Introduction
The Naruto 5e supplement is a ruleset to adjust the gameplay of Dungeons & Dragons in 5th Edition to create an experience similar to the Naruto Universe. The base rules and mechanics are still the same as the original product, but several changes (both large and small) have been made in order to fit with the authentic Naruto universe.
The changes are illustrated here and broken down chapter by chapter.
Chapter 1: Step-By-Step Character
Adjusted to fit the new setting using the Naruto 5e Bloodlines and Classes.
Chapter 2: Creating a Shinobi
Races have been reskinned to Bloodlines, which have been newly created for this supplement.
Chapter 3: Choose a Class
In total, there are seven classes: Ninjutsu Specialist, Genjutsu Specialist, Taijutsu Specialist, Warrior-Nin, Medical-Nin, Hunter-Nin and Jinchuriki.
Most of them were based off of classes from the original source, although some have a much heavier basis than others. Ninjutsu Specialist was heavily inspired by Sorcerer, Taijustu Specialist by Monk, Warrior-Nin by Fighter and Hunter-Nin by a mix of Rogue and Ranger. The Genjutsu Specialist took inspiration from a wide variety of sources, and the Medical-Nin was more of a mix between Paladin and our own ideas for the class.
All classes provide a new resource, Chakra, which is calculated in the same way hit points are. Chakra is used by almost all cases in regards to Jutsu and you can regain Chakra during short or long rests in the same way you regain hit points. You gain Chakra Die as you level in the same way you gain hit die. When you level, you either roll your Chakra die + your constitution modifier to gain more chakra, or you take the average + your constitution modifier to gain more chakra.
Chapter 4: Backgrounds
The backgrounds were mostly reskinned from the original content, but I took inspiration from the new Strixhaven backgrounds to grant the backgrounds a more active role in the game through providing access to abilities depending on which one you selected.
Chapter 5: Equipment
Currency has been adjusted from gp to Ryo. Equipment had a massive overhaul due to differences in the Naruto universe, but many of which were reskins of existing weapons. Chakra Blades were added.
1. Step-By-Step Characters
Your first step in playing an adventurer in the Dungeons and Dragons game is to imagine and create a character of your own. Your character is a combination of game statistics, roleplaying hooks, and your imagination. You choose a Bloodline (such as Hyūga or Uchiha) and a class (such as Taijutsu Specialist or Warrior-Nin). You also invent the personality, appearance, and backstory of your character. Once completed, your character serves as your representative in the game, your avatar in the Naruto Universe.
Before you dive into step 1 below, think about the kind of shinobi you want to play. You might be a courageous swordsman, a skulking assassin, adept medical personnel, or a cruel Hunter-Nin. Or you might be more interested in an unconventional character, such as a Buff Medical-Nin who likes hand-to-hand combat, or a scrawny Swordsman who uses 2 Great swords. Do you like mixed Clan Characters? Try building a character who is a product of two opposing clans. Do you want your character to be the toughest shinobi at the table? Consider the Taijutsu Specialist class. If you don’t know where else to begin, take a look at the illustrations in any Naruto Manga or picture to see what catches your interest.
Once you have a character in mind, follow these steps in order, making decisions that reflect the character you want. Your conception of your character might evolve with each choice you make. What’s important is that you come to the table with a character you’re excited to play. Throughout this section, we use the term character sheet to mean whatever you use to track your character, whether it’s a formal character sheet, some form of digital record, or a piece of notebook paper.
Building Sasuke Uchiha
Each step of character creation includes an example of that step, with the player building the iconic character Sasuke Uchiha, as he is portrayed during the events of Season 1/Volume 1.
1. Choose a Bloodline
Every character belongs to a Bloodline, one of the many prominent and featured families of people, who make up the world of Naruto. The most common and numerous clans in the Naruto universe ironically is the custom lineage, people with no distinct family background, attempting to make a name for themselves and potentially creating a clan for their future generations to flourish through.
The Creating a Shinobi chapter provides more information about these Bloodlines. The bloodline you choose contributes to your character’s identity in an important way, by establishing a general background and history to draw from as well as the natural talents gained from culture and ancestry.
Your character’s clan grants particular special traits, such as special traits (Ex. Sharingan, Byakugan), proficiency with certain weapons or tools, proficiency in one or more skills, or additional jutsu to take advantage of from your clans’ repertoire of secret techniques.
Your Bloodline also increases one or more of your ability scores, which you determine in step 3. Note these increases and remember to apply them later. Record the traits granted by your bloodline on your character sheet. Be sure to note your starting your base speed as well.
Building Sasuke Uchiha, Step 1
Since Sasuke is an Uchiha, we recored all of the special traits of an Uchiha on our character sheet, including his speed of 30 ft. and his proficiencies.
2. Choose a Class
Every shinobi posesses a class. A class broadly describes a character’s vocation, what special talents he or she possesses, and the tactics he or she is most likely to employ when exploring a city, fighting enemies, or engaging in a tense negotiation. The character classes are described in the Classes chapter.
Your character receives a number of benefits from your choice of class. Many of these benefits are class features - capabilities that set your character apart from members of other classes. You also gain a number of proficiencies: armor, weapons, skills, saving throws, and sometimes tools. Your proficiencies define many of the things your character can do particularly well, from using certain weapons to telling a convincing lie.
On your character sheet, record all the features that your class gives you at 1st level.
Level
Typically, a character starts at 1st level and advances in level by adventuring and gaining experience points (XP). A 1st-level character is inexperienced in the shinobi world, although he or she might have done dangerous things before generally they are inexperienced to deal with the threats an experienced shinobi would be tasked to handle.
Starting off at 1st level marks your character’s entry into the ninja life. If you’re already familiar with the game, or if you are joining an existing D&D campaign, your GM might decide to have you begin at a higher level, on the assumption that your character has already survived a few harrowing missions.
Record your level on your character sheet. If you’re starting at a higher level, record the additional elements your class gives you for your level’s past 1st. Also record your experience points. A 1st-level character has 0 XP. A higher-level character typically begins with the minimum amount of XP required to reach that level (see “Beyond 1st Level” later in this section.)
Building Sasuke Uchiha, Step 2
From a young age, Sasuke Uchiha was very talented at using jutsu techniques that were above his level, and thus he is a Ninjutsu Specialist. We make note of the Ninjutsu Specialist's proficiencies and 1st-level class features on our character sheet.
At 1st level, Sasuke has 1 Hit Die, a d6, and 1 Chakra Die, a d12. He starts with hit points equal to 6 + his Constitution modifier and chakra points equal to 12 + his constitution modifier. Make a note of this; we will record the final number after we determine Sasuke Constitution score (see step 3). Also make a note of the proficiency bonus for a 1st-level character, which is +2.
Hit/Chakra Points & Dice
Your character’s hit points define how tough your character is in combat and other dangerous situations. Your hit points are determined by your Hit Dice (short for Hit Point Dice). Your characters chakra points define how much stamina your character has and how many jutsu and other special abilities they can pull off before they run out of steam in and out of combat. Your chakra points are determined by your Chakra Dice (short for Chakra point Dice.)
At 1st level, your character has 1 Hit Die & Chakra Die and the die type for each is determined by your class. You start with hit points and chakra points equal to the highest roll of those respective die, as indicated in your class description. (You also add your Constitution modifier, which you’ll determine in step 3.) This is also your hit or chakra point maximum.
Record your character’s hit & chakra points on your character sheet. Also record the type of Hit Die & Chakra Die your character uses and the number of both Dice you have. After you rest, you can spend your hit die to regain hit points and your chakra die to regain chakra points (see “Resting” in the Adventuring section).
Proficiency Bonus
The table that appears in your class description shows your proficiency bonus, which is +3 for a 1st-level character. Your proficiency bonus applies to many of the numbers you’ll be recording on your character sheet:
- Attack rolls using weapons you’re proficient with
- Attack rolls with jutsu you cast
- Ability checks using skills you’re proficient in
- Ability checks using tools you’re proficient with
- Saving throws you’re proficient in
- Saving throw DCs for jutsu you cast (explained in each class)
Your class determines your weapon proficiencies, your saving throw proficiencies, and some of your skill and tool proficiencies. Your Bloodline gives you additional skill and tool proficiencies. Be sure to note all of these proficiencies, as well as your proficiency bonus, on your character sheet.
Your proficiency bonus can’t be added to a single die roll or other number more than once. Occasionally, your proficiency bonus might be modified (doubled or halved, for example) before you apply it. If a circumstance suggests that your proficiency bonus applies more than once to the same roll or that it should be multiplied more than once, you nevertheless add it only once, multiply it only once, and halve it only once.
3. Determine Ability Scores
Much of what your character does in the game depends on his or her six abilities: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
Each ability has a score, which is a number you record on your character sheet. The six abilities and their use in the game are described in the Using Ability Scores chapter. To generate your character’s six ability scores, you would use the following set of scores; 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8.
This is called the Standard Array. Using this set of scores allows you to generate a character who can specialize in something while also presenting flaws that they can grow from. This presents a well-rounded character with both strengths and weaknesses.
If you prefer a more randomized approach you can instead Roll four 6-sided dice and record the total of the highest three dice or use the Point Buy system, but I will not explain either of those methods here.
After assigning your ability scores, determine your ability modifiers using the Ability Scores and Modifiers table. To determine an ability modifier without consulting the table, subtract 10 from the ability score and then divide the result by 2 (round down). Write the modifier next to each of your scores.
Ability Scores and Modifers
Ability Score | Modifier |
---|---|
1 | -5 |
2-3 | -4 |
4-5 | -3 |
6-7 | -2 |
8-9 | -1 |
10-11 | 0 |
12-13 | +1 |
14-15 | +2 |
d8 | Loot |
---|---|
16-17 | +3 |
18-19 | +4 |
20-21 | +5 |
22-23 | +6 |
23-25 | +7 |
26-27 | +8 |
28-29 | +9 |
30 | +10 |
Building Sasuke Uchiha, Step 3
We will use the Standard Array scores (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) for Sasuke's abilities. Sasuke is very clever and studious so we'll place his highest score, 15, in Intelligence. His next highest, 14, in Constitution. He applies the 13 to Strength, 12 to Charisma, 10 to Dexterity and the 8 to Wisdom.
After applying his Bloodline's benefits, (+1 to Strength from being an Uchiha and we'll assign the +2 to his Intelligence), Sasuke's ability scores and modifiers look like this:
Strength: 14 (+2)
Dexterity: 12 (+1)
Constitution: 14 (+2)
Intelligence: 17 (+3)
Wisdom: 10 (+0)
Charisma: 8 (-1)
We then fill in Sasuke's final hit points: 6 + his constitution modifier of +2, for a total of 8 hit points.
We finally fill in Sasuke's chakra points: 12 + his constitution modifier of +2, for a total of 14 chakra points.
Describe Your Character
Once you know the basic game aspects of your character, it’s time to flesh him or her out as a person. Your character needs a name. Spend a few minutes thinking about what he or she looks like and how he or she behaves in general terms.
Using the information in chapter 4, you can flesh out your characters personality traits and background. Your character’s background describes where he or she came from and the type of life they lived before becoming a shinobi, and the character’s place in the Naruto world. Similar to normal D&D, selecting a background does provide mechanical benefits such as skill proficiencies. In Naruto 5e, backgrounds also give you the option of selecting one of a few feat options.
It also does provide a base for how they approach situations and might act when confronted with unique challenges in the game.
Your Characters Abilities
Take your character’s ability scores and Bloodline into account as you flesh out his or her appearance and personality. A very strong character with low Intelligence might think and behave very differently from a very smart character with low Strength.
For example, high Strength usually corresponds with a burly or athletic body, while a character with low Strength might be scrawny or plump.
A character with high Dexterity is probably light and slim, while a character with low Dexterity might be either gangly and awkward or heavy and thick-fingered.
A character with high Constitution usually looks healthy, with bright eyes and abundant energy. A character with low Constitution might be sickly or frail.
A character with high Intelligence might be highly inquisitive and studious, while a character with low Intelligence might speak simply or easily forget details.
A character with high Wisdom has good judgment, empathy, and a general awareness of what’s going on. A character with low Wisdom might be absent-minded, foolhardy, or oblivious.
A character with high Charisma exudes confidence, which is usually mixed with a graceful or intimidating presence. A character with a low Charisma might come across as abrasive, inarticulate, or timid.
Building Sasuke Uchiha, Step 4
We then fill in some of Sasuke's basic details: his name, his sex (male), his height and his weight.
- His high Intelligence represents his knowledge about Ninjutsu techniques and his studious nature.
- His high Constitution represents his high chakra reserves.
- His high Charisma represents his confidence and intimidating nature.
Sasuke is a member of the Uchiha clan, allowing him to awaken the Sharingan and giving him a high chance of developing the Uchiha's Curse of Hatred, heavily influencing his personality. We know that Sasuke is a loner, but he got a lot of attention due to his Bloodline and was often respected and treated quite well by those that recognized his Clan. For that reason, we will choose the Noble background. Take note of the proficiencies and the special features granted by his background.
5. Choose Equipment
Your class and background determines your character’s starting equipment, including weapons, armor, and other shinobi gear. Record this equipment on your character sheet. All such items are detailed in the Equipment section.
Armor Class
Your Armor Class (AC) represents how well your character avoids being wounded in battle. Things that contribute to your AC include the armor you wear, your Dexterity modifier & how proficient you have become through experience. Not all character’s wear armor however.
Your character’s base unarmored AC equals 10 + his/her Dexterity modifier. Characters with armor can get a higher base (see Chapter 5: Equipment). Record your AC on your character sheet.
Your character needs to be proficient with armor to wear and use them effectively, and your armor proficiencies are determined by your class. There are drawbacks to wearing armor if you lack the required proficiency, as explained in the Equipment section.
Some Jutsu and class features give you a different way to calculate your AC. If you have multiple features that give you different ways to calculate your AC, you choose which one to use.
Weapons
For each weapon your character wields, calculate the modifier you use when you attack with the weapon and the damage you deal when you hit. When you make an attack with a weapon, you roll a d20 and add your proficiency bonus (if you are proficient) and the appropriate ability modifier.
- For attacks with melee weapons, use your Strength modifier for the attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the finesse property, such as a Katana, can use your Dexterity modifier instead.
- For attacks with ranged weapons, use your Dexterity modifier for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the thrown property, such as Senbon, can use your Strength modifier instead.
Building Sasuke Uchiha, Step 5
We will now write down the starting equipment for the Ninjutsu Specialist class. As a Ninjutsu Specialist, Sasuke is not proficient in any armor and so his final AC will be 10 + his dexterity modifer (+1), 11.
For his equipment, Sasuke is seen using both Kunai and Shuriken at some point in the series. Both are able to use either his Strength or Dexterity modifier as the Kunai is a melee weapon and the Shuriken is Thrown. Since Sasuke has a higher Strength than Dexterity, we will have him use his Strength in both of these cases.
6. Choose your Jutsu
Your class determines how many jutsu your character knows at 1st level, and how many chakra natures you will gain access to as you level. Some clans also provide you with an additional list of jutsu you can pull from just for being a part of the given clan.
Jutsu Rank
Every Jutsu has a Rank from E-Rank to S-Rank. A Jutsu’s Rank is a general indicator of how powerful it is, with a lowly burst of speed at E-Rank and the powerful explosion at S-Rank.
E-Rank Jutsu are simple but effective techniques that characters can cast almost passively. They are lowest ranked and the simplest in design and function. The higher a Jutsu’s Rank, the higher Level a Shinobi must be to use that Jutsu. Jutsu Rank and character level don’t correspond directly. Typically, a character has to be at least 17th level, not 6th level, to cast an S-Ranked Jutsu.
Jutsu Known
Before a shinobi can use a jutsu, he or she must have the jutsu learned, or must have access to the jutsu in a chakra item. Once a jutsu is learned, it is always prepared.
In Naruto 5e, there are no limits as to the maximum number of jutsu you are permitted to learn, but for each jutsu you learn after the ones you begin with as a part of your class, you must spend down time in the game to actively practice and learn them (see Chapter 10: Learning & Creating Jutsu).
Building Sasuke Uchiha, Step 6
We will now write down the Starting Jutsu that Sasuke would have as as he starts his journey as a Shinobi.
As a Ninjutsu Specialist, Sasuke may select 3 E-Rank Jutsu and 1 D-Rank Jutsu that he knows. Sasuke is able to use Fire style techniques, allowing him to select jutsu from the Fire Release Jutsu List.
Substitution Jutsu (E-Rank): Sasuke uses this quite freely early in the series to avoid taking any nasty damage.
Transformation Technique (E-Rank): Back in the academy, when the students were tested on their transformation techniques, Sasuke's was the most well executed in the class.
Rope Escape Technique (E-Rank): Towards the very beginning of the series, Naruto tied Sasuke up with ropes and then used the transformation technique to disguise himself as Sasuke. Sasuke used the Rope Escape Technique to get out of the binds.
Phoenix Flower Jutsu (D-Rank): Sasuke practiced this technique immensely growing up, as it is heavily used in the Uchiha clan.
This is the final build for Sasuke (Level 1).
7. Bring it All Together
Most Naruto characters don’t work alone. Each character plays a role within a party, a group of shinobi working together for a common purpose. Teamwork and cooperation greatly improve your party’s chances to survive the many perils in the lands of the Naruto World. Talk to your fellow players and your GM to decide whether your characters know one another, how they met, and what sorts of missions the group might undertake.
Beyond 1st level
As your character goes on missions and overcomes challenges, he or she gains experience, represented by experience points. A character who reaches a specified Experience point total advances in capability. This advancement is called gaining a level.
Class Features, Hit Dice & Chakra Dice
When your character gains a level, his or her class often grants additional features, as detailed in the class description. Some of these features allow you to increase your ability scores, either increasing two scores by 1 each or increasing one score by 2. You can’t increase an ability score above 20. In addition, every character’s proficiency bonus increases at certain levels.
Each time you gain a level, you gain 1 additional Hit & Chakra Die. Roll both of those Die, add your Constitution modifier to the rolls separately, and add the total to your hit point & Chakra point maximums respectively. Alternatively, you can use the fixed value shown in your class entry, which is the average result of the die roll (rounded up).
2. Creating a Shinobi
"You’re wrong, that’s not what makes a shinobi. You never did get it, a real ninja is one who endures no matter what gets thrown at him… Let me explain something to you, there is only one thing that matters if you are a shinobi, and it isn’t the number of jutsu you possess. All you do need, is the guts to never give up.''
— Jiraiya
What is a Shinobi?
Most Shinobi, or ninja, come from a hidden village, of which some come from specialised ninja clans, and will perform missions for a fee. These missions can include: doing manual labour, acting as escorts, gathering secret information, retrieving stolen items, carrying out assassinations, etc. In times of war, ninja will come together to defend their villages and land. The clearest characteristic of a shinobi is their ability to manipulate chakra to create and use techniques. Shinobi are expected to be loyal to their villages for life, and any defectors are considered to be missing-nin, and will be marked for death.
Shinobi Traits
Your Shinobi character has the following racial traits.
Ability Score Increase. An ability score of your choice increases by +2.
Age. Shinobi reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century. Due to their dangerous occupation, many die young.
Alignemnt. Shinobi tend towards no particular alignment. The best and worst are found among them.
Size. Shinobi vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages. You can speak, read and write Common, and the language spoken in the country in which your character resides (or hails from).
Bloodline. Shinobi band together with their kin to create clans. They often share a common strength in combat and pass down sacred techniques from one generation to the next. Choose a Bloodline.
Bloodlines
A clan refers to a family or group of shinobi who form a basic unit of a shinobi village. A majority of these clans were mercenary military forces even before the First Shinobi World War. The Senju clan and Uchiha clan were the first known clans to have agreed to settle and form a shinobi village, facilitated by creating agreements with the daimyō of the land they inhabit.
Your Bloodline affects many different aspects of your character. It establishes fundamental qualities that exist throughout your character’s shinobi career. When making this decision, keep in mind the kind of character you want to play.
Bloodline Prestiges & Jutsu Lists
While some Clans in the Narutoverse are known for specific jutsu or kekkei genkai releases, others focus primarily around a dojutsu or an ability that holds more of a progression system.
To help bridge this gap, we created the Bloodline Prestige. Some clans, instead of having access to a jutsu list of techniques known only by their clan, have a Bloodline Prestige. These clans are granted abilities as they hit certain levels, following a natural form of progression that is needed for their abilities to function. An excellent example of such would be the Uchiha clan, and the progression of the Sharingan.
Other clans hold a variety of versatility due to their expansive jutsu lists. Hypothetically, a clan member could learn every jutsu on that list if they spent enough time doing so. A few clans that focus primarily on a custom jutsu, for example, would be the Akichimi, the Nara and the Yamanaka.
Most clans fit into one of these two cases, but once and a while there is an exception. In the case of the Hyuga, the Byakugan does require some elements of progression - but the Hyuga clan also has many custom techniques. In these circumstances, a clan will be given both a Jutsu List and a Bloodline Prestige - but the Bloodline Prestige will not have as many benefits as a clan without a Jutsu list. The Hyuga Clan's bloodline prestige grants the Byakugan, allowing them to see chakra in a specific range that expands as they level, but they do not gain any other benefits from it.
NOTE: Levels listed with Prestige Bloodlines are suggestions as to approximately what level your character be when it is unlocked, but you and your DM are welcome to make Prestiges more story-based, with progression being unlocked in tense encounters that could cause a story reason for increasing their powers.

Custom Lineage
Your clan is one that does not originate from the original Narutoverse, and that's okay! You get to design your clan's background and story. Remember to consider which nation your clan originates from, and if there is a particular fighting style that they prefer to use - even if your character doesn't tend to follow in their footsteps.
Other things to consider: does your clan prefer a particular style of jutsu (Ex: Uchiha and their use of Fire Style techniques)? Does their unique fighting style grant them any types of clan-exclusive jutsu (Ex: Yamanaka and their mind-reading techniques)? Talk to your Dungeon Master in determining what role your clan has in the ninja world, whether they're well-regarded for their history of powerful ninja or they're a civilian family and you're the kid determined to change that fact.

Clan members often carry additional insects in jars or gourds with them on missions. Insects can leave and enter their host's body through various pores, feeding on chakra as a food source.

Uzumaki

As part of the so-called "Curse of Hatred" first displayed by Indra, Uchiha are subject to powerful emotions: these emotions typically start as love for a friend or family member that then become overpowering hatred when the object of their love is lost.

Yuki Clan
Members of the Yuki Clan hailed from the Land of Water. Some time ago, the country was in the midst of a civil war. In this war, different sides battled each other using ninja in combat, some of whom possessed kekkei genkai, the members of the Yuki Clan being some of these people. After the war ended, memories of the gruesome battles still lingered in the minds of the people, causing wide-spread persecutions against those with the kekkei genkai.
Members of the Yuki Clan, who wielded Ice Release, were forced to go into their hiding for their own safety. Many years after the civil war, prejudice against kekkei genkai wielders has lessened and members of the fallen clan have begun to come out of hiding after their scattering. Holders of Ice Release are still often referred to as "cursed".

3. Classes
Shinobi are extraordinary people, driven by a thirst for excitement into a life that others would never dare lead. They are heroes, compelled to explore the dark places of the world and take on the challenges that lesser women and men can’t stand against.
Class is the primary definition of what your character can do. It’s more than a profession; it’s your character’s calling. Class shapes the way you think about the world and interact with it and your relationship with other people and powers in the world. Your class gives you a variety of special features, determining what your character is good at. Each class entry in this chapter includes a table summarizing the benefits you gain at every level and a detailed explanation of each one.

When the mirror image is effected by a jutsu, the original creature will also receive the same effects as long as they are within the same plane of existence.

Once the mirror image has been effected by a jutsu or an attack of any kind, the mirror image shatters and can no longer be used.
A mirror image can last a number of days equal to your Genjutsu Specialist level, but you can never have more than one made at a time.

Inspiration
Beginning at 1st level, you can inspire others through stirring words. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Inspiration die, a d6.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes.

You may use another bonus action to end the effect. If you are knocked unconscious or dropped to 0 hit points, the Touch of Death will end automatically.

While in this form, you have cast aside your humanity and are unable to receive healing by any means. Any healing you grant others is doubled, but you take a number of damage equal to half of the hit points restored.

Ninjutsu is the most commonly used technique in the Shinobi world, but almost no two ninja utilize it in the same way.

Your style of Ninjutsu has a massive effect on your abilities and your fighting style.
School of the Artificer
You are the start of the future - technology bursting into an era without. While other Shinobi focus on refining their jutsu techniques, you focus on refining your weapons - upgrading them and making them stronger than ever before. While the rest of the ninja stay traditional and inside their protective bubbles of normalness, you shatter them to create all new technological items that no one has seen before. When you take this subclass at 1st level, you gain proficiency in 5 tool kits of your choice.
Chakra Blades

Chakra Tinkering
At 1st level, you've learned how to invest a spark of chakra into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny object as an action and give it one of the following chakra properties of your choice:
-
The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
-
Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
-
The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
-
A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.
The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early. You can bestow chakra on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Jutsu modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

At 3rd level, your proficiency bonus is now doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool.
Steel Defender

- Hit Points 2 + your Jutsu modifier + 5 times your artificer level (the defender has a number of Hit Dice [d8s] equal to your artificer level)
- Speed 40 ft. Walking
STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 14 (+2) 12 (+1) 14 (+2) 4 (-3) 10 (+0) 6 (-2)

Vigilant. The defender can't be surprised.
Actions
Force-Empowered Rend. Melee Weapon Attack: your jutsu attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target you can see. Hit: 1d8 + PB force damage.
Repair (3/day). The magical mechanisms inside the defender restore 2d8 + PB hit points to itself or to one construct or object within 5 feet of it.
Reactions
Deflect Attack. The defender imposes disadvantage on the attack roll of one creature it can see that is within 5 feet of it, provided the attack roll is against a creature other than the defender.
Flash of Genius
Beginning at 6th level, you've gained the ability to come up with solutions under pressure. When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an ability check or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to add your Jutsu modifier to the roll.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Jutsu modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Supercharge
When you reach 9th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
Steel Defender
At 14th level, your tinkering has borne you a faithful companion, a steel defender. It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Steel Defender stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus in several places. You determine the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
If the Chakra Fuse jutsu is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend 5 Chakra. The steel defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.
Improved Defender
At 18th level, steel defender becomes more powerful:
You have 8 points that you may allocate to your steel defender in any way you wish.
Your steel defender gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class.

- Earth Style: Rock Lobber
- Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu
- Lightning Style: Shocking Bolt
- Water Style: Water Pellet
- Wind Style: Air Bullets
By expending half of the chakra required for the technique (rounded up), you may have the selected jutsu cast from the puppet's location. This can only be done once per day. At 4th level, you may cast this jutsu up to three times per day by spending 2 additional upgrade points.
This upgrade can be selected more than once. Each time an Puppet selects this upgrade, it applies to a new jutsu.
• Bite: An Puppet’s maw is full of razor-sharp teeth, giving it a bite attack. The bite deals 1d6 points of piercing damage (1d8 if Large, 2d6 if Huge).
• Claws: An Puppet has a pair of vicious claws at the end of its limbs, giving it a claw attack. The claws deal 1d4 points of slashing damage (1d6 if Large, 1d8 if Huge). The Puppet must have the limb upgrade to take this upgrade. This upgrade can be selected more than once, but the Puppet must possess an equal number of the limbs upgrade.
• Climb: An Puppet becomes a skilled climber, gaining a climb speed equal to its base speed. This upgrade can be selected more than once. Each additional time it is selected, increase the Puppet’s climb speed by 5 feet.
• Hooves: An Puppet has a pair of sharp hooves at the end of its limbs, giving it a hoof attack. The hooves deal 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage (1d6 if Large, 1d8 if Huge). The Puppet must have the limb upgrade to take this upgrade. Alternatively, the Puppet can replace the claws upgrade from its base form with these hoof attacks (this still costs 1 upgrade point).
• Improved Damage: One of the Puppet’s natural attacks is particularly deadly. Select one natural attack form and increase the damage die type by one step. This upgrade can be selected more than once. Its effects do not stack. Each time a Puppet selects this upgrade, it applies to a different natural attack.
• Improved Natural Armor: You enhance your puppet with thick fur, rigid scales or bony plates, giving it a +2 bonus to its natural armor (AC). This upgrade can be taken once beginning at 1st level, once again at 6th level, once at 11th level and once starting at 16th level.

Jinchūriki
At 1st level, a tailed beast was sealed inside you utilizing one of many sealing techniques depending on the village you hail from. Select a tailed beast for which you are the Jinchūriki from the list below. Only one Jinchūriki can exist for each tailed beast.
Unlike the average Shinobi, you have not only your own Chakra but the Chakra reserves of a tailed beast. Beginning at 1st level, you have a second set of Chakra Dice belonging to your tailed beast known as Beast Dice made up of d12. These Chakra reserves are calculated the same way as your Chakra Dice at 1st and later levels.
When you use a Jutsu or ability that requires Chakra and you do not have enough Chakra in your own reserves to execute it, you may pull the remaining Chakra needed from your Tailed beast.
Using Tailed Beast Chakra is not without consequences, however. When you use Tailed Beast Chakra, you must make a Wisdom Save against a DC 10 + half the Tailed Beast Chakra expended (minimum of 1). On a fail, the ability or jutsu that triggered the Wisdom Save goes awry as the Tailed Beast takes control and you lose any concentration you had. The way in which it goes awry is determined by the DM but keep in mind the tailed beast sees all creatures equally as enemies.
If the failed save was triggered by the Bijū cloak at the beginning of the turn, the player must immediately run up to the closest creature and attempt to make an Unarmed Strike against them.
Beginning at 11th level, when you make a Wisdom Save to avoid losing control, you may roll with advantage.
Beginning at 17th level, you no longer have to roll a Saving throw to avoid losing control.

You are able to communicate telepathically with your Companion as long as they are within 100 ft. of you. If your DM allows it, you may also allow your Companion to speak, in which they are proficient with any languages you are proficient in.
Commands
At 1st level, you are able to command your Companion to act in a combat situation. As a bonus action, you can give them any of the following orders and they will do so on their turn. The Companion takes their turn directly after yours.
Even if you do not use your bonus action to give your Companion a command, they may use their movement freely. If you are knocked unconscious and your Companion is still up, they may only take the Defend Command on their turn.
Your companion has a number of Chakra points equal to your level multiplied by 5. Your companion may never hold more Chakra Points than their maximum. When you first unlock this ability, you may select a Chakra Nature for your Companion. Once it is chosen, it can not be changed so choose carefully. They can not select a Kekkei Genkai.
Your companion learns 1 D-Rank Jutsu from either the Common List or their Chakra Nature's List. Your Companion can learn a number of jutsu equal to your Proficiency bonus at any time, and follows the same rules players do for learning new jutsu. At any point, you can train them in a new jutsu to switch out any of their current ones. If you reteach a Jutsu that your companion has learned before, the time required to learn it is quartered. When you teach your Companion a Jutsu, it is considered as if they are learning from a Mentor.
Attack
As an action, your companion makes a basic attack against a creature in range.
Defend
As an action, your companion takes the dodge action.
Cast Jutsu
Your companion casts a jutsu they know. If the jutsu your companion casts is a bonus action, your Companion may also make a basic attack if they are able as an action.
Bestial Awakening
At 6th level, your companion's constant presence around you has caused them to inherit small characteristics from your tailed beast's overwhelming amount of Chakra. Your Companion's appearance alters slightly, growing a number of tails equal to the tails possessed by your tailed beast.
When your companion uses the Cast Jutsu command and they do not have enough Chakra in their Chakra Pool, they may channel the remaining chakra cost from your Tailed Beast chakra. When your companion casts jutsu in this way, you have advantage on the Wisdom save to maintain control.
Bestial Cloak
Beginning at 10th level, your Companion has been exposed to a significant portion of tailed beast chakra and is able to siphon it away from your body to use for itself even more consistently than before.
When you activate your Bijū Cloak in any Phase, you can spend an additional 2 Tailed Beast Chakra per turn to grant your Companion a cloak. Your companion's cloak will always be 2 phases lower than yours (but can not be lower than phase 1). The highest Cloak phase your companion can achieve is Phase 3, when you are under the effects of Phase 5. Your companion gains all abilities that you would gain in the phase that they are in.
Mythic Awakening
At 14th level, your companion has found their true power and is able to draw upon their chakra to enter a state of awakening.
As a bonus action on their turn, your companion can activate their awakening, granting themselves a mythical appearance. Their size becomes large and they are granted a number of temporary hit points equal to double your level.
For 1 minute, you companion gains the following benefits:
- They gain +1 to their AC.
- When you Companion takes the attack action, it may attack twice instead of once as a part of the same action.
- When you cast a jutsu with a target of Self, your companion also gains the effect if they are within 30 ft. of you.
- When you or your Companion take damage, the other may use their reaction to transfer half of the damage dealt to them instead.
Your companion is able to do this twice per long rest.
Martial Artist
By selecting the Martial Artist archetype, you have trained your body in the art of taijutsu. You're tougher than the average Jinchuriki, and specialize in hand to hand combat. You gain proficiency in Shortswords.
Martial Arts
At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you specialty of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and taijutsu weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property. Select either Dexterity or Strength as your TAIJUTSU stat modifier. You may learn maneuvers from the Taijutsu Maenuvers list.
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only taijutsu weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
- You can use your TAIJUTSU modifier for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and taijutsu weapons.
- You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or taijutsu weapon. This die changes as you gain levels in the Martial Artist subclass, as shown in the table below.
- When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a taijutsu weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.
- Certain villages use specialized forms of the taijutsu weapons. For example, you might use a club that is two lengths of wood connected by a short chain (called a nunchaku) or a sickle with a shorter, straighter blade (called a kama). Whatever name you use for a taijutsu weapon, you can use the game statistics provided for the weapon on the Weapons page.
Your Taijutsu DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your TAIJUTSU stat modifier.
Level | Martial Arts Die |
---|---|
1 | 1d4 |
5 | 1d6 |
11 | 1d8 |
17 | 1d10 |
Fight For Your Life
At 1st level, when you are dropped to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you may immediately use a reaction to move up to your movement speed and make an unarmed strike against a creature you can reach. If you hit, you restore hit points equal to the damage you dealt and do not fall unconscious.
Extra Attack
At 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Bestial Strike
At 10th level, once per turn when you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike, you can expend 7 Tailed Beast Chakra to deal an additional 3d8 damage to the target. The damage type will vary based on which tailed beast you have.
Tailed Beast | Damage Type |
---|---|
Shukaku | Earth |
Matatabi | Fire |
Isobu | Water |
Son Goku | Earth or Fire |
Kokuo | Water or Fire |
Saiken | Poison |
Chomei | Wind |
Gyuki | Lightning |
Kurama | Force |
Cloak Armor
Starting at 14th level, when you enter any phase of your Bijū Cloak you have learned to use your tailed beast chakra as a protective armor to defend yourself against attackers.
When you are under the effects of a Bijū Cloak, and you are wearing no armor, you gain an unarmored defense equal to 10 + your proficiency bonus + your jutsu stat modifer.
In addition, you are able to sometimes enhance your physical abilities to resist the effects of jutsu. When you are subjected to a Saving throw to avoid the effects of a jutsu when you are in your Bijū Cloak, you may add your jutsu modifier to the roll after you rolled the die, but before it is announced whether it is a success or not.
You may use this ability a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus.
Chakra Artist
You picked up art as a past time from a young age, and eventually were able to transcribe your art into not just a past time - but the primary form of your jutsu. You gain proficiency in two sets of Artist's Supplies of your choice.
Art Style
Beginning at 1st level, using your Artist's Supplies replace hand signs as your somatic component, and you can not benefit from anything that would allow you to make hand seals with one hand as you do not use hand seals, but in return your hand seals can not be read.
Your Jutsu now all require one material component: Art Materials. Art Materials can be purchased for 両50 at any generic art shop which can be found almost anywhere. However, because your jutsu all now require a Material Component, and can not be cast without them, all jutsu costs are reduced by 1 Chakra but you can not reduce a Jutsu's cost to 0.
Dedicated Craft
At 1st level, when you have a bit of spare time, you're able to precraft some of your art for use later.
You have a number of Dedicated Crafts equal to your proficiency bonus. When you take a long rest, you may spend 1 hour of downtime to store a Jutsu you know into an art form in which you created during that time. To do so, you must expend half of the chakra required to use that technique (rounded up), sealing it inside the art form. Chakra is taken from after you finish the long rest, not before.
You or any creatures you can consider allies may cast the jutsu from your art form (if it is in their possession) using the same action type required to cast the jutsu. As you have already paid a chakra cost for the technique, it does not require any chakra to do so. Regardless of whether the Jutsu succeeds or fails, once the Dedicated Craft is used it is gone and loses its chakra.
Any Dedicated Crafts you are still in possession of when you take your next long rest, lose their effect.
Art of Expression
At 6th level, you have learned to create works of art so great, they can affect the minds of those who view them. When you create a Dedicated Craft, you may imbue it with Chakra so powerful it may even influence the emotions of others around it. This emotional effect is nearly undetectable and requires a successful Intelligence (Ninshou) check against your jutsu save DC to be noticed.
When you create a Dedicated Craft, you may choose to imbue it with one of the following effects, if you wish.
When you or an ally use a Dedicated Craft with an Art of Expression attached to it, any targets of the jutsu must make a Wisdom Saving throw against your jutsu DC. On a fail, they are considered Charmed and afflicted with the emotion for 1 minute. If a creature is immune to being charmed, they are immune to the effects. Creatures with an Intelligence score of 4 or less aren’t affected.
Anger. The creature has advantage on all of its attack rolls. In addition, all attack rolls made against the creature are done so at advantage. The creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the effects of this masterpiece for the next hour.
Beauty. The creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance. When the effect ends, the creature knows it was charmed by you. If you are actively in combat with the target creature, this ability automatically fails. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the effects of this masterpiece for the next hour.
Depression. The creature has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws for the duration. The charmed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. When the effect ends, the creature knows it was charmed by you. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the effects of this masterpiece for the next hour.
Hilarity. The creature falls prone, becoming incapacitated and unable to stand up for the duration. The charmed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. When the effect ends, the creature knows it was charmed by you. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the effects of this masterpiece for the next hour.
Enhanced Craft
At 10th level, you may now imbue your Dedicated Craft with Tailed Beast Chakra. When you create a Dedicated Craft and expend purely Tailed Beast Chakra to do so, you gain one of the following benefits:
-
You may add a +1 to the jutsu's Saving Throw DC.
-
Your Jutsu deals an additional 2d8 damage along with whatever damage it already deals.
You may only have a number of Enhanced Crafts equal to half of your proficiency bonus. Once they are used, they lose their effect and you can not do so again until you take a long rest and create more Dedicated Crafts.
Living Craft
Beginning at 14th level, you’ve mastered your craft to the point where your art forms seem like they could leap to life; because they can! Once per week, you may spend 8 Hours of downtime and 両2000 worth of materials, creating a construct that comes to life to serve you.
You may command the Living Art Form as a bonus action on your turn if it is within 60 feet of you. You decide what actions the creature will take and what movements it will make. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends intself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow the task until told otherwise or until its task is complete.
The creature is under your control for 1 week, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given to it and once again becomes a mundane art form. You can expend a use of this feature to “touch-up” the creature, at which point its hit points are returned to their full amount and it once again is under your control for another week. You may not have more than one creature at a time created by this effect.
The Living Art Form gains a special feature based on which set of Artist's supplies was used to create it.

On a hit, the target takes half of the damage that the Pottery took. On a miss, the attack is lost. If Pottery has a technique caught, it can not catch another.

You gain the ability to comprehend and verbally communicate with beasts. The knowledge and awareness of many beasts is limited by their intelligence, but at minimum, beasts can give you information about nearby locations and monsters, including whatever they can perceive or have perceived within the past day. You might be able to persuade a beast to perform a small favor for you, at the GM’s discretion.
Bewitching Whispers
Prerequisite: 7th level
As an action, you may expend 5 Chakra in an attempt to place creatures in a minor Genjutsu. Creatures of your choice that you can see within range and that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. A target automatically succeeds on this saving throw if it can't be charmed. On a failed save, a target is affected by this ability. Until the genjutsu ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to designate a direction that is horizontal to you. Each affected target must use as much of its movement as possible to move in that direction on its next turn. It can take its action before it moves. After moving in this way, it can make another Wisdom saving to try to end the effect. A target isn't compelled to move into an obviously deadly hazard, such as a fire or pit, but it will provoke opportunity attacks to move in the designated direction. You can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

As an action, your tailed beast may bolster you with a smidge of life, gaining 1d4 + 4 temporary hit points for 1 hour.

Chakra Guard
Prerequisite: 5th level
As a reaction when you take damage, you can entomb yourself in a protective chakra, which disperses at the end of your next turn. You gain 10 temporary hit points per Jinchuriki level, which take as much of the triggering damage as possible. Immediately after you take the damage, your speed is reduced to 0, and you are incapacitated. These effects, including any remaining temporary hit points, all end when the chakra disperses.
Once you use this invocation, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Chakra Sense
As an action, you may begin carefully sensing your surroundings. For 10 minutes, you sense the presence of chakra within 30 feet of you. If you sense chakra in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears chakra, and you learn its affinity, if any.
Your sense can penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
You may use this ability once per short or long rest.
Cloak of Flies
Prerequisite: 5th level As a bonus action, you can surround yourself with a chakra-enhanced aura that looks like buzzing flies. The aura extends 5 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. It lasts until you're incapacitated or you dismiss it as a bonus action. The aura grants you advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks but disadvantage on all other Charisma checks. Any other creature that starts its turn in the aura takes poison damage equal to your Jutsu modifier (minimum of 0 damage). Once you use this invocation, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

When you look at a person, if they possess the alignment you selected, you will be made aware of that fact. As an example, if you were to choose Chaos and used this ability against a Chaotic Good character, you would know they are Chaotic - but you would not know that they are good.
You can use this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
Dreadful Word
Prerequisite: 7th level
Your chakra assaults and twists creatures’ minds in the form of Genjutsu, spawning delusions and provoking uncontrolled actions. You may expend 6 Chakra points. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw when you cast this jutsu or be affected by it.
An affected target can’t take reactions and must roll a d10 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior for that turn.
- The creature uses all its movement to move in a random direction. To determine the direction, roll a d8 and assign a direction to each die face. The creature doesn’t take an action this turn.
- 2-6: The creature doesn’t move or take actions this turn.
- 7-8: The creature uses its action to make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach. If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn.

As long as the creature is on the same plane of existence as you, you can use your action on subsequent turns to maintain this connection, extending the duration until the end of your next turn. While perceiving through the other creature's senses, you benefit from any special senses possessed by that creature, and you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings.
Ghostly Gaze
Prerequisite: 7th level
As an action, you gain the ability to see through solid objects to a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you have darkvision if you don’t already have it.

Until the jutsu ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This ninjutsu doesn’t return the creature’s soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can’t learn new information, doesn’t comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can’t speculate about future events.
Whispers of the Insomniac
Prerequisite: Bijū (Shukaku)
Shukaku whispers promises of destruction in the ears of his Jinchuriki, striking great fear within them and preventing them from falling asleep lest he take control and rampage. You do not sleep, and the effects of Jutsu can not force you to do so. Instead, you meditate deeply, remaining semi-concious, for 4 hours a day. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a regular Shinobi would from 8 hours of sleep.
4. Backgrounds
Every story has a beginning. Your character’s background reveals where you came from, how you became a shinobi, and your place in the world. Your Medical-Nin might have been a Noble or a Street Urchin. Your Ninjutsu Specialist could have been a student of a prominent Master or a Prodigy. Your Warrior-Nin might have been a Hermit traveling with their family, place to place before settling down or entertained audiences as a carnival act.
Choosing a background provides you with important story beats about your character’s identity and most recent origin. The most important question to ask about your background is what changed? Why did you stop doing whatever your background describes to learn the way of Ninjutsu? How did you learn the skills of your class? What sets you apart from ordinary people who share your background?
Anbu
The ANBU, short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (Special Assassination and Tactical Squad), are covert operatives of capable ninja that are dispatched by their village leader.
There are apparently no true ranks within the Anbu; team leadership and hierarchy seem to be based on merit and experience. They are required to wear masks to conceal their identity, leading to them using code names to identify each other.
You spent a period of time involved in the ANBU. Discuss with your DM to determine your role and how much merit you had there.
Skill Proficiencies: Chakra Control, Insight
Tool Proficiencies: Tracking Kit, Forensics Kit
Languages: One of your choice.
Feat. Choose one of the following options: Alert, Inspiring Leader, Observant
Equipment: A Hunter's Pack, a set of traveler's clothes, a Bingo Book and 1 Chakra Pill.
Village Secrets
You were a member of an ANBU squadron for your village. You can score an audience with higher ups in your village without too much issues and can often pull some strings to get access to confidential information regarding your village and its dealings that normal Shinobi could not.
Apothecary
You've spent a lot of time studying herbs and their applications - both poisonous and medicinal. Perhaps you were involved in a special Shinobi Poison Corps, or worked alongside Medical-Nin to create medicines and herbal remedies.

You are a loyal customer of many herbal shops. Even if you do not have any available, you know where you can buy any ingredients you may need for a medicinal or poisonous concoction if any sellers carry it in the area. If no sellers possess this particular ingredient, you have connections that will allow you to have some sent to you (but you will still need to pay for it).
Artisan
You are a talented artisan, skilled in a particular field and closely associated with a particular clan. You are a well-established part of the mercantile world, freed by talent and wealth from the constraints of a feudal social order.

Clan Connections
You have special connections with a particular clan of Shinobi. In exchange for your Artisan work, you can rely on certain benefits that the clan provides for you. The clan will provide you with food and lodging if necessary, in exchange that you craft artisan goods for them and only them. If you are accused of a crime, this clan will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful clan figures if your standing is good enough.
You must provide your craftsmanship to the clan when requested, and will find yourself in bad graces should you choose to provide another clan with your goods.
Discuss with the DM to determine which clan you are affiliated with, and how that effects your character's lifestyle and backstory.

By performing commissions you can get your name as an artist out, and sometimes people may come searching for you to do them. If you spend time and money of supplies to create an art piece of some sort, you can find a buyer for it within a week by expending a small amount of down time each day (about 10 minutes) to promote your art.
The buyer can be found earlier than the one week mark if you spend more down time promoting it.
Criminal
You are an experienced criminal with a history of breaking the law. You have spent a lot of time among other criminals and still have contacts within the criminal underworld.

Discovery
The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.
Work with your DM to determine the details of your discovery and its impact on the campaign.

Noble
You understand wealth, power, and privilege. You carry a noble title, and your family owns land, collects taxes, and wields significant political influence. You might be a pampered aristocrat unfamiliar with work or discomfort, a former merchant just elevated to the nobility, or a disinherited scoundrel with a disproportionate sense of entitlement or an honest, hard-working landowner who cares deeply about the people who live and work on your land, keenly aware of your responsibility to them.

You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to.
Outcast
For whatever reason, you were considered an outcast from your home. Most of the residents chose not to associate with you, and you often found yourself without anyone to rely on. Your early years were lonely. You had to learn to do everything on your own.

Prodigy
From a young age, those around you placed you up on a platter. You were abnormally talented for your age, and always stood out as the next up and coming Shinobi.

Library Access
Though others must often endure extensive interviews and significant fees to gain access to even the most common archives in your library, you have free and easy access to the majority of the library, though it might also have repositories of lore that are too valuable or secret to permit anyone immediate access.
You have a working knowledge of your cloister's personnel and bureaucracy, and you know how to navigate those connections with some ease.
Additionally, you are likely to gain preferential treatment at other libraries across the Shinobi world, as professional courtesy shown to a fellow scholar.
Urchin
You grew up on the streets alone, orphaned, and poor, You had no one to watch over you or to provide for you, so you learned to provide for yourself. You fought fiercely over food and kept a constant watch out for other desperate souls who might steal from you. You slept on rooftops and in alleyways, exposed to the elements, and endured sickness without the advantage of medicine or a place to recuperate. You've survived despite all odds, and did so through cunning, strength, speed, or some combination of each.

Wanderer
You grew up in the wilds, far from civilization and the comforts of town and technology. You've witnessed the migration of herds larger than forests, survived weather more extreme than any city-dweller could comprehend, and enjoyed the solitude of being the only thinking creature for miles in any direction. The wilds are in your blood, whether you were a nomad, an explorer, a recluse, a hunter-gatherer, or even a marauder. Even in places where you don't know the specific features of the terrain, you know the ways of the wild.

Shinobi loyal to your village still recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are of a lower rank. You can invoke your rank to exert influence over other shinobi and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use. You can also usually gain access to friendly military encampments and fortresses belonging to your village where your rank is recognized.
5. Equipment
The marketplace of a large city or village teems with buyers and sellers of many backgrounds and for many reasons: shady merchants trying to sell off curious wares they’ve found on their travels (or trying to steal from careless travelers), up and coming technologists, selling various scientific ninja tools, shinobi weaponsmiths and samurai armor smiths. In the largest cities, almost anything imaginable is offered for sale, from exotic spices and luxurious clothing to scientific ninja tools and cutting-edge vehicles.
For a shinobi or samurai, the availability of armor, weapons, and other adventuring gear is of paramount importance, since proper equipment can mean the difference between life and death in a stronghold or the untamed wilds. This chapter details the mundane and exotic merchandise that shinobi commonly find useful in the face of the threats that the worlds of D&D present.
Starting Equipment
When you create your character, you receive equipment based on a combination of your class and background. Alternatively, you can start with a number of gold pieces based on your class and spend them on items from the lists in this chapter. See the Starting Wealth by Class table to determine how much gold you have to spend.
You decide how your character cam e by this starting equipment. It might have been an inheritance, or goods that the character purchased during his or her upbringing. You might have been equipped with a weapon, armor, and a backpack as part of your training in the academy. You might even have stolen your gear. A weapon could be a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation until your character finally took up the mantle and followed in an ancestor’s adventurous footsteps.
Class | Funds |
---|---|
Genjutsu Specialist | 3d4 x 100 Ryō |
Hunter-Nin | 4d4 x 100 Ryō |
Medical-Nin | 4d4 x 100 Ryō |
Ninjutsu Specialist | 2d4 x 100 Ryō |
Taijutsu Specialist | 2d4 x 100 Ryō |
Warrior-Nin | 5d4 x 100 Ryō |
Jinchūriki | 2d4 x 100 Ryō |
Currency
Ryo comes in a variety of denominations: from a single Ryō coin to paper bills with predefined values. While the Land of Iron and Moon have their own currencies, in most Countries they can be used interchangeably.
Compared to real-life currency or gp from base Dungeons and Dragons, Ryō is quite inflated. It is associated with this symbol: 両.
A low-paying D-Rank mission awards a Genin 両5000. Split amongst their team of 4 (3 genin + a jonin), and with 10% going to the village, each participant would earn 両1125. With that payment, your character could restock up on any supplies, purchase a new tool and/or weapon, and still possibly have some Ryō left to save for another time.

Armor and Shields
The different Countries of Naruto are a vast tapestry made up of many different cultures, each with its own cultural influence on technology. For this reason, Shinobi have access to a variety of armor types, ranging from basic Padded Armor to Shinobi Battle Armor with several other kinds of armor in between. The Armor table collects the most commonly available types of armor found in the game and separates them into three categories: light armor, medium armor, and heavy armor.
The Armor table shows the cost and other properties of the common types of armor worn in the Naruto World.
Armor Proficiency. Anyone can put on a suit of armor or strap a shield to an arm. Only those proficient in the armor’s use know how to wear it effectively, however. Your class gives you proficiency with certain types of armor. If you wear armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can’t cast jutsu.
Armor Class (AC). Armor protects its wearer from attacks. The armor (and shield) you wear determines your base Armor Class.
Heavy Armor. Heavier armor interferes with the wearer’s ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely. If the Armor table shows “Str 13” or “Str 15” in the Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the wearer’s speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score.
Stealth. If the Armor table show s “Disadvantage” in the Stealth column, the wearer has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
Shields. A shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand. Wielding a shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit from only one shield at a time.
Light Armor
Made from flexible and thin materials, light armor favors agile adventurers since it offers some protection without sacrificing mobility. If you wear light armor, you can add your full Dexterity mod to determine your Armor Class with no limits.
Padded. Padded Armor Consists of Resistant Materials layered on top of one another in a way that provides protection to your more vulnerable parts of your body.
Leather Armor. The breastplate and shoulder protectors of this armor are made of thin but layered leather that has been stiffened by being boiled in oil and made to fit under common clothing to hide the armor your wearing, under standard clothing.
Studded Leather Armor. Studded Leather armor is Leather armor reinforced with metal bolts, rivets or plates that cover sensitive body parts like your heart, Neck and Spine.
Medium Armor
Medium armor offers more protection than light armor, but it also impairs movement more. If you wear medium armor, you add your Dexterity modifier, to a maximum detailed in the Dex bonus column, to the Armor Bonus of the Armor You are wearing.
Combat Jacket. Providing solid protection for a minimal cost, Combat Jackets are considered excellent protection for entrenched troops or guards.
This protection, unfortunately, comes at a cost of mobility, limiting its uses by rapidly advancing infantry. Still, it provides more mobility than an Armored Combat Jacket.
Armored Combat Jacket. Armored Variant of the Combat Jacket that’s designed for more protection.
Battle Armor. Battle Armor that is mass produced from the Land of Iron, Made for War time conflicts and is generally used by foot soldiers and infantrymen. Provides enhanced protections, but does not allow for very complex mobility maneuvers.
Shinobi Battle Armor. Battle Armor that is specially made in each of their respective countries. This variant of the Battle Armor provides more protection in a Shinobi’s vital area’s while also providing a lighter load. The Bulk of this armor still prevents complex mobility but is offset by the increase in overall protections provided by specialized Developments.
Heavy Armor
Of all the armor categories, heavy armor offers the best protection. These suits of armor cover most of, if not the entire body and are designed to stop a wide range of attacks. Only proficient warriors can manage their weight and bulk. Heavy armor doesn’t let you add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class.
Flak Jacket. Flak Jackets are armors with reduced weight, but restricts movement. The armor is commonly used by mercenaries, bounty hunters, soldiers, and civilians that live in dangerous areas.
Armored Flak Jacket. Armored Variant of Flak Jackets that provide more protection.
Ronin Armor. Armor that was initially designed for Wandering Samurai who belong to no clan or house. This armor is extremely resistant to the perils of the Land of Iron.
Samurai Armor. Samurai Armor that is specially made for use by the Samurai of the Land of Iron. The Samurai that wear this armor are walking tanks and can take far more punishment than the average shinobi, in turn allowing them the ability to survive significantly longer than their shinobi counterparts.
Getting Into and Out of Armor
The time it takes to don or doff armor depends on the armor’s category.
Don. This is the time it takes to put on armor. You benefit from the armor's AC only if you take the full time to don the suit of armor.
Doff. This is the time it takes to take off armor. If you have help, reduce this time by half.
Donning and Doffing Armor
Category | Don | Doff |
---|---|---|
Light Armor | 1 minute | 1 minute |
Medium Armor | 5 minutes | 1 minute |
Heavy Armor | 10 minutes | 5 minutes |
Shield | 1 action | 1 action |
Weapons
Your class grants proficiency in certain weapons, reflecting both the class’s focus and the tools you are most likely to use. Whether you favor a Katana or a Shuriken, your weapon and your ability to wield it effectively can mean the difference between life and death while adventuring and on Missions.
The Weapons tables show the most common weapons used in the world of Naruto, their price and the damage they deal when they hit, and any special properties they possess.
Every weapon is classified as a Simple Melee Weapon, Simple Ranged Weapon, Martial Melee Weapon or Martial Ranged. A Melee Weapon is used to attack a target within 5 feet of you, whereas a Ranged Weapon is used to attack a target at a distance.
Weapon Proficiency
Your Bloodline, class, and feats can grant you proficiency with certain weapons or categories of weapons. The two categories are Simple and Martial. Most people can use simple weapons, which are commonly seen in the hands of the unspecialized, with proficiency.
Martial weapons, including Katana’s, Tonfa & Chakrams require more specialized training to use effectively. Most warriors use martial weapons because these weapons put their fighting style and training to best use. Proficiency with a weapon allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with that weapon.
If you make an attack roll using a weapon with which you lack proficiency, you do not add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll.
Weapon Properties
Many weapons have special properties related to their use, as shown in the Weapons table.
Ammunition
You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack. At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield.
If you use a Ranged weapon that has the ammunition property to make a melee attack, you treat the weapon as an improvised weapon (see “Improvised Weapons” later in the section).
Chakra Blade
This weapon is made from special metal that absorbs your chakra and allows it to run through the weapon, increasing its potentials. As a bonus action, the user must expend a number of Chakra Points equal to their proficiency bonus in order to active the Chakra Blade for 1 minute. While active, the Chakra Blade gains the following benefits:
- The damage die increases by 1 (Ex: 1d6 to 1d8)
- The damage type changes to the chakra type put into the weapon (decided when you activate the Chakra Blade)
When the Chakra Blade is not activated, it deals damage that a weapon of the same type without the Chakra Blade property would.
Critical
Weapons with the Critical Property gain a +1 bonus to Critical Threat range. This Bonus can only be applied once, even if dual wielding.
Deadly
Weapons with the Deadly Property adds an additional damage die on a critical hit.
Disarm
If a weapon has the Disarm property, when you take the attack action, you may forgo one of your weapon attacks to attempt to Disarm a target creature.
The target creature must succeed a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check vs your Attack Roll Result. On a Success, they are unaffected. On a failure, their weapon or item they are holding falls to their feet within 5 feet of them.
Finesse
When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
Grapple
As an attack action, you make a grapple check against a target creature in range. On a successful critical hit with a weapon of this type, you can automatically grapple the target of the attack, no check needed.
Heavy
Weak creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A creature must have a Strength score of 15 to use this weapon effectively.
Light
A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons. See the rules for two-weapon fighting in chapter 8.
Loading
A limited number of shots can be made with a weapon that has the Loading property. A character must then reload it using an action or a bonus action (the character’s choice). You must have one free hand to reload.
Range
A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range shown in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s maximum range.
When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can’t attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range.
Reach
This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach for each Rank of Reach it has when you attack with it. (Ex. Reach 1 adds 5 Feet of range to the weapon)
Returning
If a weapon has the Returning property, you can, after throwing the weapon to make a ranged attack call it back to you if it was thrown less than 30 feet from you. You must have one hand free to catch it.
Thrown
If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack using your Strength instead of Dexterity for Attack and Damage rolls.
Trip
If a weapon has the trip property, you can as an attack action attempt to trip a target creature. The target creature must succeed an athletics or acrobatics check vs your Attack Roll Result. On a Success, they are unaffected. On a failure, they fall prone.
Two-Handed
This weapon requires two hands to use.
Unarmed
This weapon increased your base unarmed damage to its described value, while also applying its damage type to your unarmed damage. If your unarmed attack damage is greater than this weapons damage dice, you may use the larger die instead of the listed one for damage. This weapon also does not prevent you from using Hand Signs (Somatic Components) while wielding it. This weapon is equipped to both hands when equipped.
Versatile
This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property - the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.
Improvised Weapons
Sometimes characters don’t have their weapons and have to attack with whatever is close at hand. An improvised weapon includes any object you can wield in one or two hands, such as broken glass, a table leg, a frying pan, a wagon wheel, or a dead enemy. In many cases, an improvised weapon is similar to an actual weapon and can be treated as such. At the GM’s discretion, a character proficient with a weapon can use a similar object as if it were that weapon and use his or her proficiency bonus.

Adventuring Gear
This section describes the commonly used items in the Narutoverse along with their costs, weight, and how they work in the functions of a game.
A lot of these items can be purchased from shops, but some items may be more rare or harder to come by - or the players may even have to have them custom made. It is ultimately up to the DM as to which gear is readily accessible to the players and which is not.
In this section, you'll be able to find Equipment Packs, Communication Tools, Tags, Food Pills, Scrolls and even some standard Ninja Tools that you'll often encounter in the Narutoverse. These items can be purchased with the game's currency, Ryo (or 両).
If you do have any questions regarding the items available within the game, you're welcome to let me know and ask. Also, if you feel as if I've left out a core item from the Narutoverse, please let me know.

Tool Kits
A toolkit helps you to do something you couldn’t otherwise do, such as craft or repair an item or pick a lock. Your bloodline, class, background, or feats give you proficiency with certain tools, which lets you add your proficiency bonus to any ability check you make using that tool. Tool use is not tied to a single ability, since proficiency with a tool represents broader knowledge of its use.

Barrier Tag
By placing a series of Barrier Tags (a maximum of 15ft apart) and expending one chakra point per Barrier Tag, you may use an action to activate a barrier along the tags (meaning at least 2 are required).
Each individual tag grants the barrier 10 hit points, and can be connected in various shapes. It has an AC equal to 12 + your proficiency bonus. The barrier is not traversable by any creatures, foe or ally. Jutsu can not pass through it and will instead hit the barrier.
Placing a Barrier Tag takes 1 bonus action.
Component Tag
Component Tags are unique from other tags as they can not be used entirely on their own to cause an effect - but they can be used as a material component in jutsu to help channel both your chakra and its effects.
Paper Bomb
As a bonus action, you may expend a number of Chakra points listed in the table below and apply the Paper Bomb to a surface or wrap it around a weapon or object. The tag can then be exploded as a reaction, bonus action or an action. If the Paper Bomb is attached to a thrown weapon, it will explode upon impact with a solid surface (or creature).
All creatures within 10 ft. of the explosion must make a Dexterity Save against your JUTSU DC, taking an amount of force and fire damage listed in the table below on a fail, and only the fire damage on a success.
If there is another Paper Bomb within the explosion range of the previous one, it will also explode as a part of a chain reaction.
Total Class Level | Chakra Cost | Damage | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 Chakra | 1d6 Fire + 1d4 Force | 両400 |
Total Class Level | Chakra Cost | Damage | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
5 | 3 Chakra | 2d6 Fire + 2d6 Force | 両900 |
10 | 5 Chakra | 3d6 Fire + 3d4 Force | 両1400 |
15 | 7 Chakra | 4d6 Fire + 4d4 Force | 両1900 |
20 | 9 Chakra | 5d6 Fire + 5d4 Force | 両2400 |
Sealing Tag
By placing a Sealing Tag on an object, a substantial seal is generated that prevents the article in question from being summoned, as long as the originating tag remains intact.
When attempting to attach the Sealing Tag to an unwilling creature, you must use an action to make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check against their contestant Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics). On a success, the target is afflicted with the Sealed condition while the tag remains on them. A creature with an attached tag may use an action to remove it.
Smoke Tag
By placing a Smoke Tag on a surface or object as a bonus action, you may expend 2 Chakra points as an action, reaction or bonus action to activate it. The smoke tag explodes into smoke in a 15-foot radius, creating a thick and opaque cloud of smoke. Creatures inside the smoke are considered Blinded, and creatures outside of the smoke are considered Blinded when attempting to attack or interact with anything inside the smoke.
A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind (20 or more miles per hour) disperses it in 1 round.
Sealing Scrolls
The average-sized scroll is small enough that several can be carried at the same time, either in a flak jacket or in a pouch. Larger scrolls are usually carried on the ninja's back. Shinobi use sealing scrolls to summon creatures, people, and items that they have previously sealed away, making transportation easier and providing more options when on a mission. Jutsu techniques can also be stored in scrolls.
Purchasing a Sealing Scroll that already has a jutsu sealed inside of it would be much more expensive than a blank one. The price difference could be around the range of double the coast of the blank, but would vary up or down based on where (and who) you are purchasing it from.
Purchasing pre-sealed Jutsu scrolls is significantly more difficult than purchasing a blank one, and would have limited options as to what was available.

Jutsu Scrolls
Very different from Sealed Jutsu Scrolls (see above), Jutsu Scrolls are scrolls in which a jutsu or technique has been described in a tutorial-like manner so that a shinobi who does not currently know how to use the jutsu can learn it, provided they have an affinity with the correct chakra nature. E and D-ranked Jutsu scrolls are relatively common and can be found at most ninja supply stores, but finding C-ranked scrolls and highers gets progressively more rare. You will never under any circumstances find an S-ranked jutsu scroll at a shop under any legal means.

6. Customization Options
The combination of ability scores, bloodline, class, and background defines your character’s capabilities in the game, and the personal details you create set your character apart from every other character. Even within your class, you have options to fine-tune what your character can do. But this chapter is for players who want to go a step further.
This chapter defines sets of rules for customizing your character: multiclassing and feats. Multiclassing lets you combine classes together, and feats are special options you can choose instead of increasing your ability scores as you gain levels.
Multiclassing
Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be reflected in one of the standard class options. With this rule, you have the option of gaining a level in a new class whenever you advance in level, instead of gaining a level in your current class. Your levels in all your classes are added together to determine your character level. For example, if you have three levels in Ninjutsu Specialist and two in Warrior-Nin, you’re a 5th-level character.
As you advance in levels, you might primarily remain a member of your original class with just a few levels in another class, or you might change course entirely, never looking back at the class you left behind. You might even start progressing in a third or fourth class.
Compared to a single-class character of the same level, you’ll sacrifice some focus in exchange for versatility.
Prerequisites
To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one, as shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisites table. Without the full training that a beginning character receives, you must be a quick study in your new class, having a natural aptitude that is reflected by higher-than-average ability scores.
Multiclassing Prerequisites
Class | Ability Score Minimum |
---|---|
Genjutsu Specialist | Charisma, Intelligence or Wisdom 14 |
Hunter-Nin | Dexterity 14 |
Medical-Nin | Intelligence or Wisdom 14 |
Ninjutsu Specialist | Charisma, Intelligence or Wisdom 14 |
Taijutsu Specialist | Dexterity or Strength 14 |
Warrior-Nin | Dexterity or Strength 14 |
Jinchūriki | Have a tailed beast sealed in your body |
When you gain a level in a class other than your first, you gain only some of that class’s starting proficiencies, as shown in the Multiclassing Proficiencies table.
Multiclassing Proficiencies
Class | Proficiencies |
---|---|
Genjutsu Specialist | Light Armor, One skill from the Class's skill list, you gain access to the Genjutsu Jutsu List. |

Feats are a popular style of ability that are used in base Dungeons and Dragons, and make a powerful presense in Naruto 5e. In addition to many of the base feats, Naruto 5e has a variety of custom feats that were created for the setting but not all 5th edition feats are allowed to be used in Naruto 5e. Here's a list of all the feats that you're allowed to use in this setting.

7. Adventuring
Delving into an ancient Samurai’s tomb, slipping through the Land of Waves underground water way in the Mist Village, cutting a fresh trail through the thick jungles in the Land of Fire’s Forest of Death are the things that Naruto adventures are made of. Your character in the game might explore forgotten ruins and uncharted lands, uncover dark secrets and sinister plots, slay foul monsters and defeat erroneous criminals. And if all goes well, your character will survive to claim rich rewards and village wide fame and worldwide infamy before embarking on a new adventure or mission.
This chapter covers the basics of the adventuring life, from the mechanics of movement to the complexities of social interaction. The rules for resting are also in this chapter, along with a discussion of the activities your character might pursue between missions. Whether shinobi are exploring a dusty dungeon or the complex relationships of a noble clan, the game follows natural rhythm, as outlined in the book’s introduction:
- The GM describes the environment.
- The players describe what they want to do.
- The GM narrates the results of their actions.
Typically, the GM uses a map as an outline of the adventure, tracking the characters’ progress as they explore enclave corridors or wilderness regions.
The GM’s notes, including a key to the map, describe what the adventurers find as they enter each new area. Sometimes, the passage of time and the adventurers’ actions determine what happens, so the GM might use a timeline or a flowchart to track their progress instead of a map.
Time
In situations where keeping track of the passage of time is important, the GM determines the time a task requires.
The GM might use a different time scale depending on the context of the situation at hand. In an enclosed environment, the adventurers’ movement happens on a scale of minutes. It takes them about a minute to creep down a long hallway, another minute to check for traps on the door at the end of the hall, and a good ten minutes to search the chamber beyond for anything interesting or valuable.
In a city or wilderness, a scale of hours is often more appropriate. Adventurers eager to reach the lonely tower at the heart of the forest hurry across those fifteen miles in just under four hours’ time.
For long journeys, a scale of days works best. Following the road from the Leaf to the Sand, the adventurers spend four uneventful days before a Bandit ambush interrupts their journey. In combat and other fast-paced situations, the game relies on rounds, a 6-second span of time.
Movement
Swimming across a rushing river, sneaking down a building corridor, scaling a treacherous mountain slope - all sorts of movement play a key role in D&D adventures.
The GM can summarize the adventurers’ movement without calculating exact distances or travel times: “You travel through the forest and find the ruin entrance late in the evening of the third day.”
Even in a dungeon, particularly a large dungeon or a cave network, the GM can summarize movement between encounters: “After killing the guardian at the entrance to the ancient Uzumaki stronghold. you consult your map, which leads you through miles of echoing corridors to a chasm bridged by a narrow stone arch.”
Sometimes it’s important, though, to know how long it takes to get from one spot to another, whether the answer is in days, hours, or minutes. The rules for determining travel time depend on two factors: the speed and travel pace of the creatures moving and the terrain they’re moving over.
Speed
Every character and monster have a speed, which is the distance in feet that the character or monster can walk in 1 round.
This number assumes short bursts of energetic movement in the midst of a life-threatening situation. The following rules determine how far a character or monster can move in a minute, an hour, or a day.
Travel pace
While traveling, a group of adventurers can move at a normal, fast, or slow pace, as shown on the Travel Pace table. The table states how far the party can move in a period of time and whether the pace has any effect. A fast pace makes characters less perceptive, while a slow pace makes it possible to sneak around and to search an area more carefully (see the “Activity While Traveling” section later in this chapter for more information).
Forced March
The Travel Pace table assumes that characters travel for 8 hours within a given day. They can push on beyond that limit, at the risk of exhaustion. For each additional hour of travel beyond 8 hours, the characters cover the distance shown in the Hour column for their pace, and each character must make a constitution saving throw at the end of the hour. The DC is 10 + 1 for each hour past 8 hours. On a failed saving throw, a character suffers one level of exhaustion (see appendix B).
Mounts, Trains and Vehicles
For short spans of time (up to an hour), many animals move much faster than humanoids. A mounted character can ride at a gallop for about an hour, covering twice the usual distance for a fast pace. If fresh mounts are available every 8 to 10 miles, characters can cover larger distances at this pace, but this is very rare except in densely populated areas.
Pace | Distance per Minute | Distance per Hour | Distance per Day | Effort |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fast | 500 ft | 5 Miles | 40 Miles | -5 passive Perception |
Pace | Distance per Minute | Distance per Hour | Distance per Day | Effort |
---|---|---|---|---|
Normal | 300 ft | 3 Miles | 24 Miles | - |
Slow | 200 ft | 2 Miles | 16 Miles | 16 Miles |
Difficult Terrain
The travel speeds given in the Travel Pace table assume relatively simple terrain: roads, open plains, or clear enclosed corridors. But adventurers often face dense forests, deep swamps, rubble-filled ruins, steep mountains, and ice-covered ground-all considered difficult terrain.
You move at half speed in difficult terrain - moving 1 foot in difficult terrain costs 2 feet of speed - so you can cover only half the normal distance in a minute, an hour, or a day.
Special Types of Movement
Movement through dangerous dungeons or wilderness areas often involve more than simply walking. Adventurers might have to climb, crawl, swim, or jump to get where they need to go.
Climbing, Swimming and Crawling
In other situations where wall running or water walking is not viable, your character can do any of the aforementioned. While climbing, swimming, or crawling, each foot of movement costs 1 extra foot (2 extra feet in difficult terrain), unless a creature has a climbing or swimming speed. At the GM’s option, climbing a slippery vertical surface or one with few handholds requires a successful Strength (Athletics) check. Similarly, gaining any distance in rough water might require a successful Strength (Athletics) check.
Jumping
Your Strength determines how far you can jump.
Long Jump. When you make a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to 5 + your strength score if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing long jump, you can leap only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement. This rule assumes that the height of your jump doesn’t matter, such as a jump across a stream or chasm. At your GM’s option, you must succeed on a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to clear a low obstacle (no taller than a quarter of the jump’s distance), such as a hedge or low wall. Otherwise, you hit it. When you land in Difficult Terrain, you must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to land on your feet. Otherwise, you land prone.
High Jump. When you make a high jump, you leap into the air a number of feet equal to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet immediately before the jump. When you make a standing high jump, you can jump only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement. In some circumstances, your GM might allow you to make a Strength (Athletics) check to jump higher than you normally can. You cannot take damage from falling from your own jump’s height. If you fall further than your initiated jump height you take falling damage as normal.
Activity while Traveling
As adventurers travel through a dungeon or the wilderness, they need to remain alert for danger, and some characters might perform other tasks to help the group’s journey.
Marching Order
The adventurers should establish a marching order. A marching order makes it easier to determine which characters are affected by traps, which ones can spot hidden enemies, and which ones are the closest to those enemies when a fight breaks out.
A character might occupy the front rank, one or more middle ranks, or the back rank. Characters in the front and back ranks need enough room to travel side by side with others in their rank. When space is too tight, the marching order must change, usually by moving characters to a middle rank.
Fewer Than Three Ranks. If an adventuring party arranges its marching order with only two ranks, they are a front rank and a back rank. If there’s only one rank, it’s considered a front rank.
Stealth
While traveling at a slow pace, the characters can move stealthily. As long as they’re not in the open, they can try to surprise or sneak by other creatures they encounter.
Noticing Threats
Use the passive Wisdom (Perception) scores of the characters to determine whether anyone in the group notices a hidden threat. The GM might decide that a threat can be noticed only by characters in a particular rank. For example, as the characters are exploring a maze of tunnels, the GM might decide that only those characters in the back rank have a chance to hear or spot a stealthy creature following the group, while characters in the front and middle ranks cannot. While traveling at a fast pace, characters take a -5 penalty to their passive Wisdom (Perception) scores to notice hidden threats.
Encountering Creatures. If the GM determines that the adventurers encounter other creatures while they’re traveling, it’s up to both groups to decide what happens next. Either group might decide to attack, initiate a conversation, run away, or wait to see what the other group does.
Surprising Foes. If the adventurers encounter a hostile creature or group, the GM determines whether the adventurers or their foes might be surprised when combat erupts.
Other Activities
Characters who turn their attention to other tasks as the group travels are not focused on watching for danger. These characters don’t contribute their passive Wisdom (Perception) scores to the group’s chance of noticing hidden threats. However, a character not watching for danger can do one of the following activities instead, or some other activity with the GM’s permission.
Navigate. The character can try to prevent the group from becoming lost, making a Wisdom (Survival) check when the GM calls for it. (The Dungeon Master’s Guide has rules to determine whether the group gets lost.)
Draw a Map. The character can draw a map that records the group’s progress and helps the characters get back on course if they get lost. No ability check is required.
Track. A character can follow the tracks of another creature, making a Wisdom (Survival) check when the GM calls for it. (The Dungeon Master’s Guide has rules for tracking.)
Forage. The character can keep an eye out for ready sources of food and water, making a Wisdom (Survival) check when the GM calls for it. (The Dungeon Master’s Guide has rules for foraging.)
The Environment
By its nature, adventuring involves delving into places that are dark, dangerous, and full of mysteries to be explored. The rules in this section cover some of the most important ways in which adventurers interact with the environment in such places. The Dungeon Master’s Guide has rules covering more unusual situations.
Falling
A fall from a great height is one of the most common hazards facing an adventurer. At the end of a fall, a creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it fell, to a maximum of 50d6. The creature lands prone, unless it avoids taking damage from the fall. A falling creature falls 500 feet per round.
Suffocating
A creature can hold its breath for a number of minutes equal to 1 + its Constitution modifier (minimum of 30 seconds). When a creature runs out of breath, it can survive for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modifier (minimum 1 round). At the start of its next turn, it drops to 0 hit points and is dying.
For example, a creature with a constitution of 14 can hold its breath for 3 minutes. If it starts suffocating, it has 2 rounds to reach air before it drops to 0 hit points.
Vision and Light
The most fundamental tasks of adventuring-noticing danger, finding hidden objects, hitting an enemy in combat, and targeting a power, to name just a few-rely heavily on a character’s ability to see. Darkness and other effects that obscure vision can prove a significant hindrance. A creature without any additional abilities, features or equipment, on a clear day, can see 1 mile, or until your view is obscured by terrain features. If it's raining, it usually cuts it down to 500 feet and a light Fog cuts it down to 100 feet. While a creature can see 1 mile on a clear day, after 500 feet they lose the ability to decern any distinguishable features such as facial expressions or fine movement from a medium sized creature.
A given area might be lightly or heavily obscured. In a lightly obscured area, such as dim light, patchy fog, or moderate foliage, creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
A heavily obscured area-such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage-blocks vision entirely. A creature in a heavily obscured area effectively suffers from the blinded condition. The presence or absence of light in an environment creates three categories of illumination: bright light, dim light, and darkness.
Bright light let's most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.
Dim light, also called shadows, creates a lightly obscured area. An area of dim light is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as a torch, and surrounding darkness. The soft light of twilight and dawn also counts as dim light. A particularly brilliant full moon might bathe the land in dim light.
Darkness creates a heavily obscured area. Characters face darkness outdoors at night (even most moonlit nights), or within the confines of an unlit dungeon or a subterranean vault.
Blindsight
A creature with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures without eyes and creatures with echolocation or heightened senses have this sense.
Chakra Sight
A creature with Chakra sight can see Chakra in its pure form. Viewing chakra in this way allows the user to see chakra as a wavy blue aura.
In the case of Hyuga’s and their Byakugan, they can see the Internal Network of a personal chakra similar to that of a human's blood pathway system, but in this case it's a blue network of chakra veins circulating throughout the body. Most Creature chakra are blue but there are some creatures whose chakras are distinctly different colors either due to the nature of their chakra or the technique they are using. While using Chakra sight, you are able to see creatures’ chakras through darkness and cover up to 5 feet thick. Creatures whom chakra you see do not gain advantage against you from being obscured in anyway. A creature with chakra sight has advantage on Saving throws against visual-based Genjutsu effects.
Darkvision
Within a specified range, a creature with Darkvision can see in darkness as if the darkness were dim light, so areas of darkness are only lightly obscured as far as that creature is concerned. However, the creature can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
True Sight
A creature with true sight can, out to a specific range, see in normal and enhanced darkness, see invisible creatures and objects, automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on saving throws against them, and perceives the original form of a shape changer or a creature that is transformed by a power.
Food & Water
Characters who don’t eat or drink suffer the effects of exhaustion. Exhaustion caused by lack of food or water can’t be removed until the character eats and drinks the full required amount.
Food
A character needs two pounds of food per day and can make food last longer by subsisting on half rations. Eating half a pound of food a day counts as half a day without food. A character can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + his or her Constitution modifier (minimum 1). At the end of each day beyond that limit, a character automatically suffers one level of exhaustion. A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero.
Water
A character needs one gallon of water per day, or two gallons per day if the weather is hot. A character who drinks only half that much water must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. A character with access to less water automatically suffers one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. If the character already has one or more levels of exhaustion, the character takes two levels in either case.
Interacting with Objects
A character’s interaction with objects in an environment is often simple to resolve in the game. The player tells the GM that his or her character is doing something, such as moving a lever, and the GM describes what, if anything happens. For example, a character might decide to pull a lever, which might, in turn, open a door, cause a room to flood with water, or open a secret door in a nearby wall. If the lever is rusted in position, though, a character might need to force it. In such a situation, the GM might call for a Strength check to see whether the character can wrench the lever into place. The GM sets the DC for any such check based on the difficulty of the task.
Characters can also damage objects with their weapons and Jutsu. Objects are immune to poison & Psychic damage, but otherwise they can be affected by physical attacks and Jutsu much like creatures can. The GM determines an object’s Armor Class and hit points, and might decide that certain objects have resistance or immunity to certain kinds of attacks. (It’s hard to cut a rope with a club, for example.) Objects always fail Strength and Dexterity saving throws, and they are immune to effects that require other saves. When an object drops to 0 hit points, it breaks. A character can also attempt a Strength check to break an object. The GM sets the DC for any such check.
Resting
Heroic though they might be, shinobi can’t spend every hour of the day in the thick of exploration, social interaction, and combat. They need rest time to sleep and eat, tend their wounds, gather their chakra and recover their stamina. Shinobi can take short rests in the midst of an adventuring day and a long rest to end the day.
Short Rest
A short rest is a period of downtime, at least 1 hour long, during which a character does nothing more strenuous than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds. A character can spend one or more Hit & Chakra dice at the end of a short rest, up to half the character’s maximum number of Hit and/or Chakra Dice. For each Hit or Chakra Die spent in this way, the player rolls the die and adds the character’s Constitution modifier to it. The character regains hit points and/or Chakra points equal to the total. The player can decide to spend an additional Hit or chakra Die after each roll. A character regains some spent Hit and Chakra Dice upon finishing a long or full rest, as explained below.
Long Rest
A long rest is a longer period of downtime, at least 8 hours long, during which a character sleeps or performs light activity: reading, talking, eating, or standing watch for no more than 2 hours. If the rest is interrupted by a period of strenuous activity - at least 1 hour of walking, fighting, casting Jutsu, or similar adventuring activity - the characters must begin the rest again to gain any benefit from it.
At the end of a Long Rest, a character regains all lost Hit Points and Chakra Points. The character also regains spent Hit Dice and Chakra Dice, up to a number of dice equal to half of the character’s total number of them (minimum of one die). For example, if a character has eight Hit Dice and eight Chakra Dice, he or she can regain four spent Hit and Chakra Dice upon finishing a Long Rest.
A character can’t benefit from more than one Long Rest in a 24-hour period, and a character must have at least 1 hit point at the start of the rest to gain its benefits.
Characters that are Poisoned can not gain the benefit of a long rest.
8. Combat
The shrieks of kunai cutting through the air flying overhead. The clash of an Uchiha’s Fireball colliding against a Hyuga’s Palm Rotation. The crackle of lightning emanating from a powerful shinobi’s hands as he yells in despair. The sharp tang of blood in the air, cutting through the stench of vile monsters. Roars of fury, shouts of triumph, cries of pain. Combat in D&D can be chaotic, deadly, and thrilling.
This chapter provides the rules you need for your characters and monsters to engage in combat, whether it is a brief skirmish or an extended conflict in a dungeon or on a field of battle. Throughout this chapter, the rules address you, the player or Game Master. The Game Master controls all the monsters and non-player characters involved in combat, and each other player controls an adventurer. “You” can also mean the character or monster that you control.
Interrupting
When you hit a creature who is currently utilizing either the Tree Walking Technique or the Water Walking technique, they must roll a Constitution Saving throw as if they were rolling to keep concentration. If they fail, they are Interrupted and the technique fails, causing them to either fall of the surface they are walking on or fall into the water.
The DM can also call for an Interruption check if there is a significant change in the environment. As an example, although you were not hit with a jutsu while walking on water, a powerful water release jutsu was cast, causing the water to become very rough and wavy - thus making it difficult to keep your balance.
Clashing Jutsu
All Characters within this system have access to some form of Jutsu - whether it be Ninjutsu, Taijutsu or Genjutsu Casting. Each Jutsu has a casting time, which specifies whether the caster must use an action, a reaction, minutes, or even hours to cast the Jutsu. Casting a Jutsu is, therefore, bnot necessarily an action. Most Jutsu do have a casting time of 1 action, so casting a Ninjutsu, Taijutsu or Genjutsu often uses his or her action in combat to cast such a Jutsu.
Oftentimes, jutsu will interact, causing a clash in the process. It is ultimately the GM's call to make when a clash occurs, but many jutsu interact with each other in minor ways as well as larger ones. Jutsu of one of the base five chakra affinity have an elemental advantage over one of the other five. Clashing is a mechanic that doesn't have a major rule set, as jutsu can interact in many different ways. Ultimately, your GM and players have to determine what type of jutsu clash work for them.
In some cases, it may make sense to have a jutsu with an elemental advantage roll with advantage when clashing against a vulnerable affinity, but this won't always be the case.
The following is the circle of Elemental Superiority; (‘>’ means the nature release to the left of this symbol is superior to the nature release on the right of it.)
Fire > Wind > Lightning > Earth > Water > Fire
Example:
Shinobi A uses Lightning Style: Shocking Bolt. When rolling to hit, they roll an 18 against Shinobi B's AC, which is 14. Shinobi B has an earth affinity, and uses Earth Style: Terra Shield, adding +5 to their AC (which is now 19) to cause the attack to miss.
As this is two jutsu clashing head on, and one of which has an advantage over the other, the GM could rule that both Shinobi involved roll a d20, adding their JUTSU modifer to the roll. The Shinobi with an elemental advantage rolls with advantage.
Whoever rolls the higher result wins the clash. If Shinobi B wins the clash, their Terra Shield holds and the Lighning Style: Shocking Bolt is mitigated. If Shinobi A wins the clash, the Terra Shield breaks and thus loses its effect as Shinobi B is hit with Shocking Bolt.
9. Jutsu Casting
Magic exists in the worlds of Naruto in the form of Jutsu. This chapter provides the rules for casting these Jutsu. There are Three Types of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. Jutsu follow the following rules here.
What is a Jutsu?
A Jutsu is a discrete or blatantly obvious effect, a shaping of chakra from one’s body that creates a desired effect. In casting a Jutsu, a character carefully constructs the desired effect using their chakra, and then releases it, all in the span of a few seconds.
Jutsu can be versatile tools, powerful weapons, or protective wards. They can deal damage or heal it, impose or remove conditions (see Conditions), drain life energy away, and restore life to the dead.
A great number of Jutsu exist and over time many have been created and forgotten. An ancient Ninjutsu technique may exist in a long-lost Ninja Scroll.
Jutsu Known
Before a Shinobi can use a Jutsu, he or she must have the Jutsu learned. Once a Jutsu’s learned, it is always prepared. In Naruto 5e, there is not a limit to how many jutsu a Shinobi may learn, but they must spend time and effort in-game during down time to learn these techniques.
All Shinobi are able to learn Jutsu from the Common list, but others require specific chakra natures or bloodlines. Characters will begin with a couple of jutsu their character starts with (the exact number depending on their class) but from that point on, all other jutsu must be learned through in-game down time. In the official
Chakra Points
Regardless of how many Jutsu a ninja knows, he or she can cast only a limited number of Jutsu before resting. Manipulating your Chakra and channeling its energy into even a simple Jutsu is physically and mentally taxing, and higher-Ranked Jutsu are even more so.
Each class’s description includes a table showing that classes Chakra Die (Similar to the Classes Hit die). When a character casts a Jutsu he or she expends a number of points based on the chakra cost of the Jutsu to cast it.
When Sakura casts Substitution Technique, a D-Rank Jutsu she spends 3 of her 12 chakra points, leaving 9 remaining. Finishing a long rest restores all of your maximum chakra points.
Casting in Armor
Because of the mental focus and precise gestures required for Hand Seal Weaving, you must be proficient with the armor you are wearing to cast a Jutsu. You are otherwise too distracted and physically hampered by your armor for Jutsu casting.
Casting a Jutsu
When a character casts any Jutsu, the same basic rules are followed, regardless of the character’s class or the Jutsu’s effects.
Each Jutsu’s description in the Naruto 5e Jutsu Compendium contains a block of information, including the Jutsu’s name, Rank, Chakra Cost, prerequisites (if it has any), casting time, range, and duration. The rest of a Jutsu entry describes the Jutsu’s effect.
Learning a Jutsu
In order to learn a new jutsu and add it to your jutsu list, you must train in order to master the technique. This training can be done in a variety of ways, and will take an amount of time depending on the Jutsu's rank. In order to learn a Jutsu, a ninja must either learn it from a scroll or be taught by another who is able to use that jutsu. You also may wish to create your own jutsu. There's a google doc that I'll share with you guys to give you the point system.
Learning from a Scroll
Jutsu scrolls can be bought, found during a mission, or even stolen from enemy ninja. A scroll will have information regarding a specific jutsu within it. Although costs are listed for all scrolls, it is extremely unlikely that one would be able to find an B-ranked or higher Jutsu scroll in any place that is legal. DMs should keep in mind that Jutsu are considered sacred and all Shinobi fight with their lives to prevent their secrets from falling into the wrong hands.
Jutsu Ranking | Hours Needed | Chakra Cost |
---|---|---|
E | 12 Hours | 3 Chakra |
D | 24 Hours | 5 Chakra |
C | 48 Hours | 7 Chakra |
B | 84 Hours | 9 Chakra |
A | 168 Hours | 11 Chakra |
S | 594 Hours | 13 Chakra |
Learning from a Mentor
In some cases, you may be able to find another individual who has agreed to teach you a technique. When learning from a mentor, your mentor must be present while you are training. Your mentor could be a jonin, a chunin, or even a genin, or kage. Their rank doesn't matter, as long as the jutsu you wish to learn is a part of their jutsu list.
Jutsu Ranking | Hours Needed |
---|---|
E | 10 Hours |
D | 20 Hours |
C | 40 Hours |
B | 70 Hours |
Jutsu Ranking | Hours Needed |
---|---|
A | 140 Hours |
S | 420 Hours |
Creating a New Jutsu
Many Shinobi are known for their unique jutsu styles that can't be found anywhere else in the Naruto World. If you're interested in creating your own jutsu, then you can find information here about how long it will take you to master it depending on the rank of the jutsu. Think carefully about what you want your jutsu to do and then consult the Building a Jutsu google doc. It will help you create a fair and balanced jutsu that is appropriate for the rank you assign it. However, if you're really not sure, feel free to ask in our discord for advice on how to balance it and I'll help out if we can.
Jutsu Ranking | Hours Needed | Chakra Cost |
---|---|---|
E | 16 Hours | 5 Chakra |
D | 32 Hours | 7 Chakra |
C | 64 Hours | 9 Chakra |
B | 112 Hours | 11 Chakra |
A | 224 Hours | 13 Chakra |
S | 672 Hours | 15 Chakra |
Training
In order to learn a jutsu, Shinobi must put a certain amount of hours into training. Upon meeting the hour requirement, this will allow them to master the technique and it can be officially added to their Jutsu List. Training follows the following rules:
- A Shinobi can only be learning an amount of Jutsu equal to half their proficiency bonus at one time.
- Shinobi must expend an amount of Chakra listed under the 'Chakra Cost' per hour spent training each day. These tables may be different depending on whether you are learning from a scroll, from a mentor, or creating an entirely new jutsu so look closely.
- Training is a strenuous activity. If a Shinobi trains for more than 8 hours in one day, they will suffer from a level of exhaustion.
- Shinobi with a level exhaustion can not participate in training.
Learning Higher Ranked Jutsu
As your character grows stronger and gains more experience as a Shinobi, they will be able to learn and create higher-ranked jutsu.
As a general rule of thumb, you can cast higher rank jutsus at the following appropriate levels;
- C-Rank Starting at 5th Level
- B-Rank Starting at 9th level
- A-Rank Starting at 13th level
- S-Rank Starting at 17th level
Appendix A: Damage Types
The damage types of the Narutoverse alter slightly from base Dungeons & Dragons, having to fill new requirements to keep the balance between Chakra Natures. While some damage types remained, others were replaced or flat out removed. Each damage type is associated with a particular element or style of jutsu, depending on what was required.
Piercing, Slashing, Bludgeoning
These three damage types make a reappearance in Naruto 5e, serving as the primary damage for most weapons.
Piercing damage is commonly dealt with a stabbing weapon such as a dagger.
Slashing damage is commonly dealt with a slashing weapon such as a longsword.
Bludgeoning damage is commonly dealt with an impact weapon or unarmed strikes.
Force
Force damage is non-elemental jutsu damage, and would most commonly be dealt with jutsu that are not associated with one particularly element.
A popular example of this would be the Rasengan.
Thunder
Thunder is damage dealt to the eardrums, and is dealt in sound-based Jutsu.
Earth
Earth damage is elemental jutsu damage, dealt when utilizing techniques in Earth Release.
Fire
Fire damage is elemental jutsu damage, dealt when utilizing techniques in Fire Release.
Ice
Ice damage is elemental jutsu damage, dealt when utilizing techniques in Ice Release. It can also be afflicted in extremely cold conditions.
Lightning
Lightning damage is elemental jutsu damage, dealt when utilizing techniques in Lightning Release.
Water
Water damage is elemental jutsu damage, dealt when utilizing techniques in Water Release.
Wind
Wind damage is elemental jutsu damage, dealt when utilizing techniques in Wind Release.
Psychic
Psychic is damage done to the psyche, only used and dealt by those who wield Genjutsu.
Poison
Poison damage is often neutral, as any individual can technically learn to utilize its effects. As there are so many poisons (both medicinal and jutsu-wise) in the Narutoverse, we believed that it required its own damage type.
Appendix B: Conditions
Conditions alter a creature’s capabilities in a variety of ways and can arise as a result of a jutsu, a class feature, a monster’s Attack, or other Effect. Most conditions, such as blinded, are impairments, but a few, such as invisible, can be advantageous.
A condition lasts either until it is countered (the prone condition is countered by standing up, for example) or for a Duration specified by the Effect that imposed the condition.
If multiple Effects impose the same condition on a creature, each instance of the condition has its own Duration, but the condition’s Effects don’t get worse. A creature either has a condition or doesn’t.
The following definitions specify what happens to a creature while it is subjected to a condition.
Bleeding

Enflamed
- An Enflamed creature takes a number of fire damage equal to their proficiency bonus at the end of each of their turns.
- The flames are put out if the creature is hit by a Water Release technique, or submerges themself in water. The creature may also use a bonus action to splash nearby water onto the fire (if submerging is not an option by movement) or an action to smother the flames with another source.
Frightened
- A frightened creature has disadvantage on Ability Checks and Attack rolls while the source of its fear is within Line of Sight.

Appendix C: Companion Statistics
F
or those playing a class that grants the Companion feature, you'll need to select a base stat block for your Companion. Your Companion will scale along with you as you take levels in that class, and its play style can be greatly alternated depending on which creature you choose as a base. Although the Companion's default abilities are granted by your class, its base stats are determined by its base along with a few racial features and you may choose its alignment.
Your Companion's level scales with yours, and will gain Ability Score Improvements at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level. Your companion may also take feats if you wish, but does have to meet the requirements for said feat.
Your Companion's Armor Class equals the Base Armor Class listed in their stat block + your proficiency bonus.
Your Companion's Hit Points equals the Hit Point Multiplier listed in their stat block * your Companion Class level.
