GAMEMASTER'S HELPER — VOLUME I
This book is intended to provide a wide variety of new techniques, feats and curios to
enhance the flavor of new or existing campaigns. Though many of these items are of
vastly different flavors, they should serve to imbue world elements with great flavor in
highly concentrated doses.

FOREWORD AND INTRODUCTION

It's been a long time since I released anything, and to be perfectly honest with you, I've
been staring at this foreword for a while as well. Though I never really talked about this
book, it's a collection of works I've created over the years and decided to update and put
together in a package that could be enjoyed by anyone and everyone.

Thus I present to you the Game Master's Helper, Volume I ... a haphazard collection of
strange and wonderful things that may or may not blow you away but is sure to be useful
in providing renewed inspiration and, perhaps, infuse your campaigns with vigor.

It is my sincere hope that you find something of value in this book and continue to take
pleasure in my work. Until next time, enjoy.
— Frankto Vinneti, the author

SECTION I: NEW TECHNIQUES

This chapter contains 71 new techniques of various styles for characters from all walks of
life. Included among these are four new styles of ninjutsu and taijutsu, each with a brief
history provided for you below.
Ao Higi: Invented by a mad puppeteer whose name is lost to history, this style of
puppetry focuses on power over the true versatility of most puppeteers. It is said that a
puppeteer equipped with the Blue Secret Techniques has the power to bring down whole
empires, like its creator once did.
Haradou: This style has been passed down from priest to acolyte, from monk to
neophyte in temples and monastary for ages, as a tool for meditation and on the path to
enlightenment. In recent years, however, the style has been weaponized to serve as a
defense against the onslaught of demons and the manifestation of true evil. Though many
consider the weaponization of the Way of Purification blasphemous, it has given rise to
many "battle acolytes" in recent years.
Hatsusen Bujutsu: This ancient style is spoken of in tall tales and whispers, and
tells of warriors of prodigious powers borne with the ability to defeat armies and move
mountains with the touch of a finger. While not entirely true, the style of the Eight
Immortals nevertheless favors judicious application of agility and speed over brawn.
Juuryuu Kenjutsu: Born in the mind of a woman with a passionate, and voracious,
love for battle, the Ten-Ton Style of kenjutsu focuses on absolute earthshaking power
over anyting else. Though it lacks in finesse and doesn't follow many precepts and rituals
typical of martial arts schools, Juuryuu Kenjutsu is regarded by enthusiasts everywhere as
one of the ultimate killing arts.

save. Any creature in the area where the edge of the barrier would appear takes damage as
though going through the barrier, but can avoid the wall and take no damage on a
successful save, ending up on the side of its choice.

The cyclone barrier provides one-half cover against attacks made through it, and any
projectiles such as arrows and thrown weapons have a 20% miss chance on attacks made
through the barrier, but ballistic weapons are unaffected. Gases, most gaseous breath
weapons, and creatures in gaseous form cannot pass through the wall (although
incorporeal creatures are unaffected).

the movement provoke attacks of opportunity. This technique can be performed as a
move action for 4 chakra to move 50 feet instead. If the user cannot find a place to land at
the end of the movement, he begins to fall.

Mastery
The second and fourth steps of mastery increase the range by 10 feet, or 20 feet when
performed as a move action. The tumble rank requirement increases by 3 each time.

Fuuton: Egukiri (Wind Style: Excavation Drill)

Ninjutsu (Fuuton; requires Ninpou: Chakra Nagashi (3)) [Armed, Hijutsu, Wind]

Throws: None; Chakra Resistance: Yes; Chakra Cost: 5.
The user imbues his slicing weapon with more chakra. A split instant before being
activated, the power in the weapon surges to form a huge conical drill that ravages the
enemy.

This technique can only be used on a chakra current weapon currently imbued with the
Slicing effect. The weapon is imbued with a wind drill that can be activated as a swift
action immediately before making an attack. The wind drill is discharged whether or not
the attack hits, and uses two attacks of the Slicing effect. If the slicing effect had 2 or less
attacks, it is consumed.

Attacking with the wind drill is a touch attack made with the weapon and deals weapon
damage plus 4d6 as half wind, half piercing damage, and can be done as an attack action
or as part of a full-attack action. The weapon gains increased reach by 5 feet when
attacking with the wind drill, but can still target adjacent enemies. The damage ignores all
hardness and damage reduction, but not energy resistance and is still subject to chakra
resistance.

Empower
The user can pay 1 chakra to increase the damage by one die, maximum one-half his level
plus 2 or 12d6.
The user can pay 4 chakra to increase the size of the drill just before the attack. The wind
drill attack allows the user to make a free attack against a secondary target in the square
behind the target, relative to his own position. The attack is made at a -4 penalty and
deals half damage.

Mastery
The fifth step of mastery does allows the technique to be used without the Slicing effect
already active and applies the effect on the weapon for the next two successful attacks
after activating the drill or 1 minute.
Material Focus: A chakra current weapon.

attack roll. The attack gains kawarimi defense 2, ignores all hardness and up to 5 points
of damage reduction. If it hits, the attack deals 2d8 points of piercing damage.
The attack cannot score a critical hit but deals an additional 2 damage die on a natural roll
of 20. The attack deals double damage to unattended objects. A small rock or similar
object can also be used, but imposes a -2 penalty to the attack roll.

Empower
The user can pay 1 chakra to increase the damage by one die, up to his level or 10 die.
The user gains a +1 bonus to the attack roll for every 2 chakra spent.

damage, and the target must make a Fortitude save. On a failed save, the target is pulled
into a square adjacent to the user and takes an extra 3d6 points of wind damage.

Defensive Maneuver: Once per day, the user can perform this technique as an instant
action against an enemy attack or technique that requires a Reflex save and targets a
single creature or square within 30 feet. Skill threshold does not apply to defensive
maneuvers, and using this technique in a threatened area provokes an attack of
opportunity.

To defend against the attack, the user must make a Perform check (as per Fuuton Hijutsu:
Shinkuuken, mastery counts) opposed to the opponent's attack roll or technique's Save DC
+7. Attempting to defend against a technique with the Fire descriptor in this manner
imposes a -4 penalty on the user’s perform check.

A successful check means the target of the attack or effect is gains a +5 bonus to its
Reflex save. Failure by more than 10 means that the chakra spent trying to avoid the
attack is wasted, and the technique fails.

This defensive maneuver must be declared before knowing the result of the attack and
costs 5 chakra. The user can defend against a technique, spell or effect from an opponent
with a Challenge Rating equal to his level or 10, whichever is lower.

Mastery
Every step of mastery after the first increases the number of times per day this technique
can be used by 1.

can defend against to his level or 5, whichever is lower, as well as improving the bonus to
Reflex save gained by the target by 1.

The user can relocate any creature within range to any free space up to 40 feet away that
is large enough to hold the subject and that the subject has line of effect to. This
technique cannot move a creature through solid objects.

Defensive Maneuver: The user can use this technique to defend any ally within 30 feet or
himself against any effect that requires an attack roll, Fortitude save or Reflex save once
per day. The user makes a Ninjutsu check against the attack roll or the saving throw DC
+15 (mastery applies). Skill threshold does not apply to defensive maneuvers.

A successful check means the ally is relocated 25 feet and is not subject to the attack, but
only if the subject is relocated out of the area of effect. A check failed by more than 10
means the chakra is wasted and the attempt fails. Normal restrictions for defensive
maneuvers still apply.

Empower
The user can spend 5 chakra to affect an additional creature, maximum 1 creature every 7
levels.
The user can spend 1 chakra to increase the distance a creature can be relocated by 5 feet.

Mastery
Each step of mastery after the first allows this technique to be used an additional time per
day and increases the distance the subject can be moved by 5 feet.

Rank: 14 (S-Class); Learn DC: 35, 3 success; Perform requirements: 18 ranks (DC
34); Time: 1 attack action or 1 instant action; Components: C, H; Range: 50 feet (see
text); Effects: Creates a tear in spacetime; Duration: 1 round or Instantaneous; Saving
Throws: None (see text); Chakra Resistance: Yes; Chakra Cost: 20.

The user creates a tear in spacetime that enables up to one Medium-size creature every 3
levels to step through and teleport to any point selected by the user up to 30 feet per level
away. If the point of arrival is not within line of sight, any creature that steps through
must make a Fortitude save or take 6d6 points of damage.

Defensive Maneuver: Once per day, the user can perform this technique as an instant
action against an enemy area of effect effect, spell or technique that requires a Reflex
save, so long as it is perormed within 50 feet. Skill threshold does not apply to defensive
maneuvers, and using this technique in a threatened area provokes an attack of
opportunity.

To defend against the attack, the user must make a Perform check (as per Spacetime
Ninjutsu: Worldfolding Barrier, mastery counts) opposed to the opponent technique's
Save DC +7.

A successful check means the point of impact of the attack or technique is moved up to
10 feet per level to any point within line of sight, as though it had been the original point
of origin. Failure by more than 10 means that the chakra spent trying to avoid the attack is
wasted, and the technique fails.

This defensive maneuver must be declared before knowing the result of the attack and
costs 20 chakra. The user can defend against a technique, spell or effect from an opponent
with a Challenge Rating equal to his level or 15, whichever is lower.

Mastery
Every step of mastery after the first increases the number of times per day this technique
can be used by 1.
The second and fourth steps of mastery increase the Challenge Rating of attacks the user
can defend against to his level or 5, whichever is lower.

With a powerful leap and a surge of Wind chakra, the user darts to his destination. The
resulting shockwave bowls over anything unfortunate enough to get in his way.

This technique can only be performed while executing a charge. The user makes his
charge attack normally, but provokes no attacks of opportunity for moving through
threatened areas and suffers no penalty for moving through difficult terrain. The charge
movement is treated as shundou for the purpose of being spotted and triggering traps.

After the charge attack, regardless whether or not it hits, all creatures adjacent to the user
must make a Fortitude save or take 3d6 points of wind damage and being pushed back
1d6x5 feet. The knockback distance and damage dealt to the target of the charge is
doubled. Chakra resistance applies only to this effect.

Empower
The user can spend 2 chakra to increase the wind damage by 1 die and the knockback
distance by +1, up to 6d6 wind damage and 1d6+3x5 knockback.

The user makes a melee attack with his held weapon. If it hits, target must make a
Fortitude save or suffer weapon damage plus 12d6 and loses use of one of its limbs for
1d6 rounds (determine randomly). A successful save means the target suffers weapon
damage plus 6d6 instead and does not lose use of a limb.

On a natural roll of 20, followed by a confirmed critical, the target is decapitated and
slain instantly on a failed save. A creature immune to critical hits or sneak attack
automatically succeeds a saving throw against this technique, and a creature immune to
death effects still suffers the effects but does not lose a limb or suffer decapitation.

A creature slain by this technique is grievously maimed. The difficulty class of a

forensics check on the body increases by 10 until the body is reconstructed via
Necromancy (see Forensics Training feat). A creature can automatically makes its saving
throw if the technique was used against it within the last 24 hours.

of the technique (up to +10), minimum 28. The user suffers a further -4 penalty to this
check when not using C-Class chakra threads or better. Skill threshold does not apply to
avoid an attack.

A successful check causes the puppet to be surrounded by a force cage until the end of
that initiative count. The force cage stops any effect that cannot pass through a force
effect, but is immediately dismissed once bypassed. A force cage is destroyed when it
suffers 10 damage per level of the user. The chakra threads will be detached as a result of
using this technique. This technique can only be used once per day against an attack from

glean information about its chakra the longer he concentrates. Concentrating on this
technique is a full-round action, and allows the user to maintain concentration on the
Sense Chakra or Remote Sensing abilities, should they require any.

Gleaning information on the target requires a series of Concentration checks of varying

To defend against the attack, the user must make a Perform check (mastery counts)
opposed to the technique or effect's attack roll or Save DC +5. Success relocates the
effect to any location within range, line of sight and line of effect. The effect still requires
a saving throw if it would affect any target, but the duration of any lasting conditions is
reduced to the minimum possible variable, while any numeric penalty imposed or effect
duration calculated in units of time per level is halved and any direct damage dealt by the
effect is subjected to a maximum of 40 points of damage.

Defensive maneuver must be declared before knowing the result of the attack. Failure by
more than 10 means that the chakra spent trying to avoid the attack is wasted, and the
technique fails. Defensive maneuver has a chakra cost of 10 and allows the user to defend
against a technique, spell or effect from an opponent with a Challenge Rating equal to his
level.

Defensive Maneuver does not count as Avoiding an Attack and is usable a separate
number of times a day. Using Jikuukan Kekkai as a defensive maneuver counts towards
the number of times other such techniques can be used.

Mastery
Every step of mastery after the first increases the number of times per day this technique
can be used by 1, but no more than once per encounter.
The first, third and fifth step of mastery increase the maximum damage redirected by 20.

Raiton: Denjiha (Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Field)

Ninjutsu (Raiton; requires Touka Kansei no Jutsu (3)) [Electricity, Hijutsu]
Rank: 8 (B-Class); Learn DC: 22, 4 success; Perform requirements: 10 ranks (DC

the user; Target: Electronical device of up to 10 lb./level; Duration: Concentration (up
to 1 round/level) plus 2 minutes; Saving Throws: Fortitude negate (objects); Chakra
Cost: 12.

This technique functions as Touka Kansei no Jutsu, except it disables all electonical
devices weighing 10 pounds per level or less within range for as long as the user
concentrates, plus 2 minutes. Cybernetics are unaffected, and attended objects gain a +2
bonus.

The user must remain within the emanation to concentrate on the technique, and the zone
does not move with the user. This technique cannot be used more than once every hour
on the same object.

Shinkui no Jutsu (Mind Leech Technique)

Genjutsu (requires Kugutsu no Jutsu (5) or Chakra Strings technique (5) and Chakra
Control 15 ranks) [Kinjutsu, Mind-Affecting]

30); Time: 1 attack action; Components: C, H; Range: Personal; Target: One creature;
Duration: Concentration (1 round/level); Saving Throws: See text; Chakra Resistance:
Yes; Chakra Cost: 8.

The user attaches a chakra string to the back of the target's head and reads its thoughts.

The user makes a ranged touch attack against the target. The user gains the Detect
Emotion ability against the target as long as he concentrates. This technique can only be
used against a creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher. The user can concentrate
as long as he retains line of effect against the target.

The chakra string used in this manner can reveal the position of the user and the subject,
as per kugutsu no jutsu. The Detect Emotion effect can be resisted if the subject is aware
of it (see Detect Emotions).

Shukuchi Higi: Itadama (World-belittling Secret Technique: Painball)

Taijutsu (Requires Shukuchi (t) and Speed rank 10 (a))
Rank: 14 (Super S-Class); Learn DC: 31, 6 success; Perform requirements: 19 ranks
(DC 39); Time: 1 attack action; Components: M, Mas; Range: Melee Attack; Target:
One creature; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws: Fortitude partial; Chakra Cost:
15.

The user must be using Speed rank 10 to perform this technique. The user makes a single
unarmed attack against the target, which must make a Spot check against the attack roll or
lose its Dexterity bonus to Defense against the attack as though struck by an invisible
attack.

If the attack hits, it deals triple damage and the target is pushed back a number of feet
equal to the damage done, rounded to the nearest 5-ft. unit unless it makes a successful
Fortitude save; if the target is thrown into an object its size or larger, it suffers damage as
though falling 20 feet (2d6 points). This technique can be used once per encounter.
Mastery
The second and fourth steps of mastery allow this technique to be used an additional time
per encounter.

Soukisei Kansen (Pale Worm Infection)

Ninjutsu (Requires Advanced Bloodline (Symbiote) (f) and kikaichu symbiotes (a))
[Hijutsu]
Rank: 14 (Super S-Class); Learn DC: 31, 7 success; Perform requirements: 19 ranks
(DC 39); Time: 1 attack action; Components: H; Range: Touch; Target: One creature;
Duration: 1 hour (see text); Saving Throws: Fortitude partial (see text); Chakra
Resistance: Yes; Chakra Cost: 15.

The subject is infected by pale worms, a parasite that rests in the chakra-circulatory
system. To fight off the infection, the subject must make a Fortitude save every 10
minutes for one hour while the parasite is incubated; two consecutive successes
eliminates the infection.

If the parasite takes, the user is able to control it like a symbiote and give it one mental
command per round as a free action as long as it remains within 100 feet. The parasite
can cause the subject immense pain, imposing a –4 penalty to attack rolls, ability checks
and skill checks and giving techniques with the Concentration component a 20% chance
to fail for 1 round, or forcefully convert 1d6 points of chakra from the subject's reserves
to its chakra pool. The user can sense and precisely pinpoint the location of any creature
with a fully-incubated parasite within 30 feet.

The parasite lives until it is removed with Surgery (see the Treat Injury skill), although
other means can be employed as well (most likely more dangerous or painful, at the GM's
discretion).

Duration: 1 minute/level or until dropped (D) (see text); Saving Throws: None;
Chakra Resistance: No; Chakra Cost: 8.

The imbued weapon bypasses chakra-based damage reduction and deals 1d6 points of
negative energy damage to living creatures, and grants a +2 bonus to attack rolls against
creatures with the Good allegiance. This technique counts as Ninpou: Chakra Nagashi for
the purposes of using a chakra current weapon.
Material Focus: A thorium, ironium or containment weapon or object.

Youton: Shikon Sousou (Demonic Style: Rites for the Dead Souls)
Ninjutsu (Spacetime; requires Blood Pact (any) (f)) [Evil, Kinjutsu, Summoning]

Time: 1 attack action; Components: C, H, X; Range: Close (10 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels);
Effect: Summons one creature; Duration: Special; Saving Throws: None; Chakra
Cost: 8.

This technique functions like Kuchiyose no Jutsu, except as above and as follow. The
summoned creature belongs to the blood pact, but does not belong to any tribe or clan and
is considered a special creature accessible only with this technique. An elite or paragon
creature can still be summoned, but only through this technique. The cost of the
summoning is increased by 8, and the summon creature expends chakra twice as quickly
as time passes.

The summoned creature has the allegiances evil and chaos and gains a +2 morale bonus
to attack and damage rolls and a +1 luck bonus to Defense and saving throws. While the
summoned creature doesn't hold allegiance to its summoner, it begins with a friendly
attitude towards him, which can be improved or worsened though actions and use of the
Diplomacy skill. Summoned creatures retain this attitude between summonings.

SECTION II: VARIANT TECHNIQUES

The techniques in this section are variations on existing effects, or new effects intended to
be very generic, a type of technique many shinobi may know under different names and
traditions. It is highly encouraged to change things up slightly by increasing or decreasing
the rank or complexity rating to change the technique's type or subtype to a different,
more obscure one. An example would be to change Communication: Stone Carving to a
C-Class Katon ninjutsu that very visibly sears the words into a surface and ignites
combustibles within 5 feet. Such a technique might be called Communication: Firebrand.

Body Slot: Chest. Points: 3 utility. Difficulty: A-Class. Cost: 26. Weight: 20 lbs.
Power Array (Armor Puppets only): When animated and worn as a suit of armor, the
puppet gains the benefit of active Speed and Strength ranks.
Body Slot: Chest. Points: 2 utility. Difficulty: B-Class. Cost: 22. Weight: 10 lbs.

Puppeteer Array (Armor Puppets only): When animated and worn as a suit of armor,
the puppeteer can still animate other puppets.
Body Slot: Chest. Points: 2 utility. Difficulty: B-Class. Cost: 22. Weight: 10 lbs.

SUBSECTION II–D: PUPPET CORES

To complement the new components, new puppet cores were added as well. The first, an
armor puppet that can be worn by the puppeteer and later animated to caught foes off-
guard with explosive burst of power, and a puppet that can transform mid-combat into a
deadly dinosaur.

Armor Puppet: Medium Construct; hp +10; Spd 40 ft.; Defense +1 natural; Grap +0
size; Atk +0 size (1d6+2 slam); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; SQ hardness 3, puppet
immunities; CP +0; Str 14, Dex +0.
Skills: -4 armor check penalty.
Components (3 weapon points, 3 utility points): Head 1—None; Limbs 3—None;
Chest 1—None.
Special: The armor puppet can transform to and from an animated suit of armor each
time it is deanimated or animated. Equipment penalty taken from being defeated applies
to the armor's armor check penalty.
The transformation takes 1 round, and the puppet is unable to take any action or be
reanimated during this process. The suit of armor takes 1 full-round action to be donned
and can be removed by a latch from the inside even when the armor puppet is
deanimated; this process takes 1 full-round action.
The armor puppet must be worn by the puppeteer who animated it, and prevents the
puppeteer from controlling any other puppets while worn. While wearing the armor
puppet, the puppeteer can take actions as though it were its puppet and make skill checks
normally without taking a penalty, and the puppet does not count towards his carried
weight. Furthermore, he gains total cover while the armor puppet is animated, and can
only be targeted when the puppet is deanimated; however, the puppeteer is still subject to
gases, gaze attacks, suffocation and drowning, as well as any effect that would ignore
armor or penetrate total cover, such as being submerged in acid or lava, either partially or
completely.
When the armor puppet is worn but deanimated, it counts as a suit of heavy armor that
weighs as much as the armor puppet weighs, with a +6 armor bonus to Defense (+3
nonproficient), a –4 armor check penalty and a maximum Dexterity bonus of +2.

Iron Tyrant: Large Construct; hp +20; Spd 20 ft.; Defense +3 natural, –1 size; Grap +4
size; Atk –1 size (2d6+13 slam); FS 10 ft. by 10 ft.; Reach 10 ft.; SQ hardness 8, puppet
immunities; CP +5; Str 28, Dex –2.
Skills: -6 armor check penalty.
Components (3 weapon points, 3 utility points): Head 2—None; Limbs 2—None;
Chest 2—None.
Special: The iron tyrant can transform from a balanced form, typically humanoid, to an
attack form at the puppeteer's command, usually that of a massive bipedal lizard. The
transformation takes 1 round, and the puppet is unable to take any action or be reanimated
during this process. When the puppet is deanimated, it automatically reverts to its
balanced form.
When the iron tyrant is in attack form, it suffers a –5 penalty to Defense, but gains a +2
circumstance bonus to attack and weapon damage rolls. In addition, the iron tyrant cannot
benefit from being made from other materials, as it is already made from dark iron.

SECTION IV: OPTIONAL RULES AND SYSTEMS

And lastly, the final section of this book presents experienced and old GMs with a slew of
new optional rules and subsystems to supplement gameplay in unexpected ways. These
systems do not necessarily relate to the character in any way, but can drastically shift the
balance of power on unexpecting players.

Altenative Shinobi Drugs

Though shinobi drugs can often provide helpful boons to a player, the drawbacks may not
necessarily reflect a GM's vision of what may or should happen to risk-taking player, or
are perhaps too easily overlooked, or even too punitive! In order to correct this, an
alternative system for shinobi drug drawbacks was devised which includes drastic
changes to a character's physiology or morphology.
Drawbacks: This column refers to the drawbacks incurred when ingesting the drugs.
Most drugs carry a heavy price along with their impressive physiological changes. Each
time a draw is required by a drug, the GM secretly rolls a d% to determine the side effects
that may be incurred from the table below, applying any modifiers to all draws made for
that drug. Drawbacks can be insidious and unpredictable, and will only manifest after
1d6+1 days, usually, though not always, after a night's sleep. A drawback that incurs a
penalty to an ability score, such as the loss of muscle mass, permanently lowers that
ability score.
D% Drawback¹ D% Drawback¹
1–4 Roll again twice 45–48 Eyes become slitted
5–6 Lose muscle mass (–2 Str) 49–52 Eyes change color
7–8 Lose bone density (–2 Con) 53–56 Hair turns white
9–10 Neurological damage (–2 Dex) 57–60 Fingernails turn black
11–12 Neurological damage (–2 Int) 61–64 Webbed hands and feet
13–14 Neurocognitive deficit (–2 Wis) 65–68 Nose grows ridged
15–16 Neurocognitive deficit (–2 Cha) 69–72 Forehead becomes crested
17–20 Grow a second row of teeth 73–76 Ear tips become pointed
21–24 Tongue becomes forked 77–80 Canine teeth become sharper
25–28 Skin grows darker 81–84 Grow ridges over spine
29–32 Skin grows paler 85–88 Body becomes partially hairless
33–36 Skin turns a different color 89–92 Body becomes completely hairless
37–40 Grow small hrons 93–96 Thick, fur-like hair grows over body
41–44 White of eyes turns black 97–100 No drawback
¹ A drawback can only be gained once. A roll that would result in the drawback being gained again results in no drawback instead.
Time: This column indicates the amount of time a drug takes to craft, which has been
slightly altered because of how the new drawback system affects players rather than the
normal ability damage. The figure in parentheses indicates the "resting" period of the
drug, meaning the length of time the concoction must rest or continue to brew
undisturbed before it acquires its properties.

¹ A successful check creates more than one item, see the item's description.
² See the item's description for details.
Drug Quality: There are different levels of quality in shinobi drugs, each its own recipe.
This check applies to any shinobi drug with a drawback resolved in a number of draws.
Low quality: A low quality drug has the same effects as its normal variant, but is more
dangerous to use. The craft and wealth check difficulty are both decreased by 5, and while
it takes the same amount of time to craft a low quality drug, but its resting period is half
again as long (+50%). A low quality drug increase the number of drawback draws by 1;
furthermore, any draw penalty is doubled while a draw bonus is halved.
High quality: A high quality drug, unlike its low quality variant, is safer to use but also
more difficult and expensive to create. The craft and wealth check difficulty both increase
by 5, and the crafting time and resting period are both doubled. However, the number of
drawback draws is reduced by 1 (minimum 0), and draw penalties are eliminated while
draw bonuses are doubled.

Collaboration Techniques
A collaboration effect is a type of technique that is achieved when two or more
participants perform two or more component techniques simultaneously. The
collaboration effect must be learned beforehand, following the normal rules for learning a
technique. All component techniques must be performed during the same initiative count,
which is typically accomplished by delaying one's action, and a character can only
perform 1 collaboration effect per encounter.

The collaboration effect overrides the effects of all component techniques when
performed, unless specified otherwise, and uses the highest saving throw amongst the
component techniques as the basis for all required saves, plus a bonus to the saving throw
equal to one-half the collaboration effect's rank (round down). In addition, the ranks of
collaboration effects range from 1 to 6 rather than 1 to 14. Learning a collaboration effect
is a Learn check modified only by the character's Intelligence modifier.

There are no subtypes for collaboration effects. Furthermore, the perform time of the a
collaboration effect may vary depending on the perform time of the component
techniques, and it is not increased. Each different character involved in a collaboration
effect is referred to as a participant, and any variant that calls for level refers to the
participant levels, which is obtained by using the average value of all participants
involved in the collaboration effect (mastery may increase the effective level of one of the
participants to determine the maximum values of the technique).

Furthermore, collaboration effects have no additional chakra cost outside of the

component techniques, and any collaboration effect that deals varying damage will deal
damage based on the total chakra spent by all participants to create the collaboration
effect. Any class ability, such as the elementalist's elemental fury, or meta-chakra feat
applied to the component techniques by all participants also apply to all effects and
damage dealt by the collaboration effect, but the collaboration effect itself cannot be
modified. However, multiple instances of the same abilities or feat do not stack, use the
strongest instead (for example, two different instances of the Elemental Fury ability
applying to damage types found in the collaboration effect would only apply once).
Rank: A collaboration technique's rank ranges from 1 to 6, unlike normal techniques. To
offset this, learning a collaboration technique requires an extra success in addition to the
number of successes required by its complexity rating.

Learning: A collaboration technique is learned like a normal technique, but a character

learning a collaboration technique on his own, without a partner learning the same
technique at the same time or to teach him that technique takes a –5 penalty to Learn
checks.

Mastery: A collaboration technique isn't affected by mastery of the collaboration

technique itself normally. However, a fully mastered collaboration technique can be used
once per encounter without counting towards the maximum number of times a character
can use collaboration techniques.

Technique Description: A new entry appears in the technique description of

collaboration effects: Requirements. This list the requirements one must meet in order to
learn a collaboration effect.

Components: Some component techniques may have additional components, as

described below.
- Adjacent (A): All participants must be in adjacent squares to perform the technique.
- Flanking (K): All participants must be in a position to flank the opponents.
- Combined Damage (D): The technique deals combined damage of at least two types of
damage; if a creature is vulnerable to any damage types, both all types deal increased
damage. If the creature is immune to any damage type, the effect deals damage and
removes the portion of damage that would be ignored from the total as any remaining
damage type; if the creature is immune to all types, the attack has no effect. Energy
resistance applies normally.

Example Collaboration Techniques

Below are a few examples of collaboration techniques.

Collaboration: Hurricane Pulse Fang Drill

Collaboration [Water, Wind]
Rank: 5 (A-Class); Learn DC: 20, 4 success; Component: D; Range: Medium (20 ft. +
10 ft./2 levels); Area: 20-ft. radius burst; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws:
Reflex half; Chakra Resistance: Yes.

This collaboration effect requires the component techniques Suiryuuga Sougakari and
Fuurensetsu no Jutsu. The effect deals 2d6 points of water and wind damage against up
to 5 targets, plus 1d6 per chakra spent in the collaboration effect (maximum participant
levels plus 2 or 22d6).

The damage is halved on a successful Reflex save and affected targets must make a
Fortitude save to avoid being thrown back 2d4x5 feet and suffer 2d6 points of collision
damage when colliding with an object their size or larger.
Requirements: Either Suiryuuga Sougakari (3 mastery) or Fuurensetsu no Jutsu (3
mastery).

Collaboration: Hurricane Pulse Sphere

Collaboration [Water, Wind]
Rank: 2 (A-Class); Learn DC: 17, 4 success; Component: D; Range: Medium (20 ft. +
10 ft./2 levels); Area: 20-ft. radius burst; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws:
Reflex half and Fortitude partial (see text); Chakra Resistance: Yes.

This collaboration effect requires the component techniques Mizudan no Jutsu and
Gufuudan no Jutsu. The effect deals 2d6 points of water and wind damage, plus 1d6 per
chakra spent in the collaboration effect (maximum participant levels plus 2 or 14d6),
halved on a Reflex save.

This technique leaves a zone in the affected area. Enemies who attempt to enter or leave
must make a Fortitude save to avoid being buffetted back by the wind. This lasts 1 round.
Requirements: Either Mizudan no Jutsu (5 mastery) or Gufuudan no Jutsu (5 mastery).
Collaboration: Scorching Blast
Collaboration [Fire, Wind]
Rank: 2 (C-Class); Learn DC: 15, 2 success; Component: D; Range: Medium (20 ft. +
10 ft./2 levels); Area: 20-ft. radius burst; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws:
Reflex half; Chakra Resistance: Yes.

This collaboration effect requires the component techniques Gehidama no Jutsu and
Gufuudan no Jutsu. The effect deals 2d6 points of fire and wind damage, plus 1d6 per
chakra spent in the collaboration effect (maximum participant levels plus 2 or 14d6).
Requirements: Either Gehidama no Jutsu (3 mastery) or Gufuudan no Jutsu (3 mastery).

Collaboration: Summoning
Collaboration [Summoning]
Rank: 4 (A-Class); Learn DC: 19, 3 success; Component: A; Range: Close (10 ft. + 5
ft./2 levels); Effect: Summons one creature; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws:
None.

This technique can be performed by up to eight participants, but must be done in pairs.
This technique summons one creature from a single blood pact using the highest level
participant to determine the character level for the summoning, as Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
Each pair in the summoning increases that level by 2.

To determine the chakra cost paid by each participant, divide the chakra cost of the
summoned creature by the number of participant, and multiply that number by two.
Requirements: Kuchiyose no Jutsu (3 mastery), all participants must have the same blood
pact.
Reality Manipulation
Some enormously powerful beings have the ability to manipulate the fabric of reality
seemingly at will. Those beings are few and far in-between, but sometimes a GM might
wish to allow his or her players a small fraction of this power. This could be achieved by
using the optional system of reality revision, as shown in this segment.
Reality Revision (Cha)
Trained Only.
You can use this skill to modify or even overwrite the fabric of reality with shards, a zone
of altered reality where you can create your own rules. To do so, however, can be
especially dangerous. Any chakra cost incurred by a successful use of this skill incurs
severe drawbacks unless paid in totality with Senjutsu chakra. Refer to the section below
for Reality Revision drawbacks.
Check (Detect Shard): You can make a DC 15 Reality Revision check to detect the
presence of any shard within 30 feet. The shards manifest as subtle shimmers where the
boundary of the shard meets the real world which only you can see.
Retry?: Yes.
Time: Detecting a shard requires an attack action.
Check (Access Shard): You can make a Reality Revision check to enter a shard you
would normally be excluded from. The difficulty of the check is equal to 11 + the Reality
Revision skill modifier of the shard's creator. You can use this check to grant any two
creatures you touch access instead. This check must be made each time you or the
touched creature wishes to enter the shard.
Retry?: Yes.
Special: A character can't take 10 or take 20 when accessing or granting access to a
shard.
A successful check to access or grant access to a shard carries a chakra cost equal to one-
quarter the chakra cost of the shard.
Time: Accessing or granting access to a shard takes 1 round.
Check (Create Shard): You can alter the fabric of reality in a limited area by creating
shards, a special kind of spirit plane that lasts only for a short while. While certain
adjustments can be made to reality inside a shard, everything that happens in the shard
also has real-world consequences (for instance, to die in a shard means to die in the real
world as well). The difficulty of creating a shard, as well as the cost, depends on
primarily on its size, as shown on the table below.
Shard size Base DC Chakra Cost Time
Small (up to 50 ft. by 50 ft.) 10 5 1 round
Medium (up to 100 ft. by 100 ft.) 15 10 1 minute
Large (up to 250 ft. by 250 ft.) 20 15 10 minutes
Enormous (up to 1,000 ft. by 1,000 ft.) 25 20 30 minutes
Massive (up to 5 mi. by 5 mi.) 30 25 1 hour
Immense (up to 25 mi. by 25 mi.) 35 50 8 hours
Titanic (up to 100 mi. by 100 mi.) 40 100 24 hours
Infinite (entire country, continent or planet) 50 500 56 hours

No matter the size of the shard, however, it can usually only ever be accessed by passing
through a space adjacent to you. This space could be a doorway, a street, an arch or
simply an empty space. Additionally, unless otherwise noted, there is only two ways to
exit the shard: to pass through the entrance or to wait for the shard to end.

A shard is generally its own separate reality, meaning that people outside of it cannot see,
hear or experience anything that happens inside, and likewise people inside cannot see,
hear or experience what happens outside. Furthermore, when a shard is created, unless it
directly overwrites reality, it can only be accessed by passing through the entrance or
boundary in the right direction. If the shard directly overwrites reality, however, everyone
in the area of the shard is automatically pulled inside, which can have dire consequences,
and nobody can be excluded. When such shards overlap, it can have highly volatile and
usually unpredictable effects (at the GM's discretion).

When a shard ends, there is generally no consequence to the creatures still inside. Anyone
inside the shard is relocated outside the entrance or boundary to the shard, and any object
Retry?: Yes.
Special: A character can't take 10 or take 20 when creating a shard.
A successful check to create a shard has a chakra cost, as shown on the tables above.
Time: See above. The time spent to create a shard must be continuous and uninterrupted,
as though concentrating on a technique.

Check (Exclude or Banish Character): You can make a Reality Revision check to
exclude a character from the shard. The difficulty of this check varies depending on
whether or not the character is inside the shard: DC 15 to prevent a character from
entering the shard, or DC 15 + character' level or hit dice to banish the character from the
shard and prevent it access.

A banished character is forcefully removed from the shard and relocated to the boundary
or entrance of the shard, and will be unable to re-enter, unless the shard directly
overwrites reality.

This check carries a –20 penalty when performed by anyone other than the shard's creator.
A shard's creator can never be excluded or banished from his own shard.
Retry?: Yes.
Special: A character can't take 10 or take 20 when excluding or banishing a character.
A successful check to banish a character has a chakra cost equal to one-half the
character's level or hit dice.
Time: Excluding or banishing a character takes 1 attack action.

Check (Innoculate Self): You can make a Reality Revision check to become unaffected
by modifications made to a shard. This includes all modifications in the alter gravity and
elemental affinity categories, but not alter time. The difficulty of this check is DC 15 for
the shard creator or DC 11 + the Reality Revision skill modifier of the shard's creator for
anyone else.
Retry?: Yes.
Special: A character can't take 10 or take 20 when innoculating yourself..
A successful check to innoculate yourself has a chakra cost equal to one-quarter the
shard's chakra cost
Time: Innoculating yourself takes 1 full-round action.

Check (Modify Shard): You can make a Reality Revision check while inside any shard
to modify the fabric of reality inside it. These modifications can be subtle or overt, but
always have a chakra cost.

Elemental affinity
Minor affinity 20 10 5 rounds
Greater affinity 30 20 5 minutes
Minor inhibition 20 10 5 rounds
Greater inhibition 30 20 5 minutes
Alter Gravity: You can change the gravity inside the shard, either to increase, decrease
or remove it entirely. The effects of increased or decreased gravity are as follow.
High Gravity: The gravity inside the shard is much more intense than the real world. All
characters inside the shard suffer a –2 penalty to Balance, Climb, Jump, Ride, Swim and
Tumble checks, as well as attack rolls.
The weight of any carried item is doubled, and the range increment of any weapon is
halved (round down. A character that falls in a high gravity shard suffers 1d10 points of
damage for every 10 feet fallen, maximum 20d10.
Ultra High Gravity: As with high gravity shards, ultra high gravity imposes a –5 penalty
to checks and attack rolls, and the weight of carried items is quadrupled. The damage
taken from falls increases to 1d12 every 10 feet fallen, maximum 20d12.
Low Gravity: The gravity in the shard is far lesser than in the real world. All characters
inside a low gravity shard suffer a –2 penalty to Balance, Ride, Swim and Tumble checks,
as well as weapon damage rolls.
The weight of carried items is halved, and the range increment of weapons is doubled.
The damage from falls in a low gravity shard is 1d4 for every 10 feet fallen, maximum
20d4.
No Gravity: The characters inside a no gravity shard simply float in place, unless they
have a way to move or a specific mechanism is in place to provide movement.
Alter Time: You can alter the way the time flows inside the shard relative to the real
world, as follows.
Fast: When the flow of time is increased inside a shard, time passes more slowly on the
outside. For example, if time is 50% quicker inside a shard, every minute (10 rounds)
spent inside is 1 minute and 30 seconds on the outside (15 rounds).
Slow: However, when time is slowed inside a shard, it passes more quickly on the
outside. Every minute (10 rounds) spent inside a shard with time 50% slower is roughly
42 seconds (7 rounds) on the ourside.
Elemental Affinity: You can key a shard to encourage a particular elemental affinity, or
to inhibit it. The affinity or inhibition must be selected from the following list: earth, fire,
holy, ice, lightning, unholy, water, or wind.
Minor Affinity: A minor affinity increases the effective character level or hit die of any
spell, power, technique and spell-like ability with the appropriate descriptor by 1.
Greater Affinity: A greater affinity has the same effects as a minor affinity, but also
increases the damage dealt by such effects by one-half (+50%).
Minor Inhibition: A minor inhibition decreases the effective character level or hit die of
any spell, power, technique and spell-like ability with the appropriate descriptor by 1.
Greater Inhibition: A greater inhibition has the same effects as a minor inhibition, but
also decreases the damage dealt by such effects by one-half (-50%).

Reality Revision Drawbacks

When using this skill to create or modify a shard, gain or grant access to a shard, banish a
creature from a shard or innoculating yourself from the modifications placed to a shard,
you must pay a chakra cost. Unless this cost is paid fully with Senjutsu chakra, you incur
drawbacks as shown on the table below. Drawbacks last for twice the duration of the
shard (minimum 1 hour).

D10 Drawback
 1 Roll again twice
2 Take 2d6 damage to all ability scores
3 Take 1d6 damage to all ability scores
4 Become disconnected from reality, take a –4 penalty to Will saves
5 Become impeded by reality, take a –4 penalty to Reflex saves
6 Become impacted harshly by reality, take a –4 penalty to Fortitude saves
7 Eldritch overload, become nauseated
8 Eldritch sickness, automatically fail Reality Revision checks
9 Eldritch fatigue, take a –10 penalty to Reality Revision checks
10 No drawback

Quick-Time Events
A quick time event is a scripted skill challenge within an encounter, always initiated by a
NPC. As a general rule, the outcome of each quick-time event (QTE) is left at the GM's
discretion, but there are two types of QTEs: scripted and open-ended. Regardless of the
type, however, all quick-time events require some foresight and a great deal of planning.

Open-Ended Quick-Time Event

This quick-time event is normally initiated by a NPC, but not always. While the player
has no control over the outcome of a successful check, an open-ended QTE generally
proceeds as a back-and-forth between the NPC and the player, and the player is able to
decide the way in which he or she will react. For example, an open-ended QTE generally
begins with the initiator attacking and the target (or targets) defending. During the first
stage, the defenders can decide the way in which they respond to an attack from a few
available choices (Reflex or Fortitude saving throws, ability check, etc.), with a difficulty
set by the GM according to how effective a certain mode of defense is against that
particular attack. Likewise, when the player is the attacker, he may choose his mode of
attack and have a similarly varying degree of success, depending on the difficulty set by
the GM.

Scripted Quick-Time Event

A scripted quick-time event is one where the GM sets the outcome of each success and
failure and sets the skill challenge himself, leavnig the player with only one option. While
this may appear restrictive at first, the scripted QTE makes for tense, rapidfire exchanges
that can spice up combat significantly. However, a scripted QTE requires more
preparation than the open-ended QTE.

Creating a Quick-Time Event

The creation of a QTE can be as little or as much work as the GM wishes it to be. Each
event consists of multiple steps, generally no more than five; each step consisting of
either an opposed skill challenge or a check against a set difficulty. It is important to note
that while a QTE has a real effect on a combat, it is purely cinematic; neither party
expend the use of any abilities, feats or items during a quick-time event, despite what the
flavor of a particular event might lead one to believe. The GM is encouraged to stray
from the normal rules and into the realm of fantasy to up the ante even further, and shed
the constraints of realism for the freedom of imagination.
As previously stated, the outcome of each quick-time event is left entirely at the GM's
discretion, but there are a few guidelines to keep in mind. Regardless of the outcome, the
player should not be made aware of any specifics concerning the NPC's condition or the
victory track (see below), unless they are plainly obvious.
Failure Threshold: The failure threshold indicates the number of steps that a player is
allowed to fail in a row before the quick-time event comes to an end. This mechanic
comes into play when the number of failed challenges reaches the failure threshold, and
an additional penalty is typically imposed upon the player for doing so. The NPC is not
subject to the failure threshold.
Success: A successful challenge brings a player one step closer to success. In general,
there are two ways to go about this: an effect predetermined by the GM occurs (a set
amount of damage is dealt, the NPC gains a persistent condition, etc.), or the player
moves one step forward on a victory track, or both. If more than one player is involved in
the QTE, the challenge is considered a success if at least half of the involved parties
succeed.
Failure: A failed challenge generally results in the player taking a certain percentage of
his maximum hit points in damage or, in more extreme cases, gaining a persistent
condition for a certain number of rounds, or the duration of the encounter. If more than
one player is involved in the QTE, each player suffers the effect of his or her individual
failures, not the whole group's.
Victory Track
In an encounter where multiple QTEs will be initiated, it can be helpful to keep track of
progress simply by using a victory track. Each time a player beats a challenge, he moves
forward on the victory track by one step. The victory track should have as many or as few
steps as the GM wishes, and the cumulative success of all players involved in QTEs
throughout the encounter should count towards moving along the victory track.

A victory track, for example, could look like this: –1 penalty to armor class > –1 penalty
to armor class, –1 penalty to saves > –2 penalty to armor class and saves > –2 penalty to
armor class and saves, –2 penalty to attack rolls > –3 penalty to armor class, attack rolls
and saves > –4 penalty to armor class, attack rolls and saves > –5 penalty to armor class,
attack rolls and saves > –5 penalty to armor class, attack rolls and saves, movement speed
is halved > –10 penalty to armor class, attack rolls and saves, movement speed is halved.

The above victory track has 9 steps, meaning that no more than 10 to 12 challenges
should be allowed throughout the encouner.

Example Scripted Quick-Time Event

The example below features Kazuma, a samurai, facing off against his nemesis, Shiguro
(200 hp), a ruthless blackguard.

Quick-time Event: Charge of the Necromant (5 challenges, failure threshold 2)

Failure Threshold: Kazuma is stunned for 1 round.
Victory Track: –1 penalty to armor class and saves > –1 penalty to armor class, attack
rolls, skill checks and saves > –2 penalty to armor class, attack rolls, skill checks and
saves > –5 penalty to armor class, attack rolls, skill checks and saves.
– Challenge 1: DC 20 Reflex save. Shiguro charges forward, sword drawn and alight
with a vibrant purple energy! His strike comes from up high and brings with it a surge of
fel power that threatens to split the battlefield in two!
Success: Shiguro takes 1 damage, +1 step on victory track. Kazuma rolls out of the way
and to his feet in an instant, hand ablaze with a retaliatory strike of his own! A ray of
bright orange spellfire hits Shiguro square in the chest with a satisfying sound of impact.
Failure: Kazuma takes 10% max hp damage. Kazuma fails to come up with an entirely
successful defense! Though he manages to avoid the worst of the attack, his shoulder is
caught in the attack and he is sent staggering back, reeling from the blow! He picks
himself up off the ground with some difficulty.

– Challenge 2: DC 25 Concentration check. The blackguard presses the attack with

renewed fervor! He shouts a word of power that sends a shockwave straight through
Kazuma's body, and just as he prepares to make his strike, skeletal alabaster hands shoot
out of the ground and begin to claw at his legs!
Success: +1 step on victory track. Kazuma is not deterred by the attempt! With only a
murmured word and a hastily-formed thought, he conjures a force shield in his left hand
while a blade of pure fire appears in his right! He blocks Shiguro's strike and makes
quick work of the grasping skeletons!
Failure: Kazuma takes 10% max hp damage and pushed back 10 feet. Kazuma manages
to conjure a quick shield despite the grasping hands, but it proves to be too weak!
Shiguro's sword impacts it, and with a great effort, shatters it to pieces! Kazuma is cut a
second time and forced back!

– Challenge 3: DC 30 Attack roll. The battle sorcerer moves to the offensive! A curved
sword flies out of its sheath and comes alight with sparks with a spoken word as Kazuma
swings it at Shiguro's neck with all his might!
Success: Shiguro takes 20 damage. The attack strikes true, but Kazuma fails to follow
through entirely when the blackguard catches the sword in his iron-clad hands!
Failure: Kazuma takes 10% max hp damage. Shiguro nudges the attack aside with one
of his pauldrons and comes in low! Kazuma isn't quick enough to avoid a deep cut to his
belly!

– Challenge 4: DC 15 Constitution check A furious exchange of blows ensues, as both

sides exchange as many cuts and stabs and slashes as the other dodges! The room is
quickly filled with the sound of steel striking steel, and resonating basso booms as waves
of bright orange and vibrant purple power collide!
Success: Shiguro takes 10 damage, +1 step on victory track. The battle sorcerer focus
doesn't waver even for a moment during the exchange. Soon, the heavily-armored
blackguard begins to falter, his focus slipping only long enough for Kazuma to press the
advantage. Shiguro's sword is batted aside in time for Kazuma's off-hand to come up to
his enemy's torso and spill forth a massive torrent of flames!
Failure: Kazuma takes 10% max hp damage. Kazuma easily keeps ahead during the
exchange, trading furious blows with his slower opponent and taking satisfaction as the
latter begins to falter! But his assault cost him, and he couldn't keep up the pace for long
before he slipped and stumbled head-first into a blast of purple spellfire.
– Challenge 5: DC 20 Reflex save. Shiguro growls in frustration, and declares that he
will put an end to this ridiculous contest. He brandishes his sword, which again begins to
burn with purple energy, and charges right back into the fray!
Success: Shiguro takes 10 damage, +1 step on victory track. Kazuma decides to meet his
opponent head-on and infuses his own sword with power. Shiguro's greater reach proves
to be a great advantage, however, until Kazuma dives into a roll at the last second and
he scores a cut on his opponent's side, even as both sides of the room begin to collapse in
the thunderous aftershock of the attack.
Failure: Kazuma is disarmed, his weapon lands 1d6x5 feet away. Kazuma decides to
meet his opponent head-on and infuses his own sword with power. Shiguro's greater
reach proves to be a too much of an advantage, however, as even when Kazuma dives
into a roll to slip under his guard, the unholy weapon still continues its deadly descent,
and it is all the sorcerer can do to deflect the blow, his sword wrenched from his grip.
