hello everyone I found a shinobi class for previous versions of D&D based on Naruto manga. When reading the treads I found that the designers wanted to be as close as possible to manga and it made the job hard to acomplish. so i started to read every answer in that tread and now i'm ready to convert it for 4e shinobi class. first of all i won't use any chakra system because it's not in dnd base and most DMs don't like one character with different settings in game. instead of chakra system we can use healing surges and bonus and negative penalties for balancing shinobi with any other character in game. secoind , shinobi will be something between rogu and wizard meaning he can be as striky as rogue and in the same time he can use some sort of magical attacks. third , i'll use so much of data from the tread below so credit goes to them:
now lets start the job. here is shinobi class with changes made : (v 1 :D ) "Shinobi Class Traits"Show
Shinobi:scout ninja Power source : chakra most needed powers: dex,con,str benefits: +1 to ref,fort hit points: 10+con scoure hit point gain in each level: 5 surges for one day: 5+con modifier Skills: trained at stealth and nature, choose 3 more from below: acrobatics,arcana,athletics,bluff,diplomacy,endurance,heal,insight, perception,thievery
Shinobi are protectors of their respective villages. They are mostly noble and loyal to their lords. These warriors rely on stealth and quickness in order to perform. Adventures: Shinobi only goes out on missions together with other shinobi. However they can usually be hired out as mercenaries to travellers who require their expertise and protection. Characteristics: The characteristics of a Shinobi differ between themselves. Some focus on attacking head on, using melee combat to their advantage, other rely on their ninja techniques to defeat their opponents. The only thing that all Shinobi have in common is that they all rely on their stealth tactics in order to take on their opponents. Alignment: Shinobi can be of any alignment. Most are of neutral alignment, and usually give out their services as hired mercenaries or assassins. Good shinobi usually lend their abilities out to protect fuedal lords or ladies, protecting important people, usually as unseen guardians. Evil shinobi however are more likely to become thieves or assassins, wandering cities or the countryside forming small groups of bandits. Religion: Since true religion doesn't play much of a role in my camp or in the Naruto anime, I could not think of what to put here. Backgrounds: Most Shinobi are born and raised in these small nin-villages. They are taught and trained how to se their abilities and how to perfect them. Most shinobi dedicate themselves to a single lord or lady in the village, but may serve any others for their villages sake. It is not unusual for a shinobi of Jounin or higher rank to take up to 3 Genin under his wing in order to train them. It isn't uncommon for these three teammates to become bitter rivals as well as great friends. Races: Among the races humans are the most common to become shinobi. In fact it is nearly all but impossible to find Shinobi of races other than Humans, Half-Elves, and Half-Orcs. Classes: Shinobi get along well, depending on their alignment, with most other classes. Most good shinobi get along best with paladins and rangers, those who protect others like themselves. Neutral shinobi find companions in bards and sorcerers, liking the addition of the arcane arts to match their abilities. Evil shinobi mostly are found around each other, along with rogues, fighters, and barbarians. Although these are the norm of course there is always a possibility to find a mix of these, since Shinobi usually don't comlain about their companions...unless they reveal the Shinobi's position to the enemy. Role: A Shinobi's role in a party is mostly the scout, the stealthy assassin, or in some cases the supporting unit. They are very versatile and when 3 or more of them are put on the same squad they can use their different abilities to their advantages. jutsu: each shinobi has deferent type of attach and defence powers called jutsu. jutsus contain: ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, kinjutsu, kenjutsu, and fuinjutsu. you'll have more details in jutsu section. country specialization: each shinobi has origin in one of major shinobi countries: fire, wind, earth, water, and lightning. the name of the country won't limit him to choose affinity but, most of the shinobies of that country will have same affinity as country name so shinobi with unpopular affinity will have dificalty to find a teacher for his jutsus in that country. ranking: at first level you start as a shinobi academy student, at level 4 graduated and become genin, at level 7 after taking the chuunin exam (here is a room for DMs to make an adventure of chuunin exame) you become chuunin, in level 11 with starting of your paragon path you become junin, at level 14 you'll be special junin who is specialist in some aspects of shinobi art. at level 17 you'll become sennin who is the most powerful shinobi in the world after kage and master of many jutsus. at level 21 with your epic destiny you'll reachto kage level. reaching the kage level won't make you kage because you still need some experiance with your new powers. you'll become a kage of a village when you reach level 30 and leave the shinobi adventures to make your shinobi country.
The following are class features of the Shinobi class. 1- Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Shinobi are proficient with Light armors, including the Ninja Vest and with the following weapons: Kunai, Needle, Nunchaku, and Shuriken.The are also proficient in one of the following weapons: Battle Fan, Crossbow (any), Longsword (ninja type), or Shortsword. 2- bloodline: a character can take one of the several bloodlines available for him. each bloodline will grant bonuses and penalties. bloodline is just a possibility and so many shinobies can continue without having one. each player can choose just one bloodline at creation time. 3- ninja scribe: allows the shinobi to make scrolls much like that of divin and arcane casters. when casting from the scroll the user makes a technique check (1d20+1/2 level) the resault of this check is the save dice for scroll and the level of scroll equals the level of shinobi. 4- affinity: each shinobi has an affinity that must choose at start of level one, and can't change the affinity at all some has no affinity and there is a feat that let character have two affinities. some ninjutsus (ninja art of encounter) has affinity. the shinobi will have +2 bonus to those with similar affinity and -2 penalty to others in damage roll. he can't use jutsus with oposith affinity. for example if character has fire affinity he will have +2 at fire justus and -2 at lightning and earth jutsus and he can't use water jutsus. there is 5 affinities: fire, wind, earth, water, and lightning

hello surry for being late, had some problem with logging in first of all i'm glad to have help ok for the question about the shinobi you can search google for naruto and you'll see they are totally different with wath you say about just using sword. they have some sort of attacks like magic. second i'm agree with you about the design and keep it in mind it was the first post and need a lot of work but i'm sure the result will be nice. for the chakra balance why is it not good? can anyone tell me? and for the features i think chakla walk and some others can be feets for future levels of this class ha? thanks
Okay, before I get started, I'm just going to say that I hate seeing "Naruto" and "ninja"/"shinobi" in the same sentence. To me, Naruto isn't a ninja. I'm sorry (and don't worry), it's nothing personal, but only the low level jutsu have a ninja-like feel to me. Okay, enough of that.
First of all, you should get rid of the longsword and scythe. Those weapons are too big to carry around, and the sickle fulfills the role of a kama very well so far, so I'd switch to that. Most ninjas we see in movies and entertainment carry small, compact weapons, which works perfectly for a stealth-based class.
You have too many skills, as well. You should reduce it to 10 (the rogue's count).
Additionally, strikers (except the barbarian) aren't known for their hp, so having Con as one of your major stats doesn't help you. Go with Wisdom, especially since chakra is supposed to be a mystical energy to begin with.
You also have too many class features. As far as I know, the warlock has the most class features (5), and you've got more than that, so you need to trim it down some. I'll go one by one:
Tree Jump should be a power, probably an encounter.
Chakra Boost can't be done. You're basically bypassing the necessity for getting Fleet-Footed and Boots of Striding and Springing, which every rogue needs. If it was an encounter power at paragon tier that lasted until the end of your next turn, then it would work, but not as a feature.
Chakra Walk is definitely a power.
Ninja Scribe sounds like the Ritual Caster feat. I'm sure you have something different in mind, but making scrolls is most definitely a feat.
Your Affinity is not specific. +2 what? Attack? Damage? Both? If it's attack, then it's too strong. It's +1 at most. If it's +2 damage, then it's probably fine.
Country Specialization and naming off the different kinds of jutsu are pure flavor, with no mechanical significance. Neither will affect your power selection, and the jutsu themselves have no keywords.
Take my word for it: DON'T do Chakra Balance!!!
Also, the last big problem: If you're making a striker, then you need some form of extra damage.
I hope this helps you out. Good luck with your class.
I assume jutsu will be powers, taijutsu, genjutsu, chakra, affinities, etc. being descriptors.
Tree Jump: Just make difficult terrain mean nothing to shinobi. Make this an encounter utility power move action or an at-will standard action.
Chakra Boost: I like this.
Chakra Walk should be a utility power: you can move normally (and hence can walk, run, charge, etc.) on the surface of water with an Acrobatics check or upside-down and vertical surfaces with a successful Athletics check (climbing rules p182); water counts as unstable (20), upside-down counts as difficult terrain. Remember granting CA when balancing and climbing; considering what Chakra Walk involves, it seems reasonable to me.
Boots of Spider Climbing (PHB 246) have a similar effect, and is Lv 5, so Chakra Walk should be around Lv 5. Since Lv 6 is when you gain 1 utility power, I'd set it at Lv 6, and no earlier.
Scribing a technique scroll would probably be a ritual, in the same category as Brew Potion. Creating a ritual scroll (PHB 298) is meant for rituals, but homebrew a "creating a technique scroll" rule which works the same but allows anyone to use the scribed power once (using up the scroll) or, if they're the same class the power is from (Fighter, Shinobi, etc), they can learn it, resulting in knowing extra powers. As with scribing a ritual scroll, you need to merely know the power you scribe, no skill checks involved.
Chakra Balance: generating some sort of characteristic randomly is interesting, but perhaps it should be handled differently than +/-s...
I look forward to seeing more of the class; are you going to post powers (jutsus) and map the affinities so we know which are allied and opposed?
hello thanks for guiding me. first lets talk about con modifier,
"Hanzo187"]I'm just going to say that I hate seeing "Naruto" and "ninja"/"shinobi" in the same sentence
you may not like naruto and don't look at it as shinobi. may be naruto is not a classic shinobi but, isn't this game about fantasies wrote:

for long sword , i don't know the name of the sword most samurais carry. for the scythe it's ok, i'll delete it wrote:

"Hanzo187"]You have too many skills, as well. You should reduce it to 10 (the rogue's count).
for the skills i changed them to trained at stealth and nature, choose 3 more and that should fix the problem. and shinobi can't train in extra skill in level up he can just relearn new one instead of currently learned wrote:

the reason for high hp is that shinobi's attacks will be weak so he must have some way for survival in first levels. As i read in naruto fan sites, and as described in anime, chakra is somthing made from body sorce and is not something spiritual, so i chose con, if i'm right it's the source for body power and choosing condition will be right wrote:

maybe, but it'll give some background story for characters, and if any dm wants to make some sort of camp for this class he will have reasons for choosing teachers in some places that can teach jutsus that are affinity based wrote:

"Dreamstryder"]Tree Jump: Just make difficult terrain mean nothing to shinobi. Make this an encounter utility power move action or an at-will standard action.
hmmmm logical. let it be an enconter power for level 2 or 3 wrote:

"Dreamstryder"]Chakra Boost: I like this.

"Dreamstryder"]Chakra Walk should be a utility power: you can move normally (and hence can walk, run, charge, etc.) on the surface of water with an Acrobatics check or upside-down and vertical surfaces with a successful Athletics check (climbing rules p182) wrote:
Chakra Walk should be a utility power: you can move normally (and hence can walk, run, charge, etc.) on the surface of water with an Acrobatics check or upside-down and vertical surfaces with a successful Athletics check (climbing rules p182); water counts as unstable (20), upside-down counts as difficult terrain. Remember granting CA when balancing and climbing; considering what Chakra Walk involves, it seems reasonable to me.
ok let me tell you something using the word class feature was wrong at all, i was just writing ideas of the class and i'm agree the place for this will be utility power and your words will be done it's for level 6 :D
"Dreamstryder"]Chakra Balance: generating some sort of characteristic randomly is interesting, but I think are interesting, but I wonder if it should be handled differently than +/-s...
ya specifically when it comes to paragon paths and there will be a taijutsu master who cant't use any other sort of jutsu ! but instead of +-? any idea wrote:

"Dreamstryder"]Scribing a technique scroll would probably be a ritual, in the same category as Brew Potion. Creating a ritual scroll (PHB 298) is meant for rituals, but homebrew a "creating a technique scroll" rule which works the same but allows anyone to use the scribed power once (using up the scroll) or, if they're the same class the power is from (Fighter, Shinobi, etc), they can learn it, resulting in knowing extra powers. As with scribing a ritual scroll, you need to merely know the power you scribe, no skill checks involved.
well it will have different posibilities : 1- retual scrolls and they will have classic rituals in themselves or something near them. 2- save scrolls (any better name?) that will save objects in them, objects that sealed in them wrote:

"Dreamstryder"]I look forward to seeing more of the class wrote:
I look forward to seeing more of the class; are you going to post powers (jutsus) and map the affinities so we know which are allied and opposed?
thanks. and yes i'll finish what i started. first i'll write about bloodlines and the changes it make on some abilities and skills, next will go on for affinity and it's system. and at last will start the hard work of making jutsus.
it's for level 6 :D
