Ninja

Masters of hidden arcane and martial techniques and highly secretive, the ninja class is a class shrouded in mystery and superstition; a reputation ninja encourage. Honor was revered by ninja, as it was how their reliability was gauged. The ninja maintained not only their own honor, but the honor of their family or clan. The primary ways a ninja could being dishonor upon themselves or clan was to be identified or to fail in a mission. Depending on the severity of the failure, the ninja was either demoted to nukenin or executed. Chirasu is the patron deitry of ninja. Most of her shinres were built by ninja families and clans. Ninja were almost always human.

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiency in the poisoner's kit and the disguise kit.

Poison Resistance

You are familiar with poisons and have enhanced your resistance to them.You are familiar with poisons and have carefully poisoned yourself in small enough doses to enhance your resistance to them.

You gain resistance to poison damage. If you are already resistant, you gain immunity to poison damage and immunity to the poisoned condition.

Immunity to Poison Damage and the Poisoned Condition

You gain immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition because you are already resistant.

Resistance to poison

You gain resistance to poison damage because you are not already resistant.

Ninjutsu

You have mastered the arcane arts passed down by the ancient ninja. This allows you to perform the mudra, or hand gestures, required to create effects in order to cast ninjutsu spells.

To cast a ninjutsu spell, you execute a basic mudra and then any other mudra for the effects you wish to activate. Mudra can be performed with a successful sleight of hand as a bonus action. The number of mudra performed with this bonus action is limited to one at level 3, two at level 8, three at level 13, and four at level 18. Consult each stance for its ninjutsu spell effects for each mudra.

Once mudra have been activated, you can use an action to cast a ninjutsu spell.

Casting the spell causes you to enter the activated basic stance (if not already in it). You then resolve all ninjutsu spell effects activated. You apply each ninjutsu spell effect independently, but all effects resolve at the same time; all targets must be chosen before the results are known (unless otherwise specified). If a ninjutsu spell tells you to cast a spell, it also resolves at the same time as the other effects and you ignore any material, verbal, or somatic components.

If you fail to perform a mudra, perform an incorrect mudra, are interrupted, or perform the same mudra twice without Kassatu, the ninjutsu spell has no effect and any stance you are in is ended.

You can only activate one ninjutsu spell per turn.

Kassatu: Starting at level 13, you can empower a mudra you've already activated to increase its effects by activating it again (with the normal increased difficulty). Each ninjutsu spell effect details its Kassatu effects in its description. This does not apply to basic stances.

Mudra

Basic Mudra

These are the basic mudra known to practitioners of ninjutsu. Activating one of these mudra, and therefore its stance, is the first step to casting a ninjutsu spell. The DC for executing a basic mudra is 10 plus 4 for each other mudra performed previously this turn.

Chi - The basic ability is used for hard-to-hit enemies or when precision is needed.
This stance and its spell effects enhance your direct combat abilities and are mostly used on the front lines; focusing on enhancing your survivability and mobility along with your killing potential.

Jin- The basic ability is used for melee combat damage.
This stance and its spell effects are heavily damage focused and lacking in defenses. Its spell effects are full of different types of elemental ranged attacks, focusing on taking down enemies quickly with heavy damage and some control.

Ten - The basic ability is used for ranged combat.
This stance has lots of very useful abilities that are situational or very utilitarian. They are used as support in combat but are most functional outside of battle or in supporting without direct involvement in combat.

Elemental Mudra

Elemental mudra attune your ninjutsu spell to the arcane energies that permeate the multiverse to create powerful elemental effects. The DC for activating an elemental mudra is 15 plus 2 for each other mudra performed previously this turn.

Great Ninjutsu Spells (All 3 basics and an elemental mudra)
Great ninjutsu spells do not activate or require you to be in a stance but use all three basic mudra and an elemental mudra to cause a particularly powerful effect. Each of these spells can be used once between long rests.

Huton
Mudra: Chi (DC 10) > Jin (DC 14) > Ten (DC18) > Jala (DC 21)
Range: 60 feet
Duration: 1 minute
Effect: Choose a huge or smaller creature or object within range. The target must make a dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 10d6 cold damage and is frozen in a block of ice for the duration. While frozen in the block of ice, the target has full cover, is incapacitated, and can’t breathe. The ice block has 30 hit points and AC 12. When the ice is reduced to 0 hit points the target is freed and is no longer incapacitated. Once used, this ninjutsu spell can’t be used again until after a long rest.

Damasuseru
Mudra: Chi (DC 14) > Jin (DC 14) > Ten (DC 18) > Vayu (DC 21)
Range: Self
Duration: 8 hours
Effect: The next time you are hit with an attack while this spell persists, this ninjutsu spell ends and the attack misses instead. If the source of the triggering attack is a creature within 60 feet, you may then teleport to an unoccupied space adjacent to the creature. You may then use your reaction to make a single melee attack with advantage against the triggering creature, providing they are in range. Once used, this ninjutsu spell can’t be used again until after a long rest.

Juryoton
Mudra: Chi (DC 10) > Jin (DC 14) > Ten (DC 18) > Do (DC 21)
Range: Self (60 feet sphere)
Duration: 1 minute
Effect: All creatures and objects that enter the area for the first time on a turn or that start their turn within the area are forced to the ground and restrained and must make a strength saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 4d10 force damage and is knocked prone. A successful save halves the damage and ends the restrained condition. A prone creature has advantage on this save. All movement is halved within the area. Once used, this ninjutsu spell can’t be used again until after a long rest.

Mahasakuyami
Mudra: Chi (DC 10) > Jin (DC 14) > Ten (DC 18) > Kaen (DC 21)
Range: 120 feet
Duration: Instantaneous
Effect: Black flames of darkness wreathe one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 12d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. As long as the target takes at least one point of fire damage, the target also begins to burn. The burning target sheds magical darkness in a 30-foot radius and causes bright light to become dim for an additional 30 feet. At the end of each of its turns, the target takes 6d6 fire damage and repeats the saving throw. The spell ends on a successful save. These magical flames can’t be extinguished by nonmagical means. If damage from this spell kills a target, the target is turned to ash. Once used, this ninjutsu spell can’t be used again until after a long rest.

Throwing Specialist

Starting at 9th level, when you take the attack action to throw a weapon, you may make an additional ranged weapon attack with a weapon with the Thrown and Finesse properties. You may draw the weapon as part of each of those attacks, requiring no additional action. Each of these attacks can target the same or a different creature.

Shinsoku

You inhale the divine power activated through your intense training and activate your power instantaneously.

Once per long rest, as an action you may cast a ninjutsu spell using any two ninjutsu spell effects, ignoring the mudra and stance requirements. You can cast this ninjutsu spell even if you've already cast another ninjutsu spell this turn.

Kage Bunshin

You mastered the ninja art of creating a copy of yourself using shadow magic.

Once between long rests, you can create a shadowy clone of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 60 feet as a bonus action. The clone is an exact copy of you and moves when you move and copies your first attack or ninjutsu spell on each of your turns. You choose where it moves and the targets for its actions. The clone may not take any actions that you do not take, nor any action other than attacks or ninjutsu spells. The clone lasts until the end of your next turn. When the clone disappears, you suffer the drawbacks of dividing and multiplying your essence. You gain one level of exhaustion.
