CHAPTER 10-12: NINJUTSU, TAIJUTSU, &

GENJUTSU LIST
Chapter 10-12 is broken up into 3 different chapters to keep Ninjutsu,
Taijutsu and Genjutsu separate.

CHAPTER 13: CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Chapter 13 is designed to offer players the full list of feats, fighting
styles, and other customization options your game can benefit from.

CHAPTER 14: ALLIES & ADVERSARIES

This chapter is more use to the GM than the players, in that it offers
premade ordinary and heroic characters, as well as statistics for the
characters proper to the Naruto series, including popular names such
as Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha,
and even Orochimaru.

BINGO BOOK (MONSTER MANUAL)

There is a Monster Manual in development. This should provide a
variety of new enemy types, prolific and generic low- and high-level
enemies created in this system.

KAGE GUIDE (DM GUIDE)

There is a DM’s guide currently in development alongside the
Monster manual. This book will provide a list of variable rules, ways
to design campaigns, how to handle events such as the Chunin exam,
a comprehensive list of Chakra enhanced Items, loot tables and how
to handle Factions, Village Ranks Mission tables and much more.

ACTIVE VS PASSIVE FEATURES
There are two types of features in Naruto 5e, Active features and
Passive features and the following will help define them in the few
niche cases where it matters or is referenced.

ACTIVE FEATURES
Active features are features that require some input from the player
to activate or gain their benefits. Examples include dice-based
mechanics that require you to roll or spend a die in the moment,
special actions that spend a special resource. Any feature that costs
or requires something prior to gaining its benefits.

PASSIVE FEATURES
Passive features are any features that require no input from the
player but still grants them all of its benefits. A large majority of
features within the system are passive such as having access to a
nature release, class-based movement speed bonuses etc.

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 Scout-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 Weapon Specialist 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?

PROFICIENCIES
Each background gives a character proficiency in two skills. In
addition, most backgrounds give a character proficiency with one or
more tools. If a character would gain the same proficiency from two
different sources, they can choose a different proficiency of the
same kind (skill or tool) instead.

EQUIPMENT
Each background provides a package of starting equipment.

BACKGROUND FEATURE & ABILITY SCORE

INCREASE (ASI)
Each background gives a character a background feature and a
choice between a single Ability Score Increase or Feat without an
Ability Score Increase.

SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTIC
A background contains suggested personal characteristics based on
your background. You can pick characteristics, roll dice to determine
them randomly, or use the suggestions as inspiration for
characteristics of your own creation.

LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS

By virtue of being human you speak Common, which allows you to
communicate with people from all over the ninja world. But each
Country has its own dialects that twist common into their own
pseudo language, making it extremely difficult for a person from the
land of Fire to understand someone from the land of Water if they
only spoke their countries dialect and didn’t use standard common.
There are also entire “Speaks” that designates an animal’s ability to

not count as chakra enhanced in any way.

GEMS, JEWELRY, AND VALUABLE ARTIFACTS.

These items retain their full value in the marketplace, and you can
either trade them in for Ryo or use them as currency for other
transactions. For exceptionally valuable treasures, the GM might
require you to find a buyer in a large city or even another country.

ARMOR
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. 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. Wearing armor
that you are proficient in grants you the armors, Armor Bonus, any
potential Dexterity Bonus as well as half of your Proficiency Bonus
(Rounded down) to your AC Calculation. If you wear armor that you
lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any skill check,
saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and
Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or Genjutsu Cast.

actions can only be seen with a successful Search action vs a DC 15.

Kunai/Shuriken with wire attached. Select a 10-foot space within 30 feet
of you. If a creature enters or moves through this space, this trap is
sprung, causing the target to fall prone. Once the trap is set, you cannot
move further than 30 feet away from this chosen space or the trap is
disabled.
Explosive Wire Field. For this trap, use the mechanics of the Trip Trap
except, you spend 1 Explosive tool of your choice and when a creature
triggers this trap, the explosive tool detonates forcing the creature to
make their save at disadvantage.

MISSION XP/RYO/DOWNTIME CALCULATION

When you are deciding on a mission Rank and tier, you are pre-
emptively deciding on the Experience (XP) budget for the mission as
well as the Downtime and Ryo rewards for completing the mission. The
following are the base experience (XP) budgets, Ryo and downtime
reward ranges and are based on the base ranks of the mission taken;
• D-Rank: 300 XP, 50~200 Ryo, 2~5 (1d4+1) Downtime.
• C-Rank: 600 XP, 200~500 Ryo, 3~8 (1d6+2) Downtime.
• B-Rank: 900 XP, 500~1,500 Ryo, 5~11 (2d4+3) Downtime.
• A-Rank: 1200 XP, 1,500~5,000 Ryo, 7~16 (3d4+4) Downtime.
• S-Rank: 1500 XP, 5,000~10,000 Ryo, 9~21 (4d4+5) Downtime.

Once a mission rank is decided, you can then take the next step in
deciding on the tier of the mission. Depending on the tier of the mission
you increase the values of all budgets and rewards based on the tier.
• Trivial: Reduce all values by 25%, Reduce all adversary levels by 2.
• Moderate: No Change. All adversaries are the same level of players.
• Extreme. Increase all Values by 25%, Increase all adversary levels by
2.

PURCHASING ENCOUNTERS
Once you have the experience (XP) budget set, the next thing that you
should do is figure out what type of encounters you want in your
mission.
You can figure this out by purchasing different types of encounters
that you can tweak to fit your campaigns narrative or theme.

ATTITUDES

Rank Attitude Effect

1 Hostile A hostile creature is one that seeks to actively harm a character, either physically, emotionally, politically or financially. A
creature with this attitude will never help the object of its hostility.
2 Unfriendly A creature that is unfriendly actively dislikes and specifically distrusts that character. A creature with this attitude will avoid
receiving aid or helping the creature it is unfriendly towards, but won’t turn it down if their life is in danger.
3 Indifferent A creature that is indifferent to a character doesn't really care one way or the other about that character. Assume a creatur e's
attitude to a given character is indifferent unless specified otherwise.
4 Friendly A creature that is friendly to a character likes that character. The character can attempt to make a request of a friendly
creature, and the friendly creature is likely to agree to a simple and safe request that doesn't cost it much to fulfill. If the
character or one of their allies uses hostile actions against the creature, the creature reduces its attitude rank by 2 or more
depending on the severity of the hostile action, as determined by the GM.
5 Helpful A creature that is helpful to a character wish to actively aid that character. It will accept reasonable requests from that
character, as long as such requests aren't at the expense of the helpful creature's goals or quality of life. If the characte r or
one of their allies uses a hostile action against the creature, the creature reduces its attitude rank by 3 or more depending on
the severity of the hostile action, as determined by the GM.

CREATING A JUTSU
When you want to train towards Creating a Jutsu you are embarking
on a journey that no one else has. The Jutsu you may create may be
a minor form of Medical ninjutsu, or it may be an all-powerful multi–
Elemental Jutsu. Either way this is a much more difficult and involved
process than learning a Jutsu. As a Jutsu creator, you must not only
create the Jutsu’s Effects, but you must decide how much power it
has, how much chakra it costs and the requirements needed to even
perform it. Do you need the Visual prowess of the Sharingan to pull
this jutsu off? Do you need the massive reserves of chakra like an
Uzumaki to use it? Do you only need to have access to the Wind
Affinity to use it? These are considerations you must undertake to
begin the process of Jutsu Creation.
While building your Jutsu, you must first decide on your jutsu’s
rank. This decision will inform you how many effects your jutsu can
hold and the final cost of your jutsu. Your jutsu will have a number of
slots depending on its rank and starting restrictions, which limit
when or how you can cast your chosen jutsu.

NINJUTSU CREATION RULES

The second step of developing your ninjutsu is to figure out the base

Components, and whether it will be a ranged or melee Jutsu. While
selecting the required keywords for your Jutsu, keep in mind select
jutsu types have mandatory Components and regardless of what type of
jutsu you make your jutsu must have at least 1 Component. If your jutsu
does not have a requirement in the list (Such as in the Prerequisite

STEP THREE: EFFECTS

Giant Rasengan is a powerful attack but lacks support or defensive
qualities. It does have a powerful knock back effect, so to decide on
the two types Giant Rasengan will pick from, we are left with
Offensive and Control.
Now, going down the list, we know we have 9 effect slots to fill,
so we are going to want the following effects;
Clash (1): The Rasengan’s biggest appeal comes when he clashes
with Sasuke’s Chidori.
Bruising (1): We know that this jutsu can cause some physical
damage, enough to break bone and leave bruises for sure.
Critical (1): We know that this jutsu can dish out some serious
damage if it score a good hit on an adversaries weak point.

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 nonplayer characters involved in
combat, and each other player controls an adventurer. “You” can also
mean the character or monster that you control.

THE ORDER OF COMBAT

A typical combat encounter is a clash between two sides, a flurry of

Used in hand-to-hand combat, a melee attack allows you to attack a

monster makes a melee attack when it strikes with its claws, horns,
teeth, tentacles, or other body part. A few Jutsu also involve making a
melee attack.

Ranks describe the level of power a jutsu, item, or in some cases a shinobi
is expected to have. There are effectively 6 ranks within the hierarchy of
jutsu and shinobi. E, D, C, B, A & S-Rank. Most Jutsu require a single action to cast, but some Jutsu’s require a
bonus action, a reaction, or much more time to cast.

investigate in any order, are nonlinear, and the group can face
encounters in any order—or even avoid them entirely. Most
adventures are somewhere in between, with some keystone
encounters you know the characters will need to content with, but
others that are optional.

TREASURE
Your adventure should give out an amount of treasure that’s
appropriate to the characters’ level. You can dole out treasure in all
kinds of ways. Treasure can be items carried by adversaries, rewards
from a patron, or simply the rewards for completing the mission
within the given time limits. It’s best to spread treasure throughout a
mission rather than stockpiled In a single hoard. This gives the
players incremental rewards, letting their characters advance in
frequent small steps rather than giant leaps separated by many
hours of play.

PREPARING MISSIONS
A mission is a self-contained collection of story elements, characters
and setting that become the basis for the story you and the other
players tell. Think of the mission as an outline for your own story.
You’ll have major beats you want to include, some consistent
characters and themes you want to convey, but all sorts of things
can change during the process of turning the outline into a
completed story.
You might use a published mission from the community or come
up with your own as your prepare for your game sessions.

CREATING MISSIONS
Building your own mission is much more challenging that using a
published mission from the community, but it lets your express
yourself, be even more creative, and tailor the game directly to the
players and their characters. Later sections in this book, include
guidelines for building and running encounters, placing treasure, and
setting appropriately difficult challenges, all to help you construct
your own missions.
Mission plotting can start at many different points. You might
begin with a particular antagonist, then construct a mission that fits
their villains theme and leads the group to them. Alternatively, you
could start with an interesting location for exploration, then
populate it with adversaries and challenges appropriate to the
setting.

LOCATIONS
Memorable setting that includes mysterious and foreign locations
for players to visit and elicit the players’ curiosity. Exploring each
location should be a treat in itself, not just a chore the players must
complete to get from one fight to the next. As you create a locale,
picture it in your mind’s eye and write down minor details you can
include as you narrate the game. Describing the decoration, natural
landmarks, wildlife, peculiar smells, and even temperature changes
make a place feel more real.
Beyond monsters and loot, your locations include environment-
based challenges, from environmental conditions like blizzards to
puzzles, traps, or other hazards. These challenges should suit your
missions location; walls of brambles in a castle ruin overrun with
vegetation, pools of acid in a cursed swamp, or mystical traps in the
tomb of a paranoid daimyo. Rules for environments and hazards
appear later in this book.

ENCOUNTERS
A robust set of encounters forms the backbone of your campaign.
Encounters often feature combat, environmental hazards, and social
encounters in which the players duel with other creatures, the
world, and with their words. The rules for building encounters
appropriate to your groups level begin later in this book.

JUTSU MODIFIERS
While each class provides you with modifiers for each of your 3
differing types of Jutsu, multiclassing can seemingly complicate things.
To simplify this, you only follow the Jutsu Save DC and Jutsu Modifiers
of the class you have the most levels in, as that class is what you have
put most of your focus on. In the event you have an equal level in 2 or
more classes, you select the class you want to use, Jutsu Save/Jutsu
modifiers. You cannot pick and choose; you must select a class suite of
saves/modifiers.
