Ninjutsu List

Passwall: For a number rounds equal to your current WIS modifier + your class level, you become semi-incorporeal. You pass through walls as if they arn't there. You also can move through non-living beings as they wern't there, but they can still attack you and you can attack them (You both have a 40% miss chance however). You gain a +8 on move silently checks. You won't fall through objects unless you want to, and if your knocked unconcious the Jutsu ends.

Death Attack: By learning this Jutsu the Leaf Ninja gains a death attack, just as an Assassin does, except the Fortitude is changed to save of (DC 10 + Leaf Ninja Level + STR Modifier).

Body Clone: This Jutsu allows you to make copies of your self, equal to your INT modifier. The Copies have an Ac equal to 10 + Your Dexterity Modifier + Any Ac bonuses from your class. You don't "control" the copies, but they are you and the player would play as them. You can't communicate with the clones, but when one of them dies you absorb all of their memories since you made them. A clone appears as you, and has your skill list, but can't attack. The clone has no HP, so when it's struck by an attack it disappears. The clones also only exist a number of minutes equal to your CON score.

You summon a creature, it's hit dice must be 4 less then your own, or less. It's intelligence, wisdom, and charisma drops changes to 8. It also cannot use any special abilities or cast spells. It's a shadow beast, meaning that it's a copy of the actual creature. It serves you completely, and you can give it a new order as a standard action.
