## Unique Magic Items

(Schichimen Warrior and the Armored Warrior both have unique items, they can be found in their page of the guide.)

#### Mortal Blade
Greatsword, Legendary (there are two in existence)
___
An odachi capable of slaying the undying. Its crimson blade will take the life of any who dares to draw it. Without the power of resurrection, one could not hope to wield this weapon, which allows one to defeat even undying beings. Long concealed within Senpou Temple of the monks, the blade is inscribed with its true name: “Gracious Gift of Tears.”.

When a creature draws the blade from its sheath, that creature falls dead onto the ground. They cannot be resurrected by any means short of *True Resurrection*, *Wish* or *Divine Dragon's Blood* if they want to return to normal. If they are resurrected by any other means, they now count as an undead creature although receive no benefits from it, they still age as usual and are alive. When the creature dies after drawing the blade, the blade returns to its sheath and falls to the ground in their space.

When a creature who has been killed by the blade draws the sword, they can wield it as normal and may access all of the following properties.

This odachi grants a +3 bonus to Atk and damage rolls made with it.

***Mortal Draw.*** When a creature is reduced to 0hp by this sword they cannot be resurrected by any means short of a *Wish* spell. This also severs ties such as a lich's phylactery or a Naga's reincarnation. This does not however affect greater gods.

**Empowered Mortal Draw.** When a creature lands a critical hit with this weapon or lands an attack on a creature that is unaware of their presence, the attack deals an additional 4d6 necrotic damage that bypasses all resistances and immunities of undead and humanoids.

#### Sake Flask
Wonderous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)
___
This flask is filled with tainted sake. While attuned, a creature may use any of the following features:

***Inhale.*** The creature takes a swig from the flask and holds it in their mouth. If they takes more than 30 damage in one turn while they are holding the sake in their mouth then they must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or spit out the poison immediately as if via the following *Exhale* action but it also targets the creature.

***Exhale.*** While holding sake in their mouth a creature exhales it in a 30ft cone. All creatures in that area must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, on a failed save taking 5d6 Poison damage and becoming poisoned for 1 minute, they may repeat the save at the end of each of their turns ending the poison on a success. A creature that fails the saving throw takes half as much damage.

A creature who drinks from this sake who is not attuned to it treats it as regular alcohol but if they become drunk they also become poisoned.

## Unique Items

#### Flame Thrower
This item requires two hands to wield and when activated as an action it spews fire as if from a *Burning Hands* spell until you use your action to stop it. It requires 5gp worth of oil to allow it to spew flames for 1 minute. It can hold up to 1 minute of flames at a time.

#### Ninja Prosthetic
This tools is a mechanical arm made from rope, a human forearm bone and an iron jointed hand. A creature may make a DC 17 medicine check and 1 hour of time to attacch it to another creature's body as long as they have no arm up to their elbow. A creature can do it to themselves as well with a DC 21 medicine check and a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. Either way the creature that the gear is being attacked to takes 6d6 untyped damage unless they are undead or cannot feel pain.

After it is attached, the prosthetic works just like a normal arm but has the following attachments. The only attachment that the prosthetic usually has is the *Grappling Hand*. Each of the other attachments have a tool or weapon that is required to be attached before using it. To gain a new tool a creature may use 1 minute and a successful DC 10 Intelligence check to attach it. Up to two attachments can be on the arm at the same time and removing a tool is easy and takes 1 action.

Here is the list of Shinobi tools available (Also note you can basically add any light weapon or small tool to the gear in place of the existing ones):
- ***Grappling Hand:*** As an action a creature may shoot their hand at a creature or object within 30ft. If your target an object not being worn or carried and you hit it, you may pull yourself to that location provoking no attacks of opportunity (this also uses your movement). If your target is a creature you may make an attack roll using Dexterity and on a hit you deal normal unarmed damage +1.
- ***Spear:*** This spear folds into the arm and when you make an attack it springs out. If used against a creature who has not seen this before you gain advantage on the attack roll. This attack also has reach and when you hit a medium or smaller creature you may choose to drag them 5ft closer to yourself in a straight line, if they would fall from something or the DM deems it necessary, they may make opposed Strength checks to resist.
- ***Shuriken:*** You load up to 10 shurikens into the arm at once. These shurikens have their range increased by 10ft.
- ***Axe:*** This handaxe is latched onto the arm so it swings back up so its blade sits by your elbow when not being used. When you use it to attack you may ignore AC on another creature granted by its shield.
- ***Firecrackers:*** You may load up to 5 fircrackers at once. When you unleash one of them as an action, they are audible within 300ft and a creature of your choice within 5ft of you make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, on a failed save being stunned until they take damage next or the end of your next turn (whichever comes first).
- ***Flame Vent:*** This tool requires a small bottle or vase, 1 pinch of gunpowder and a match. When unleashed as an action, it blasts fire at a creature within 5ft of you and one other creature within 5ft of your original target. They must both make DC 13 Dexterity saving throws, on a failed save taking 4d6 fire damage or half as much on a successful one. After using this you must use your action to reload before using it again.
- ***Mist Raven:*** This tool requires 5 raven feathers. When you use this as an action, you take the dodge action but when an attack misses you during it, you may use your reaction to move up to your speed provoking no attacks of opportunity.
- ***Iron Umbrella:*** Requires an iron umbrella or a folding shield. While this is out it gives you a +2 bonus to AC since it functions just like a shield.
- ***Sabimaru:*** This requires a shortsword. When used to dual wield, this grants a +1 bonus to both weapon's Atk bonuses.
- ***Finger Whistle:*** This requires a small wooden pipe or whistle. When blown into it creates a note that is audible clearly within 240ft and faintly within 600ft.
- ***Divine Abduction:*** This requires a japanese style folding fan (Gunsen/ Tessen). When used as an action to attack, you may spin a medium or smaller creature around forcing them to make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, on a failed save falling prone.

#### Owl Cloak
This Cloak belongs to the Great Shinobi Owl. It grants a +1 bonus to AC when you are wearing light armor or no armor at all. Additionally when you take fall damage you may reduce the damage taken by 50 points. You must wear the cloak to gain the previous benefits.

## Conditions

**Terror:** A creature immune to the frightened condition is immune to this effect and creatures with advantage on saving against fear have advantage on saving throws against terror. When affected by Terror you are paralyzed (creatures immune to paralysis have no resistance against this) until another creature uses its action to shake it awake or the affected creature takes damage other than psychic damage.

## Armored Warrior
*(Very little official lore exists on this character)*
___

The Armored warrior wears the heaviest armor ever, it is impregnable to all forms of attack. One would wonder how do even defeat such a foe? His only goal is to save his son, but from what? No one knows.

#### Impregnable Armor
Armor (plate), Legendary (unique) (requires attunement)
___
This armor completely covers your entire body, giving you only the smallest slits to see through. It is made from the sturdiest metal of all time, not even magic can damage you through it.

This armor grants a +3 bonus to your AC while wearing the armor.

**Impregnable Plate.** While wearing this plate armor you are immune to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing damage. You are resistant to fire and radiant damage.

**Heavy Metal.** While wearing this plate your movement speed is halves and you cannot swim or fly. You fall twice as fast and sink 15ft each round in the water. For someone to lift you it requires a DC 20 Strength check.

**Unmoving Wall.** You automatically fail Dexterity saving throws and Dexterity based checks. You also cannot jump.

___

The Armored Warrior is a *Knight* with the armor above.

## Blazing Bull
The Blazing Bull is the realized version of an insane war tactic. The bull constantly follows the flame on its face and doesn't discriminate against friend or foe. It will run rampant and destroy all things, to say this creature is dangerous is an understatement.

**Sakura Bull:** When a blazing bull is killed by its own flame, it goes to the astral plane to live out its days in peace. It still has a knack for destroying anything that moves though... So just don't approach it, even if its flames appear as sakura pedals that gently float like flames.

## Chained Ogre
This ogre has been driven rather insane, he has been tortured by none other than Genichiro and has had his strength drastically boosted. But power always comes at a cost and he is now terrified of fire.

The troops of Ashina fear this ogre just as much as their enemies do, since if enraged, it kills indescriminately.

## Divine Dragon
(Very little official lore currently exists on this character)
___

The Divine Dragon can be found at the very peak of the fountainhead mountain in his own plane of existence. Very little is known about him as a deity but it is said that with his blessing, can come immortality.

**Blood of the Dragon:** The Dragon can bestow a blessing of immortality onto a creature but it is very very hesitant and careful to do so. This gift allows for the chosen creature to return to life at dawn if they are killed as long as they have a soul. They return with 1 hit point and with no benefits of a rest. If their body is mangled and destroyed then it grows new limbs, heads, etc so as to assume its most natural form.

To receive this blessing you also take on a physical scar like a large burn mark somewhere on your body. A creature also needs a Constitution score of at least 15 and a Charisma score of at least 15 to receive the gift.

#### Regional Effects
The demiplane that the Divine Dragon resides has the following effects inside of it's seemingly limitless boundaries:
- The ground in the are is covered in fog that completely conceals the ground, even if wind pushes it away the ground only appears to be more mist and clouds.
- All creatures that die in this area do not go to an afterlife no matter who has the rights to their soul, instead they are suspended and when revived, feel as if they have just been killed not even seconds ago.
- The weather in this are cannot be changed and is always a perfect peaceful breeze, bright blue sky and a cool temperature. The only time this changes is when the Divine Dragon is in combat in which case he can control the weather.

#### Lair Actions
The entire demiplane that the Divine Dragon inhabits is his lair and in it he may take any one of the actions below on initiative count 20 (losing all initiative ties). The same action may not be taken two rounds in a row.
- **Summon Dragons of the Tree:** The Divine Dragon summons 1d8 +4 Dragons of the Tree to unoccupied spaces that he can see.
- **Rose Petal Wind:** All creatures in the demiplane must make a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw, on a failed save being put to sleep for 1 minute. The creature wakes when a creature uses its action to shake them awake or when they take damage.
- **Call Lightning:** The Divine Dragon casts *Call Lightning* 9th level but the range of the spell becomes 600ft within line of sight.
- **Rising Root:** The Divine Dragon summons 1d4 5ft wide, 15ft tall wooden root in unoccupied spaces within 600ft of himself. Any Dragons of the Tree within 15ft of these roots recover 1d10 +7 HP at the start of each of their turns. Additionally all Dragons of the Tree within 10ft of the root are under the effect of a *Sanctuary* spell.

\columnbreak

### Dragons of the Tree
The Dragons of the Tree are creatures created from the roots of the Divine Dragon's tree. They live only to serve him and apart from that have no personality of their own. These creatures rise up from the ground through the mist at the Divine Dragon's will.

A frightened creature who fails the saving throw is instead affected by the Terror condition.
> - It may take the *Fear Ribbons* action as a legendary action (Costs 2 actions).

\columnbreak

> **Variant:** ***Radiant Poison.*** When 30 or more radiant damage is dealt to the Headless in one turn the *Smoky Haze* feature is deactivated until the start of the Headless's next turn. If it is invisible thanks to its *Hazy Step* then it becomes visible as well.

Headless often wait in caves or dark areas prefering to wait for their prey to come to them although some of them will go in search of their targets. The ones that venture out will only do so under the cover of darkness and retreat long before the sun comes up so as to not get caught in sunlight.

Some headless find locations undersea where they never have to worry about sunlight, downsides include a lack of their smoky haze so.... to each their own I suppose.

**Spells:** While attuned to the spear each time a creature finishes a long rest they may add 1 of the following spells to their spell list permanently (even if it is of a level of spell that they cannot yet learn). Roll a d20 to determine what spell is chosen although no spell can be chosen twice (reroll duplicates).
|D10|Spell|
|:-:|:-:|
|1-5| Armor of Agathys
|6-7| Darkness
|8-9| Hex
|10-11| Misty Step
|12-13| Speak with Dead
|14-15| Revivify
|16-17| *Wreath of Terror*
|18-19| *Screams of Pain*
|20| *Beam of Darkness*

This effect has no effect on creatures without a spell list and the Identify spell cannot detect what spells this spear can teach you.

## Shikibu Tochikatsu Yamauchi
(very little official lore currently exists on this character)
___
This samurai is a renowned master of the omi yari. The spear he wields was creafted long ago and passed down to him from his forefathers. Shikibu believes not in the magic that the world around him uses but in his own might and the might and loyalty of those fighting beside him.

**Seven Spears:** The seven spears are the seven most renowned and powerful samurai in the land he is from. This title is nothing to laugh at and should you cross him he can make you regret it with ease.

> You may also use this stat block for *Shume Masaji Oniwa*. He is another of the seven spears and practices the same styles and arts.

> ___
>
> ***Samurai Stances.*** Shikibu practices three special stances that he uses often. Once per round at the start or end of his turn Shikibu may switch stances. They are as follows:
>
> - *Point First:* Shikibu holds his spear forwards and readies himself for the offensive and defensive. He gains a +2 bonus to AC and damage rolls.
>
> - *Behind the Back:* Shikibu holds his spear in one hand half behind himself readying himself to go all out offensive. When a creature hits him with an attack he may use his reaction to make one *Omi Yari* attack against them as well.
>
> - *Overhead:* Shikibu raises his spear above his head lessening his defense and opening himself up for powerful swings. His AC decreases by 1 but he now lands a critical hit on a 19 or 20. He cannot use *Sweep* in this stance.
>
> ### Bonus Actions
>
> ***Seal of the Seven.*** Shikibu Yamauchi is one of the seven spears, he commands respect wherever he goes and what he says can compel others to obey and stir his allies into moving. He can command one ally that can hear him to move up to their speed and make one weapon attack.
>
> ### Actions
>
> ***Omi Yari.*** *Melee weapon attack:* +12 to hit, Reach 15ft, one target. *Hit:* 33 (4d12 +7) Piercing damage. 
>
> ***Sweep:*** All creatures within 15ft of himself must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, on a failed save taking 26 (3d12 +7) SLashing damage and being knocked prone, on a successful save taking half as much damage and not being knocked prone. If two or more creatures fail the saving throw then as a bonus action, Shikibu may make one *Omi Yari* attack at advantage against a proned creature within range immediately.
>
> ***Thrust:*** Shikibu makes an attack against three creatures in a 15ft line. If a creature fails the saving throw then the creatures behind him do not get targeted by the attack. On a hit a creature takes 39 (5d12 +7) Piercing damage and is restrained because they become impaled on the spear. As an action an impaled creature may attempt to free themselves with a DC 15 Strength check. On a failed check they take 13 (2d12) Slashing damage and are still restrained and on a successful check a creature takes 26 (4d12) Slashing damage and is no longer restrained.  
> If a creature becomes retrained in this way, as a bonus action Shikibu may make one *Omi Yari* attack against that creature at advantage. When an *Omi Yari* or *Sweep* attack is made then the creature is no longer restrained and is now prone on the ground.
