1. Spells are now called Jutsu. (Cantrips are now called
E-Rank Jutsu and have a minor cost associated with
them.)
2. Jutsu are now Ranked instead of Leveled. Ranging
from E-Rank up through S-Rank. Each rank

c. C-Rank: 3rd-4th Level Spells
d. B-Rank: 5th-6th Level Spells
e. A-Rank: 7th-8th Level Spells
f. S-Rank: 9th Level Spells
3. Spellcasting has been separated into Ninjutsu,
Taijutsu & Genjutsu Casting. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, &
Genjutsu use Chakra, which regenerates on a short

b. Taijutsu uses Strength (or Dexterity
depending on the class) as its casting stat.
c. Genjutsu uses Wisdom (or Charisma
depending on the class) as its casting stat.

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

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

Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Each 1 -5 16-17 +3
ability has a score, which is a number you record on your 2-3 -4 18-19 +4

described in the Using Ability Scores chapter. The Ability 6-7 -2 22-23 +6

To generate your character’s six ability scores, you 14-15 +2 30 10
would use the following set of scores;
15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10. 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 on a piece of scratch paper. Do these
five more times, so that you have six numbers.
Now take your six numbers and write each number
beside one of your character’s six abilities to assign
scores to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence,
Wisdom, and Charisma. Afterward, make any changes to
your ability scores as a result of your clan choice.
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.

VARIANT: CUSTOMIZING ABILITY SCORES

At your Game Master’s permission, you can use this
variant for determining your ability scores. The method
described here allows you to build a character with a set
of ability scores you choose individually.

 5. CHOOSE EQUIPMENT
Your class 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 AC equals 10 + his/her Dexterity
modifier + half of his/her Proficiency Bonus (Rounded
Down) + Armor Bonus. 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 (but only if you are proficient with the
weapon) 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

YOUR CHARACTERS ABILITIES

• has the thrown property, such as Darts, can use your
Strength modifier instead.
Take your character’s ability scores and Clan 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.
6. CHOOSE YOUR JUTSU
Your class determines how many jutsu your character
knows at each given level. Most 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 a 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. The number of jutsu a shinobi can have at any
given time depends on the character’s level.
When you learn a Jutsu, either E-Rank, D-Rank, or
higher, you choose from the list of Jutsu provided in
Chapters 9 through 11. You can learn Jutsu from any level
up to your Highest Level jutsu known, including E-Rank
Jutsu. The total number of jutsu you learn in this way
can’t exceed your Jutsu Known for your class at the level
you are in the class.
If a Jutsu is granted to you by a class feature or a Feat
that Jutsu does not count against your Jutsu known and
you can’t voluntarily unlearn it. If you already know that
Jutsu, you may learn an additional Jutsu that is available
to you.

CHAKRA POINTS
Regardless of how many Jutsu a shinobi knows, he or she
can cast only a limited number of Jutsu before resting.
Manipulating Chakra and channeling it through you,
even as a simple jutsu is physically and mentally taxing,
and higher ranked Jutsu are even more so. Thus, each
shinobi class’s description includes a Chakra die to show
how much chakra that class generally gains per level
compared to the next. For example, the 3rd-level
Ninjutsu Specialist has 3d12 Chakra die, meaning on
average someone of that class would have 21(7+7+7 the
Average of a d12 Die 3 times for each level) chakra before
considering their Constitution Modifier and any Clan or
Class Features.
When a character casts a Jutsu, he or she expends a
number of chakra points based on the cost of the jutsu to
cast it. All Jutsu and some features as well have a cost,
meaning more time and care has to be put into deciding
what jutsu to use and when while in difficult situations
and circumstances.

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. Encounters do not need to always be
combat and can instead by social or even environmental.
The following are the different types of encounters that
can be purchased and what they can entail. If a particular
Encounter multiplies its XP by the rank of the mission it is
multiplied by the following values (D-Rank: 1, C-Rank:2, B-
Rank: 3, A-Rank: 4, S-Rank:5)

• Hostile Social Encounter: 10xp times the rank of the
mission. These encounters are meant to represent
aggressive discussions with potentially hostile creatures
or groups. The focus of this encounter should be to
potentially avoid conflict by disarming the situation or
even potentially escaping.
• Diplomatic Social Encounter: 10xp times the rank of the
mission. These encounters are meant to represent
discussions with neutral creatures or groups. The focus
of this encounter can be to convince a group to aid you,
or even dissuade a group from becoming hostile towards
another party.

 SOCIAL ATTITUDES
Within the confines of the game, there will be times
where players will encounter different NPCs with a
variety of different goals and dispositions towards them
or the things they are doing. To help simplify this
process, the following are a list of attitudes that NPC’s
can have towards players. All creatures, are assumed to
be Indifferent to player characters (Rank 3) unless
otherwise specified, from rivalling villages, from
opposing organizations or any other narrative focused
rationale.

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 character or one of th eir 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.

CREATION RULES
STEP TWO: TAIJUTSU/BUKIJUTSU PREREQUISITE (S) &
RESTRICTIONS
The second step of developing your Taijutsu or Bukijutsu
is to figure out the base requirements, how this new
jutsu is activated regarding its components, and whether
it will be a ranged or melee jutsu.
The first step to figuring out which type of jutsu you
are creating is deciding on the classification of your
jutsu. Is it a Taijutsu, or a Bukijutsu?

TAIJUTSU
Martial technique that utilizes the casters body. These
techniques enable a user to fight beyond the normal
limits of man and push into new heights of martial
prowess.

BUKIJUTSU
Martial technique that requires weapons of some sort.
While not more powerful than Taijutsu, these techniques
are inherently more versatile due to the variety of
weapons a shinobi can utilize when using them.

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.

BETRAYAL
NPCs, even allies, can shift allegiances. They might
betray, fail, or sell out their companions, which can
make for a meaningful story event. If an NPC is betraying
the party in some way, lay groundwork early on so the
players don’t feel ambushed by the twist. If the players
can look back and see a clear path to this result, it is
likely they’ll feel the decision makes sense in the context
of the story. Try to give the NPC a “tell” or a paper trail
they can detect.

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.

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, trap’s, 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
trap’s 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.
Some missions have a clear and direct path of
progression, with encounters occurring at specific times
or in a specific order. Others, such as a dungeon filled
with interconnected rooms the group can 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.

CLASS FEATURES
When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for
that level. A few features, however, have additional rules
when you’re multiclassing: Extra Attack, Superiority Die
and Unarmored Defense. The Ability to cast Jutsu (Ninjutsu,
Taijutsu, and Genjutsu) is inherent to all player characters
regardless of class, you instead have a predetermined
maximum amount of Jutsu You can know.

EXTRA ATTACK
If you gain the Extra Attack class feature from more than
one class, the features don’t add together. You can’t make
more than two attacks with this feature.

SUPERIORITY DIE
If you gain superiority dice of any type (from another class,
you instead gain one additional die to your existing pool of
dice.

UNARMED DEFENSE
If you already have the Unarmed Defense feature, you can’t
gain it again from another class.

JUTSU CASTING
Your capacity for Jutsu Casting depends partly on your
combined levels in all your classes and partly on your
individual levels in those classes. Once you have levels from
more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass
but don’t pick a class that gains more or less jutsu than your
current classes Tier then ignore these rules.

JUTSU KNOWN & HIGHEST LEVEL

KNOWN.
You determine how many Jutsu you know and at what
rank, based on the following requirements in this order:
Your Character level, determines the Highest Rank
known, following either classes Highest Rank jutsu

using the following chart.

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.
