that accompanies them on their quest to purify souls and to create the ultimate weapon a Death Scythe. Special Qualities: Partner Character Level Adjustment: +1 Partner: The character begins play with their weapon of choice, a partner, who will accompany them on their adventure. The two connect on a truly spiritual level, a bond that is difficult to break. The weapon is a loyal companion that accompanies the character as he executes missions, offering aid in combat and non-combat situations as well as moral support when needed. As the character advances in level, the weapons power increases as described below. If the partner dies, a new one can be acquired, but will need to be trained with continuously, 8 hours a day, for 10 days per total level or hit dice of the character (maximum 210 days). A partner still benefits the ability score increase every 4 hit dice it gains, and their Chakra Pool is the same as that of a Heroic, non-shinobi. A partner is treated as a NPC that is always 2 levels lower than its master (minimum level 1). Its ability scores, skill points, etc are created as if the character was a NPC.

As a standard action and at will, the weapon can transform between its human and weapon form. For every 4 hit die the weapon possesses, its enhancement bonus increases by +1. This bonus carries over to attacks made while in its human form. Additionally, as a swift action, the character can transform any part of its body into part of its weapon form; i.e. a partner could turn its arm into a sword blade. While a partner is a loyal friend, it does have a mind of its own and might not always be willing to perform a task if it would disagree with its own moral compass. Allegiances for the weapon are chosen at creation. Soul Resonance (Ex): Through use of this ability, the weapon and master can attempt to synchronize their soul wavelengths. Doing so requires a Chakra Control check (DC 30) that must be achieved by the combined efforts of master and weapon and costs the user and weapon 5 SP. Doing so successfully allows the user to enter the Synchronized state. In this mode and for a number of rounds equal to the users Wisdom modifier, the player sees their Ability Modifiers temporarily increased by an amount equal to their weapons modifiers, +10 temporary chakra and the weapons base saves are added to the users. In addition, the weapon becomes a chakra enhanced weapon and gains use of its special ability (created by the player at character creation). The character can only spend a total number of rounds in this state per day equal to their Level + Wisdom modifier. At the end of the abilitys duration, the character and weapon must succeed a DC 15 Fortitude save or become exhausted until properly rested. Soul Eater (Su): Whenever a creature is slain, it leaves behind its essence. A weapon feeds on this substance and uses it to grow stronger. As a full round action, the weapon will devour the soul of its victim healing 1d10 hit points. A character that has had its soul eaten cannot be revived by any means. A weapon that has devoured 99 Souls and 1 of a character at least ECL 15 (for a total of 100), becomes a Death Scythe. The weapon immediately gains enough experience to make it equal with its master and its enhancement bonuses are doubled. A master of a Death Scythe has its ECL increased by an additional +1. A character wielding a Death Scythe adds its enhancement bonus as a deflection bonus to defense and a morale bonus to saves. The Death Scythe is also considered an epic weapon for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction.

Sonic Blow an Assassin Cross wielding two light weapons can perform a Sonic Blow. This blindingly fast series of attacks is enough to possibly stun the unfortunate target. As a standard action, the user makes a single attack that if successful, deals 1d8 points of damage for every level in this prestige class. The target is also forced to make a Fortitude save DC= 10 + Assassin Cross Class levels + Intelligence Modifier or be stunned for one round. A successful save both halves the damage dealt by this ability and negates the stun. This ability can be used once per day for every 4 levels in this class. Affinity to Shadows an Assassin Cross in shadows or under the effects of concealment gains his Intelligence modifier to defense as an insight bonus. Opponents that are not hindered by poor lighting or that can ignore concealment also ignore this bonus to defense. Cloaking While walking within the specified distance to a wall or other large object capable of casting a shadow (regardless of the lighting conditions), the Assassin Cross can activate this ability to become Invisible at the cost of 2 chakra per round.

Craft Deadly Poison The guild responsible for training these special breeds of Assassin have also created a poison whose origin and ingredients are known only to members. This poison, called the Devils Brew, can be created with a Craft (Chemical) check DC 28 and ingredients with a wealth equivalent of 17. This contact poisons initial effect deals 2d4 points of damage over 5 rounds that can be negated with Fortitude save DC 20. The secondary effect deals 2d4 points of Constitution damage. If this poison is used in conjunction with the Death Attack special ability, the DC is increased by 2. Meteor Break This is one of the secret techniques coveted by the Assassin Cross. By building a large quantity of energy within their weapons, they swing in a wide circle, creating an explosion of energy around them. This is a burst attack with a 10ft radius centered on the Assassin Cross that deals 5d6 points of damage; half physical and half energy. The type of this damage is determined by the characters primary elemental affinity. If the character doesnt have one, it defaults as sonic damage. A successful reflex save DC= 10+Class Level + Int Modifier halves the damage dealt by this ability. Meteor Break can be used once per encounter and the user must be wielding two weapons in order to activate it. Enchant Deadly Poison One of the deadlier abilities of the Assassin Cross is one that allows him to enchant his weapons with Devils Brew. As a standard action that costs 8 points of chakra, a single weapon held by the Assassin Cross is immediately coated in a single dose of poison. This condition lasts for 1 round or until the first successful strike with the enchanted weapon. If the weapon leaves the hand of the user, the effect will end prematurely. Soul Breaker The final and most outwardly destructive of techniques known by the Assassin Cross; the Soul Breaker is a culmination of mystical and physical force used most often when the Assassin realizes that covert ops are no longer an option. Twice per day, the Assassin Cross can unleash this ability as a ray attack. With a successful ranged touch attack with a range of 20ft, this ability initially deals damage as if the user had succeeded a melee attack with both held weapons (including enhancement or special effects). The opponent is then subject to 10d6 points of damage per the rules of Meteor Break. A successful Fortitude save DC= 10+Class Level + Int Modifier halves the damage dealt by this ability.

Location of the Moon: This marking has a radius of 20ft. As long as the Star Gladiator remains within the radius of this marker, Hatred and Comfort abilities designated as Moon can be activated. In addition, as long as the user is positioned inside of this marker, he gains a +1 dodge bonus to defense per 2 class levels while using the Taekwon stance. Hatred Star Gladiators, within their marker, can gain special advantages against opponents that would dare tread into their territory. These are extraordinary abilities that can be activated as a standard action. Whenever the opponent leaves the celestial markers, they gain a new save against the abilities effect. An opponent that has succeeded a save against a particular celestial ability cannot be targeted by it again for 24 hours. ! Hatred of the Stars: This causes the target to feel slightly uneasy on their feet, as if the world is shifting around them. On a failed Will save, DC = 10+Class level + Intelligence modifier, the target gains a 2 penalty to disarm, trip, grapple and bull rush checks. This effect lasts until the target dies or leaves the marked location. ! Hatred of the Sun: Ambient reflections of light seem to make the user shift in and out of reality constantly, making it difficult for the target to read the users movements. On a failed Reflex save, DC = 10+Class Level + Dexterity modifier, the Star Gladiator may attempt an additional attack per round at their highest attack bonus against the affected target. When using this ability, all of the Star Gladiators attacks incur a 2 penalty in that round. This effect lasts until the target dies or leaves the marked location. ! Hatred of the Moon: To the target, an unnatural darkness seems to cloud the area, making it difficult to guard themselves properly against the users attacks. On a failed Will save, DC = 10+Class level + Intelligence modifier, the users unarmed attacks against the target become melee touch attacks. This effect lasts until the target dies or leaves the marked location. Warmth Deep within the soul of the Star Gladiator burns radiance and power akin to the celestials bodies themselves. With focus and training, the Star Gladiator can learn to call upon this power and use it as their own. As an immediate action, this ability can be activated to deal 2d4 points of fire damage to any opponent that comes within 5ft of the Star Gladiator for 1 round. Any target affected by this ability must also succeed fortitude save (DC 15) to avoid being pushed back 5ft. This ability can be used once per day per level in this class.

Comfort Those who come to attune themselves to the celestial forces of the universe find not only great strength, but also great comfort from their ambient energies. Star Gladiators of at least 4 th level can call upon these abilities as a standard action once per day while positioned within the appropriate, celestial location. The benefits granted by Comfort will end prematurely if the Star Gladiator leaves the marked area. ! Comfort of the Stars: The user gains a +2 morale bonus to savings throws for 5 rounds. ! Comfort of the Sun: The user gains Blind-Sight (10ft) for 5 rounds. ! Comfort of the Moon: The user gains the benefit of a Fast Healing 2 for 5 rounds. Wrath of the Celestial Using this ability, the Star Gladiator is blessed with great power by the celestial bodies that he has come to recognize. Such a power does not come without a price though. In exchange for such a bestowment, the Star Gladiators body is wrought with a temporary, Celestial Sickness. This sickness affects the users eyes, limiting his vision to just a small area around him. Creatures more than 10ft away from the user gain concealment while those more than 20ft away gain total concealment. As a benefit, whenever the user takes a full attack action, kick maneuver or uses a technique with the Taijutsu descriptor, the Star Gladiator can make a free unarmed attack at his highest attack bonus against any adjacent opponent with a 5 penalty. This attack gains the full benefits of any Celestial Markers that may be active. In addition, whenever the Star Gladiator uses the Total Defense action or Combat Expertise, the dodge bonus granted increases by 2. This ability can be used for a total of 1 minute per day, but need not be used all at once. This is a supernatural ability that is activated as a standard action. + Soul Linker Requirements To qualify to become a Soul Linker, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria.

As a standard action, the Soul Linker can grant any ally a cumulative +1 to attack rolls, defense, saves and skill checks at the cost of (3) chakra. The bonus granted cannot exceed the users Intelligence modifier. The link stays active for 1 minute, after which the target will revert to normal.

Warm Wind At the cost of 1sp, the Soul Linker can temporarily charge their Soul Linker abilities with an elemental affinity of their choice. This ability lasts for 1 minute. Bonus Chakra The Soul Linker gains a certain amount of bonus chakra and bonus reserve from taking levels in this class.

Soul of the Celestial At the cost of 2sp, the Soul Linker can focus and direct a stream of ambient energy towards a single opponent. This is a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 30ft that deals 2d6 points of damage. On a successful hit, the target must succeed a Fortitude save DC= 10 + class level + Intelligence Modifier or become stunned for 1 round. This ability is considered to be a Chakra Control (Spirit) technique of Rank 3 for the purpose of feats and abilities and can be specialized in as if it were a Ray Attack. Spiritual Endowment Starting at the 3rd level, the Soul Linker can bestow additional benefits to an ally when using the Soul Link ability. Using any of these abilities increases the chakra cost of Soul Link by 3 and only one benefit can be given to a single ally. Spirit of the Beast: The targeted ally, in addition to the Soul Link benefits, gains a +2 bonus to melee damage rolls and a DR 2/-. Spirit of the Hunter: The targeted ally, in addition to the Soul Link benefits, gains Blindsight equal to 5ft per point of the Soul Linkers Intelligence modifier and gain the ability to fire or throw two ranged weapons as part of a single attack action for the duration of this ability. Spirit of the Sage: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Spirit techniques used by the target have their costs reduced by the Soul Linkers Intelligence modifier to a minimum of 1. Kaihi By tapping into the divine energies of the celestial bodies, the Soul Linker can endow himself or a Soul Linked ally with a special healing energy. As a standard action that costs 5sp, the user can target one Soul Linked ally or herself with Kaihi. Whenever the targeted creature would take lethal damage of any source, they are healed for 1d4 points of damage. Kaihi can be empowered to a maximum of 3d4 at the cost of (2) chakra per die. This ability ends when the targets Soul Link status ends, or 1 minute if the Soul Linker is the target. Esma By tapping deep within the ambient energies of the cosmos, the Soul Linker can direct a blast of great force at their enemies. This ability can only be activated on a target that has been hit by the Soul of the Celestial ability within the last round and is within 30ft. The target creature is dealt 6d6 points of damage. If the character was stunned by Soul of the Celestial, then this ability deals double damage. The damage dealt by this ability can be halved with a Fortitude save DC = 10 + Class Level + Wisdom modifier increased by 2 if the target was stunned by Soul of the Celestial.

Taekwon Stance Unlike other martial adepts, Taekwons focus the primary bulk of their power into furious kicks. While in this stance, the character deals unarmed damage equal to the amount displayed in parenthesis. While in this stance and as the character progresses throughout this class, they gain access to special maneuvers. These are treated as Extraordinary abilities and cannot be used if the character is immobilized or otherwise denied Dexterity to defense, or while carrying more than a light load. Round Kick The Taekwon can use this ability to unleash a special kick maneuver that is meant to catch the opponent off guard with fancy footwork. The character may attempt a Stealth check opposed by the opponents Spot check. If the user is successful, the opponent is treated as flat-footed against this attack. This maneuver is a standard action that does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity. Quick Stance Starting at the 2nd level, the Taekwons growing martial knowledge allows him to switch between stances much faster than other practitioners. All stance techniques used by the Taekwon have their casting time reduced by one step.

Whirlwind Kick Using this ability, the Taekwon can make a wide, sweeping kick against every adjacent opponent. This attack is treated as if the user was under the effect of the Whirlwind Attack feat. Dash A Taekwon of 5th level has learned to shift the momentum in their movements to increase the power and speed of their attacks. Whenever a Taekwon has moved at least 15ft in a round, they gain the specified number as a bonus to Strength and Dexterity for 1 round. This bonus stacks with any other bonuses the character might benefit from. Axe Kick Using this maneuver, the Taekwon can strike an opponent with such force, that they can temporarily halt their movements. A target effected by this attack must succeed a fortitude save DC = 10+class level +strength modifier or have their effective speed reduced to 0 for 1 round. A character subject to this ability consecutively gains a cumulative +1 bonus to the save each round it is used in a row. This maneuver is a standard action that does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity. Counter Kick A Taekwon of 9th level has learned to use his opponents strength as a weapon to his own advantage. On his following turn after being dealt melee damage by an attacker, the Taekwon can return a blow that deals its normal damage plus the attackers strength modifier as bonus damage. This ability must be activated on the users turn following the attack in order to gain the benefits. This bonus damage stacks for every successful attack made by a single attacker. This maneuver is a standard action that does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity.

Furious Taekwon Starting at the 1st level, the Taekwon Master gains the ability to use Kick maneuvers with the greatest efficiency. The Taekwon Master may substitute an attack during a full attack action with any Kick maneuver. The maneuver is performed at the users current attack bonus, but otherwise retains a ll details of its use. Heavens Thunder Using this advanced maneuver, the Taekwon Master displays a feat of great speed and power. As part of this maneuver, the user instantly moves up to 20ft and targets a single opponent within range with a powerful dropkick. The Taekwon Master makes a single attack at his highest attack bonus that if successful, deals 2x the users unarmed damage. If the target is caught flat-footed, they are dealt 3x damage instead. Using this maneuver is a standard action and the user falls prone after its execution in a square adjacent to the target. Taekwon Mission Once per day, the Taekwon Master can select a single opponent with whom to challenge the pride of his style. As long as the Taekwon Master is the only source of damage to that opponent, the user gains a morale bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to their levels in this class. Martial Supremacy Whenever an opponent uses an unarmed attack against the Taekwon Master, he may take an Attack of Opportunity against the attacker, even if a feat or technique would state otherwise. Using this ability does not grant the Taekwon Master more Attacks of Opportunity in a round than they would normally have. Oblivion State Using this special maneuver, the Taekwon Master sacrifices stature for the chance to deliver a fatal attack to his opponent. As a full attack action, the Taekwon Master deducts any number of points from his class defense and adds it to a special pool. For every point in this pool, the user adds +1 damage to their next use of a damaging Kick Maneuver. This bonus to damage lasts until the end of the encounter or until an attack is made. If the user has 10+ points in the pool, the chosen kick maneuver will provoke a MAS save from the target (DC 15) in addition to dealing its damage. The defense deducted for use with this ability returns to normal when an attack has been made or at the end of the encounter.

Quincy Shot Signature to every Quincy, is the ability to create a bow of condensed spiritual energy. Forming the bow is a move-equivalent action that lasts until the user relinquishes his hold of it, dismisses it or becomes stunned or unconscious. This ability manifests itself as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 60ft. This attack deals 1d8 points of force damage plus the users Wisdom modifier with a critical threat range of 18-20. Each shot fired using this ability cost 2sp and can be used in conjunction with feats and abilities that would normally affect a bow-type weapon. Weapon Focus This ability functions as the Weapon Focus feat, but applies only to attacks made with the Quincy Shot ability. Hirenkyaku This ability is the Quincys version of popular techniques such as Shunpo. Using Hirenkyaku, the Quincy rides a wave of spirit particles from one destination to the next, emulating the effects of fast movement. The use of Hirenkyaku allows the user to instantaneously move up to 40ft without provoking Attacks of Opportunity as a swift action. At the users discretion, they may choose to blind side the opponent, forcing a spot check versus the users hide check. A failed check by the opponent leaves them flat-footed against the Quincys next attack during that round. Soul Eraser By spending an additional 3sp in conjunction with the Quincy Shot, the user deals Spirit Point damage equal to the shown amount in addition to the damage dealt by Quincy Shot. If the spirit point damage dealt by this ability reduces a target below 0 spirit points, the excess figure is added to the Spirit Depletion save. If the target has 0sp and is targeted with this ability, it is instead dealt as chakra damage. Spirit Gather As a move action, the Quincy can collect excess spirit particles from the very air around them and channel it into their Quincy Shot. Focusing and balancing their energies can increase the effect by several times. To initiate this maneuver, the Quincy makes a Balance skill check. The result of the skill check rewards the following bonus to the Quincy Shot ability; 1-15: +1d6 Force Damage 16-30: +2d6 Force Damage 31+: +3d6 Force Damage and on a successful critical hit, the target loses 1d6 sp for 3 rounds. Greater Weapon Focus As Weapon Focus, but the conferred benefit is +2 to attack rolls made with the Quincy Shot. Heavenly Wild Suit Puppet Considered being one of the most advanced techniques in the Quincys arsenal, HWSP allows the user to manipulate ambient spirit energy to control his own body, much in the fashion of a marionette.

While this ability is active, the Quincy ignores paralysis, stun or any effect that would render the Quincy unable to move or be considered helpless. Activating HWSP is a full attack action that costs 4sp per round to maintain. If dealt damage while using this ability, the Quincy must succeed a Chakra Control check DC 10+damage dealt or lose focus on the technique and have it ended abruptly. This ability will not allow the user to avoid the penalties or effects caused by grappling or otherwise simply being held immobile.

+ Wind Walker Requirements To qualify to become a Wind Walker, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria. Base Attack Bonus +3 Skills Taijutsu 6 ranks and Tumble 6 ranks Feats Advanced Bloodline (Hiraishin), Acrobatic Special Hiraishin +1 Class Information The following information pertains to the Wind Walker advanced class. Hit Die The Wind Walker gains 1d8 hit points per level. The Constitution modifier applies. Action Points The Wind Walker gains action points equal to 7+ one half his character level, rounded down, every time he attains a new level in this class.

Combat Flow Once per round, as an immediate action and at the cost of 3 points of chakra, the Wind Walker can use this ability. When the character is subject to a melee or melee touch attack, he can attempt a Tumble check (as a reaction) to negate the hit. The hit is negated if your Tumble result is greater than the opponents attack roll. (Es sentially, the Tumble result becomes the characters Defense if its higher than the characters regular AC.) Impact As a full attack action, the Wind Walker can charge with deadly results. This is treated as a line attack with the users base speed as the range. One attack roll is made against each creature within range and if hit, are dealt additional sonic damage equal to the characters Impact and leaves the user in an unoccupied square at the end of the techniques range. This ability is usable once per day for every 2 levels the character possesses in the Wind Walker class.

Evasion X The Wind Walker gains Evasion or Improved Evasion if they already have it. This ability only functions if the Wind Walker is in light or no armor and unencumbered. Flow Counter Whenever the character successfully negates an attack with Combat Flow, he gains a +1 to attack and damage rolls against that opponent for 1 round. In addition, the opponent is treated as flat-footed against this characters next attack. Moving Target As long as the characters Hiraishin ability is active, they receive their Hiraishin as a dodge bonus to defense versus ranged attacks. Also, whenever the character makes a successful reflex save versus an effect that targets him specifically, he can choose to move up to 10 feet in any direction. This ability ceases to function whenever the character is flat-footed or otherwise immobile.

New Template: Combat Groove System A fighting system native to the Capcom and SNK franchises, this template allows a player to select a Combat groove, which gives them a considerable arsenal of abilities to be used in combat. There are 6 styles that can be chosen from. Activating the gauge abilities from any style is a swift action that does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity. Character Level Adjustment: +1 C-Groove: You have a three tiered-meter that fills up rather quickly as you attack and take damage. With the selection of this combat groove, the character gains access to the following abilities: ! C-Groove Gauge: Whenever the character takes or deals damage, half that amount is added to the gauge. When the gauge reaches 100 points, 1 level of the gauge is filled. At 300 points, the gauge is filled to max and any further points gained are simply lost. ! Block: As a standard action, a character can choose to block attacks for 1 round. During this time, any damage that would be dealt to the character is reduced 50% after any adjustments would be made for damage reduction, etc. ! Air Block: The character no longer loses his dexterity bonus to defense while in mid-air versus normal attacks and Taijutsu techniques. ! Technique Cancel: Whenever the character uses an ability in conjunction with a level 2 gauge ability, as an immediate action, the character can spend the last level of the C-groove gauge to perform another technique with a casting time no longer than a standard action and a rank no higher than 3 (effectively requiring a full gauge to perform). ! Dash: Whenever the character would take a 5-ft step, they may instead move 10ft without provoking attacks of opportunity. ! Counter Attack: While blocking, the character spends 4 points of chakra to perform a counter attack against any character that manages to deal damage to them. This is a normal attack with the characters held weapon, or natural weapon as an immediate action and can only be used once per round. ! Tactical Recovery: Whenever the character is subject to a fall (be it from trip, etc), the character may attempt a tumble check (DC 20) to immediately stand back up.

A- Groove: You get a two tiered-meter, and you are restricted to Level 1 gauge abilities only (but you can store up to two of them at a time.) However, once the meter is full, you also gain access to Custom Combos. ! A-Groove Gauge: Whenever the character takes or deals damage, half that amount is added to the gauge. When the gauge reaches 100 points, 1 level of the gauge is filled. At 200 points, the gauge is filled to max and any further points gained are simply lost. ! Custom Combo: During this state of being, the character moves at such high speeds, they are often mistaken for a group. This ability can be activated in one of two ways; the first, at gauge level 1, grants the character the Custom Combo ability for 1 round. In the second method, at gauge level 2, the ability is active for 3 rounds. For the duration of this ability, every successful attack dealt by the character has its damage dealt twice (as if the attack had hit twice) and acts as if hasted . At any time during this state, this character can use a technique of rank 2 or lower as an immediate action, but doing so ends the Custom Combo state immediately. Further, if the character is dealt any damage while in this state, the effects will end prematurely. ! Dash: Whenever the character would take a 5-ft step, they may instead move 10ft without provoking attacks of opportunity. ! Block: As a standard action, a character can choose to block attacks for 1 round. During this time, any damage that would be dealt to the character is reduced 50% after any adjustments would be made for damage reduction, etc. ! Counter Attack: While blocking, the character spends 4 points of chakra to perform a counter attack against any character that manages to deal damage to them. This is a normal attack with the characters held weapon, or natural weapon as an immediate action and can only be used once per round. ! Safe Fall: Whenever the character is subject to a fall (be it from trip, etc), the character may attempt a tumble check (DC 20) to immediately stand up and hop back 5ft without provoking an attack of opportunity.

P-Groove: You get a single meter, which fills up slowly in comparison to the other Grooves, and when it is full you must use the entire meter on a single Level 3 gauge ability. However, this Groove also has the ability that many players consider to be the most advantageous ability in the whole game: Parrying. ! P-Groove Gauge: Unlike some of the other gauge types, this gauge gains no points from the character taking damage. Only half the damage dealt by the character is added to the pool and the points gained by using the Parry ability. ! Parry: Whenever the character would be subject to damage from an attack, they may attempt an opposed perform check. For each successful check, the character negates 1 die of damage from the attack. If the character fails, they are automatically subject to the remaining die of damage. The player must choose to use this ability before the attack roll is made and once decided, cannot use abilities such as Kawarimi no Jutsu. Parrying costs 3 points of chakra per use. Each successful Parry adds 5 to the P-groove gauge. In addition, the character gains a cumulative +1 insight bonus to attack rolls for 1 round for each die of damage parried. The player can use this ability a number of times per round equal to their Dexterity modifier and it cannot be used against Mind-Effecting abilities or techniques. ! Dash: Whenever the character would take a 5-ft step, they may instead move 10ft without provoking attacks of opportunity. ! Small Jump: The character treats all jumps as 5ft shorter and incurs no attacks of opportunity from jumping when in threatened squares. ! Tactical Recovery: Whenever the character is subject to a fall (be it from trip, etc), the character may attempt a tumble check (DC 20) to immediately stand back up. ! Block: As a standard action, a character can choose to block attacks for 1 round. During this time, any damage that would be dealt to the character is reduced 50% after any adjustments would be made for damage reduction, etc. S- Groove: In this Groove, you have single level gauge that fills up very slowly as you are attacked. However, in this Groove, you also have the ability to manually charge the meter. In addition, this is the only groove to feature the incredibly dangerous, Desperation Mode where one can barrel out techniques without cost when their life is in danger. ! S-Groove Gauge: Very different from the others, the S-groove gauge gains 50% of damage dealt to the character in its pool. In addition, the character may choose to fill the gauge by the following method. A move-action will add 5 to the gauge, a standard action 10, a full attack action 20 and a full round action 40. When using a full round action, the character loses his Dexterity to defense until the start of their next turn. Whenever the character gains a full charge, they gain a +1 bonus to all ability scores for 3 rounds. At the end of the 3rd round, the gauge will completely deplete itself, regardless whether or not an ability was used. ! Dodge: As an immediate action, the character can spend 3 chakra to gain a +3 dodge bonus to defense against a single attack. This ability can be used a number of times per round equal to the characters Dexterity modifier. ! Small Jump: The character treats all jumps as 5ft shorter and incurs no attacks of opportunity from jumping when in threatened squares. ! Counter Attack: While blocking, the character spends 4 points of chakra to perform a counter attack against any character that manages to deal damage to them. This is a normal attack with the characters held weapon, or natural weapon as an immediate action and can only be used once per round. ! Tactical Recovery: Whenever the character is subject to a fall (be it from trip, etc), the character may attempt a tumble check (DC 20) to immediately stand back up. ! Desperation Mode: Whenever the character is reduced to 20% of the maximum health, they enter desperation mode. In this state, the character can use techniques of Rank 2 and below without paying the techniques chakra cost. In addition, the character gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls, defense and saves. When the character completely fills their S-Groove gauge, they can use a 3rd level gauge ability instead of the usual 1st level. The full gauge ability stacks with the benefits offered from Desperation Mode. ! Block: As a standard action, a character can choose to block attacks for 1 round. During this time, any damage that would be dealt to the character is reduced 50% after any adjustments would be made for damage reduction, etc.

N-Groove: In this Groove, you get a single gauge. Upon becoming full, provides you with one Power Stock, and immediately empties to be filled again. You can store up to three Power Stocks. With these stocks, you may do one of a few things. You may use a level 1-gauge ability, you may expend a stock (in conjunction with another) to use a level 3-gauge ability and lastly, a stock may be expended to gain DR/5- for 3 rounds. Like other 3 gauge systems, each stock represents 100 points in the pool. ! N-Groove Gauge: See C-groove gauge. With the exception that while a character has an activated stock ability, damage dealt or received is not added to the pool. ! Run: The character gains an inherent +10ft to their movement. ! Roll: The character gains a permanent +5 morale bonus to Tumble Checks. ! Small Jump: The character treats all jumps as 5ft shorter and incurs no attacks of opportunity from jumping when in threatened squares. ! Counter Movement: At the cost of 1 stock, whenever the character Blocks an attack, they may take a free 5ft step backwards. ! Counter Attack: While blocking, the character spends 4 points of chakra to perform a counter attack against any character that manages to deal damage to them. This is a normal attack with the characters held weapon, or natural weapon as an immediate action and can only be used once per round. ! Safe Fall: Whenever the character is subject to a fall (be it from trip, etc), the character may attempt a tumble check (DC 20) to immediately stand up and hop back 5ft without provoking an attack of opportunity. ! Block: As a standard action, a character can choose to block attacks for 1 round. During this time, any damage that would be dealt to the character is reduced 50% after any adjustments would be made for damage reduction, etc. K-Groove: In this groove, you have one meter (referred to as the Rage Gauge), which fills up as you get attacked. Once it fills completely, you will turn red and experience an increase in offense and defense. During this time, the meter will slowly start to drain, and you will return to normal when it empties. You may also execute a Level 3 gauge ability and drain the meter instantly. The K-Groove also features an exclusive ability known as "Just Defend". ! K-groove gauge: This gauge is only filled when the character is dealt damage or through use of the Just Defend ability. When the rage gauge is completely filled, the character gains a 33% increase to physical damage and a DR/2- for 5 rounds. During this time, points cannot be added to the gauge pool. ! Just Defend: In a fashion similar to Parrying, the character attempts to nullify an opponents attack. An opposed perform check is made for each die of damage dealt by an opponents technique or ability. If successful, the damage is negated and the character heals 1 point of HP. If the attempt is failed by less than 5, the character instead enters the blocking state for the duration of the attack. Just Defending adds 10 to the K-Groove gauge. This ability can be attempted a number of times per round equal to the characters Dexterity modifier and it cannot be used against Mind-Effecting abilities or techniques. ! Special Gauge Ability: A player can choose to expend his Rage gauge in conjunction with a technique to maximize all variable factors of the technique and double the damage. ! Block: As a standard action, a character can choose to block attacks for 1 round. During this time, any damage that would be dealt to the character is reduced 50% after any adjustments would be made for damage reduction, etc.
