A reformatting of the original work of Frankto

Created by Athildur

WORK IN PROGRESS
This file is a work in progress. As such, not all things have been included.
The main missing components are statblocks of various NPCs and the inclusion of example adventures.

If you find any flaws in this file, either aesthetic or functional,

please do not hesitate to contact me and I will rectify it as soon as I am able.

This project is distributed for free.

If you purchased this, you have been the victim of fraud.

The Naruto: d20 Guidebook contains in depth information about the Naruto™ world and its inhabitant, namely
the deadly shinobi and kunoichi. It contains a wealth of information about their different techniques, the famous
"Chakra" and even the geography. With a proficient Game Master, one could even recreate the whole Naruto series
if he or she so wished!

While the primary inspiration for this guidebook is Naruto, it also finds roots in many other anime or manga, such
as Samurai Deeper Kyo, Bleach, Rurouni Kenshin, and several others. These characters and ideas are copyright of
their rightful owners.

character that is higher than level 1, you follow the
same steps, then increase your character's level one at a
time, as though levelling up normally, until you reach
the desired starting level. The exceptions are Wealth

EMPATHIC LEARNING
Using the Empathic Learning variant, characters can
instantly learn techniques on the spot in dramatic situa-
tions.
Awarding Empathy Points: In addition to the situa-
tions below, you may wish to award players with EP
(Empathy Points) when a character is particularly clev-
er or useful. Award the following points when charac-
ters:

 Gain a level (2 EP).

 Defeat an encounter (1-3 EP).
 Defeat a Boss creature (1-2 EP) or Solo creature (2-
3 EP).
 Reach an adventure landmark (2-5 EP).

Spending EP: In dramatic situations, EP can be spent

to learn a technique relevant to the situation in an in-
stant, and to then immediately perform it. In other sit-
uations, it takes 1 minute to learn a technique by
spending EP. Learning a technique with EP requires
spending an amount of EP equal to the technique's skill
threshold. EP cannot be spent to obtain mastery levels
in a technique.
Optional: You might also allow a player to spend EP
to perform a technique without paying a Chakra Cost,
and empower it at half or no cost. The EP cost is the
same as if trying to learn the technique.
POWER UNITS (PU)
Power units are a custom way to increase the power of
a character without changing their level. Power units
can be given out by the GM. Power units have the po-
tential to skew the balance of the game, so any GM
should be mindful about using these.
Each Power Units grants the following bonuses,
which stack with all other bonuses:

 +0.5 dodge bonus to Defense (rounded down).

 +0.5 hp per level (rounded down).
 +1 to Learn checks, attack rolls and saving throws.
 +2 to Chakra Pool, Initiative and movement speed
(rounded to nearest 5-ft increment).
 +2 to Balance, Climb, Hide, Jump, Listen, Move Si-
lently, Spot, Swim and Tumble.
 Optional: +0.5 ECL modifier (rounded down).

ENHANCEMENT SEALS AND SEALED ITEMS

More than anything, enhancement seals and sealed
items rely on comparative strength: there is no tried
and true method for assigning a power level other than
trying to compare them to existing enhancement seals
or sealed items. However, a few metrics do have steady
rules that you can follow:

SEAL LEVEL AND RANK

A seal’s level and rank are linked: If you know what
Rank a seal has, you can determine the range of levels it
is meant for. Similarly, if you know its intended level,
you will know its Rank. Table B-2: Special Tool Costs
shows these relations.
If the item carries an enhancement bonus, it should
not exceed +1 per rank (i.e. Greater is no more than
+3). If the additional effects on the seal are minor, you
can simply raise its level within the rank boundaries. If
the effects are substantial, you may need to increase the
seal’s level and Rank more.

MATERIAL COST
The purchase DC of the materials required to craft an
enhancement seal or sealed item is calculated according
to the table below. The entry for charges refers to when
items have a limited number of uses, which affects the
cost to construct them (and, subsequently, purchase
them). Rules concerning the market price of sealed
iems are found in Chapter 13.
