Nen User[edit]

Mastery of Will[edit]

Nen is a technique that allows a living being to use and manipulate their own life energy known as aura or nen. There are 6 types of nen users: enhancers, who use nen to strengthen both objects and themselves; transmuters, who use nen to replicate certain effects or properties of other objects; emitters, who are able to detach their nen; conjurer's, who create objects with their nen; manipulators, who control objects or people with nen; and specialists, who defy any other form of nen user classification. One’s aura grows in strength depending on the users’ willpower and Constitution.

Martial Arts[edit]

Beginning at 1st Level, your natural use of Nen manifests as an enhanced understanding and application of physical force. Your unarmed strikes' damage die becomes 1d4, and you may use Dexterity instead of Strength. The damage dice of your unarmed strikes increases to 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level, 1d10 at 15th level and 1d12 at 20th level.

Unarmored Defense[edit]

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.


Meditation[edit]

At 1st level, you can meditate for 30 minutes to concentrate on your inner self. After your meditation, you can increase one of your ability scores by 2 for 24 hours. You can only use this once per long rest.

At 2nd level, you will also regain xd6 Nen points(Even beyond your Nen maximum), with x being half your class level rounded up.

At 6th level, your concentration has increased, you can now meditate for 1 hour. When you choose to meditate for that long, you gain the normal bonuses from meditating and you can choose one of your Nen abilities to deal 2 extra dices of damage for the first 2d4 uses of the ability, and be rolled with advantage.

Nen[edit]

Beginning at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use nen. You gain a number of Nen Points equal to your maximum which is determined by your nen user level. You must spend Nen Points in order to fuel various features. Running out of Nen Points results in your life force being drained further than your limitations causing you to take Xd4 damage with the X being Nen Points you expend at 0. As a nen user, you can convert your aura to create various effects. You regain all of your Nen Points at the end of a long or short rest, but you must spend at least 30 minutes of that time meditating. Certain features will call for a saving throw or nen attack. Use the following to calculate:

Nen attack modifier = Your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Nen save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.


*One Currency System Optional Rule*[edit]

While Nen acts in a vacuum mechanically in 5e, in canon it is something of a universal lifeforce. This variant rule is intended to bring that concept into reality. The conversion table for Nen is as follows.

Spell Slot Ki Cost Nen Point Cost
1st level 1 ki 2 Nen Points
2nd level 2 ki 3 Nen Points
3rd level 3 ki 5 Nen Points
4th level 4 ki 7 Nen Points
5th level 5 ki 9 Nen Points
6th level 8 ki 12 Nen Points
7th level 10 ki 16 Nen Points
8th level 12 ki 20 Nen Points
9th level 15 ki 25 Nen Points

Ten[edit]

At 2nd level, as a Bonus Action, you can canalize your aura around yourself in a defensive way. While Ten is active, every attack made against you has its' damage reduced by 1d12. At the end of each round this technique is active you must spend 2 Nen Points, keeping its effects active until the end of the next turn. This effect otherwise lasts until you end it as a bonus action.

At 5th level, your Ten has improved to a new level, and now when you activate your ten you gain temporary hit points equal to 5 times your proficiency bonus. These temporary hit points last until Ten is no longer active.

At 7th level your Ten has evolved into a better defensive ability, and now while your ten is active you gain +1 AC and your damage reduction increases by +1.

At 15th level you have mastered your ten, when you activate it you gain a +2 to Constitution, and can reduce the Nen cost to 1.

Activating Ren or Zetsu while Ten is active will cause Ten to end.

Ren[edit]

At 2nd level, you have learned how to form your aura in an aggressive manner. To activate your Ren, you must spend a Bonus Action to activate or end its effects. While it is active, you gain 1 extra damage die on unarmed strikes. The first time you activate this ability in combat, every creature in a 5ft radius of you must make a Constitution saving throw, on a failure they gain vulnerability to damage dealt by you until your next turn. You regain use of this effect each time you roll initiative.

At 7th level your ren ability has become more useful through training. While your Ren is active, your movement speed increases by 10ft, every unarmed strike counts as magical, and you will deal double damage to structures and Constructs that were not created by a feature of the Nen User class.

For each round your "Ren" is active, you must spend 1 Nen Point at the end of each of your turns. You can also increase range of your Ren's saving throw by 5ft for each additional 1 Nen Points spent on its 1st cast.

Activating Zetsu or Ten while Ren is active will cause Ren to end.

Cunning Action[edit]

You can choose to learn abilities from other Archetypes at the cost of replacing the ability you choose from the other Archetype with the one you would have got in your Archetype and you can’t replace 17th level abilities.

At 3rd level, you have learned how to hide your aura from others. Activating Zetsu is a Bonus Action, giving you advantage on Stealth checks.

If you attempt to spend Nen Points, the feature will activate but you will immediately end Zetsu. You can also use Zetsu during a short rest to remove 1 point of exhaustion, or a long rest to remove 2 points of exhuastion. Doing so will cause you to be surprised by any attacks against you during the rest.


At 6th level, you gained experience hiding your presence, so the first attack roll you make while in Zetsu will be an opportunity attack and will deal double damage.


You can end Zetsu as a Bonus action. Activating Ren or Ten while Zetsu is active will cause Zetsu to end.

Advanced Nen Techniques[edit]

At 5th level you have become familiar with Ten, Ren, Zetsu and a few unique Hatsu. by combing each of these on different parts of the body you have learned aura techniques essential to all Nen Users. You gain access to the following techniques using Nen:


  • Gyo - you focus your Aura into your eyes as a bonus action for 5 Nen Points. You are able to see invisible objects and magical manifestations. This lasts for 1 minute and you must maintain concentration.
  • In - you hide your aura without completely stopping it as a bonus action for 4 Nen Points. This effect lasts until the end of your next turn, and any ranged nen attacks you make have advantage but deal half as much damage.
  • En - you generate a sphere of aura as bonus action for 3 Nen Points or more. This sphere has a radius equal to twice the Nen Points spend ft. You are aware of the locations of any creatures within this sphere for 1 minute or until you lose concentration. If this has a range greater than 20ft, ranged attacks passing through this area and targeting you, will be at disadvantage.
  • Shu - you coat an object you are holding in aura. When you make a melee weapon attack, you may spend 2 Nen Points to increase its damage die by 1 size (i.e. 1d4 -> 1d6 -> 1d8 -> 1d10 -> 1d12 -> 2d6 -> 2d8). This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you lose concentration.
  • Ko - you concentrate your aura into one part of your body, cutting the flow to anywhere else. Each time you make a melee weapon or unarmed attack, you may spend 4 Nen Points to increase its damage die by 1 size and add an extra dice of damage, but you gain vulnerability to magical damage until the start of your next turn.
  • Ken - you concentrate aura in all directions. As an action for 5 Nen Points while Ten is active, you double the effect of Ten's damage reduction for as long as you pay an additional 2 Nen Points for Ten's upkeep.
  • Ryu - you balance the concentration of aura used in Ko and Ken. When you use a Nen Archetype feature that deals damage and uses an action to perform, you may spend 3 Nen Points as a Bonus Action. The feature becomes concentration but can be performed on any Attack action, substituting one of your attacks.


You may also choose to expend Nen in one of the following ways by using a bonus action:


  • Create invisible Nen writing. Each message written this way counts as magically invisible can only be read by a creature with Truesight, Astral sight, or by using Gyo or another sense that allows sight of invisible objects. Each message written this way does not fade until the caster dies and costs 1 Nen Point. Messages are writings that fit within a 5ft area on a surface.
  • Expel Nen to launch yourself or an object you are carrying by spending 1 Nen point for each additional +5ft the object or creature is launched.
  • Create a sensory effect such as Prestidigitation, Minor illusion, or Thaumaturgy. Each effect emulated costs 2 Nen Points.

Evasion[edit]

Beginning at 6th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Extended Control[edit]

At 6th level, your control over the use of nen allows you to exceed your mental and physical control. When you are hit by an attack, you may spend 2 Nen Points as a reaction to half the damage or spend 7 to do so without spending your reaction. At 10th level, you may spend 5 Nen Points to gain advantage on single saving throw as a reaction. In addition, you unarmed strikes count as magical for overcoming resistance.


Endurance[edit]

At 7th level, while your body is covered with ten, you can speed up your body’s natural healing function. You can expend 7 Nen Points as an action to heal yourself or another person, causing them to regain 1d8 + your Constitution modifier hit points. This healing increases to 2d8 + Constitution modifier at 12th level, and 3d8 + Constitution modifier at 15th level.


Rising Aura[edit]

At 10th level, your aura has become astonishing, and will show itself by surrounding your body. While you have at least half or more of your maximum aura points, your aura will grant you +15ft movement speed and give you disadvantage in Stealth checks. You may choose if you want your aura visibly surrounding you or not, at will. If it is not showing, you do not suffer disadvantage on Stealth checks

Improved Advanced Technique[edit]

Starting at 15th level, you gain 3 Improved Advanced Techniques from the following:

  • Improved Gyo - you have learned to allot some of your aura to your eyes for awareness. By spending additional 3 Nen Points and 1 Nen point at the end of each turn, you gain Truesight for 60ft and no longer have to concentrate on this effect.
  • Improved In - you have learned to hide your aura by containing every ounce of aura around your attacks and constructs.As an Action, For 6 Nen Points you cannot be detected by magical means, and any ranged nen attacks you make have advantage for 1 minute. Nen constructs you make during this time also have advantage on its first strike until it has hit a target, after which it loses this effect.
  • Improved En - You have greatly enhanced your presence through your En. By paying an additional 7 Nen, all other creatures inside your En area must make a Wisdom Saving Throw, on a success their presence is revealed and they cannot make opportunity attacks, on a failure they become frightened and are stunned for 1 turns.
  • Improved Shu - you can now make your Rising Aura coat an object. Each time you make a weapon attack, for 4 Nen Points, you may increase not only the damage dice by 1 size, but the dice itself once. (i.e. 1d4 -> 2d6 -> 3d8 -> 4d10 -> 5d12 -> 7d6 -> 8d8)
  • Improved Ko - Concentrating your aura into one part of your body, the trade off in power you gain is matched by its risks. Each time you make a melee weapon or unarmed attack, you may spend 4 Nen Points to increase its damage die by 3 sizes, but all attacks against you deal twice as much damage until the beginning of your next turn.
  • Improved Ken - you concentrate aura into a barrier around your body, but rooting yourself in the process. As an action for 5 Nen Points, you cannot move and all damage you take is halved until the beginning of your next turn.
  • Improved Ryu - you have become familiar enough with Ryu to the point you can bypass weak aura with enough focus. When you make a melee weapon attack, you may spend 4 Nen Points to make its damage unable to be reduced, even from immunity.

Optional Rules[edit]

*Custom Archetype Features Rule*[edit]

Due to the nature of the nen user class and its dependency on training and experimentation, this optional rule allows you to make a unique Hatsu or Archetype feature, at your DM's discretion. Using this optional rule requires the use of a One Currency System to maintain balance in combat encounters. This rule breaks down the relative effect for each 3rd, 5th, 8th, 9th, 14 and 17th level feature of a custom archetype into 3 main types. The 2 types being: Active and Passive. This rule also serves as a guideline for damages dealt by, conditions caused, and related 5e spells of each archetype.

Passive features are similar to martial class features, such as Dueling Style or Indominable will. Features that can be activated limitedly and in no way deal direct damage or disable opponents in combat. 

Active features are any Feature that requires an action and Aura points to use.

Damages are associated with the top of the nen affinity chart, becoming smaller damage die grades as you move down the chart. Ranges are also associated by how close the affinity is with the Emitter archetype.


Damage, cost and range formulae

Calculating a base # of damage dice for a feature is equal to the level of spell slot the feature is equivalent to.

To have a feature that can pay more Nen for added dice or add dice to base, the additional cost is equal to half the dice' max value Nen, for each dice added.


Nen Point cost is as follows:


A+ZY Nen Points


Where A is the base cost of the spell slot equivalent in aura points, Z is equal to the number of additional times you've increased its cost and Y is equal to 1/2 the highest possible roll on the archetypes' damage die.


Calculating range for an effect is as follows:


X+Zft


where Z= Y(X/2)


and it's cost:

X+Y Nen Points


Where X is equal to the base range/cost of an archetype, Z is equal to the number of times the range was increased, and Y is equal to 1/5 the additional range in Nen Points. The additional Range that can be added must be 1/2 the base range of an Archetypes' cost, rounded to a multiple of 5.


All features may have an additional cost to increase Range, or additional cost to add dice.

Features that have touch range gain an additional base dice of damage.

Effects that use a base range and a base damage, but not any options to increase either, gain the option to pay 1/2 its cost to double damage, hit points, or duration based on effect.

Features that cause damage on a saving throw deal no damage on a pass, when the feature uses the maximum dice of its Archetype, or deals half, using 1/2 rounded up damage dice.

Features with 2 effects but no damage, can limit range to reduce cost by having its source of area of effect be 1/3 archetype range within the archetype overall range. (IE Enhancer 30ft range but 10ft AOE)


Features that cause a Push or Pull effect on a target start at moving the target 5ft and gain +5ft for each regular range increase cost. (Scales by archetype)


To have effects and Damage on a given Archetype Feature, the base die of the feature are 1/2 rounded up, or pay 1/2 the damage die maximum in extra Nen Points.


Features that have a duration for effect last 1 min with concentration in combat, 2 hours out of combat, or until the beginning/end of your next turn.


These effects can be applied to each feature above 3rd level, cannot have multiple features with the same option and only one optional effect can be added to each feature, being chosen when the feature is made. The only exception is the 17th level feature. Features that have a range and effect, but no damage, can pay 1/2 cost to grant saving throws disadvantage once, or have double its Archetypes' base range.

  • deals xdx for base damage rolls
  • base range of effects is 15ft
  • damage is atypical, such as bypassing immunities or resistances

Effects that can be caused are any other effect not directly listed already, such as: Additional actions in combat, additional resistances or features from other classes.


Specialists resemble all 5e Spell Schools.


*Custom Archetype Rubric*[edit]

All Features built using this rubric require an Action to perform, so long as there is a damage or condition caused by a saving throw or attack roll. Any utility or passive features can be a Bonus Action to use instead, such as features improving movement speed or skill modifiers.


At 3rd level, you gain an equivalent to a Cantrip Spell

Typically 1 dice of damage, which increases to 3 by the 20th level, and a narrative alternate effect. An example would be a feature with the effects of Eldritch Blast and Mage hand. This feature does not gain the option to increase range or damage die.


At 5th level, you gain an equivalent to a 2nd level Spell

Typically 2 dice of damage and a related effect. Max cost being x2 of additional cost to base.


At 9th level, you gain an equivalent to a 3rd level Spell

Typically 3 dice of damage with either a related effect or an increase to 1 higher damage die grade by the 20th level. Max cost being x3 of additional cost to base.


At 11th level, you gain an equivalent to a 5th level Spell or a combat mode that costs aura every turn and grants a benefit to select modifiers.

Typically 5 dice of damage with an effect. Max cost being double its base cost.


At 14th level, You gain an equivalent to 7th level Spells or a Sorcerer Meta Magic effect on 2 previous features.

Base cost typically starting at 15 aura points, base damage being 7 dice of damage and containing 2 optional cost increase effects. Max cost being double your Nen user level.


At 17th level, you gain an equivalent to 9th level spells or a Mystic Arcanum.

Base cost is typically 35 Nen Points or higher. No Maximum cost. This effect can encompass 3 archetypes as long at either base damage die is from the chosen archetype, the effects are, or its base range is. This can have 2 effects and an alternate, lower costing, narrative form.


*Nen Construct Rule*[edit]

This rule is intended for Nen Archetype features that use the Conjurer Archetype. Using Conjurer Nen features will often create an item, construct, weapon, barrier or terrain effects. For these made, each of them share your stats and AC. The attack modifier of your weapons is also equal to your Nen attack modifier when used by any creature other than you.


The following is a method of applying HP to the construct in question:


(AX+3Y)5 HP rounded up to the next whole number


Where A is the Conjurer Archetype Affinity percentage as a decimal, X is the base cost of the effect and Y is the spell slot level relative to the feature level.


The base range of conjurer constructs, such as a Wall, is:


(5XY) ft


Or if over an area


5((Y+X)/2)π^2 ft


Where Y is the spell slot level relative to the feature level, and X is the base cost of the feature.


*Mixing Archetypes Rule*[edit]

You can build an effect for any level feature you obtain in this archetype, which encompasses 2 or more archetypes. Doing so allows you to use a range or damage die of one archetype, while also using an effect of another, for example. One Archetype must be your chosen Archetype.

When you mix 3 archetypes, the base cost of the features, rounded up is:


X((1-A)+(1-B))+X


To Mix 2 Archetypes together: X(1-A)+X


Where X is the base cost of that level's feature (or spell slot equivalent), A is the % of one of the Archetypes you are mixing as a decimal (.8=80%), and B is the other archetype percentage. You cannot add more than 3 archetypes together and this formula does not apply when you are only using one archetype to build a feature. You may only mix 2 archetypes up to the 14 level Feature.

*Combat Mode Features*[edit]

Some features may enhance some aspect of combat, with an initial Nen Points cost and an Upkeep cost each turn, and rarer still are feature that requires this "mode" to be active. This rule is to help build such features.

Base cost of a mode feature is no different than any other but the upkeep cost can be paid at either the beginning or end of each turn, the cost being at least 2 Nen Points. Each Mode must be dedicated to either Ten or Ren, being only able to use one of the features at a time, ending should you change to any of them which you haven't chosen.


For each effect the cost of upkeep increases as follows:


Temp HP: 3x(Nen user level) once on cast, costs +3 Nen Points for Upkeep

Modifier improvements: increase is always equal to prof bonus with half that added to each round upkeep. Or half the bonus for only +1 Nen Point on upkeep.

Speed improvement: +10ftx+2nen for base cost. Regardless of initial cost the upkeep always increases by +2 Nen Points.


Ability score improvement: one ability score may be increased, while combat Mode is active, by 2 for a +1 Nen Points each upkeep, or 2 scores may be increased by 2 for +4 Nen upkeep. This can exceed 20 on ability scores.

Advantage/disadvantage (must require a condition to grant): upkeep will always be +2 Nen Points however the effect is added to a single action/feature type that the mode is intended to benefit. Such as a single attack or to grant benefits to the Help Action while the feature is active.

Additional dice: The base cost increases by however many dice you add to the base level of the feature, and by 1/2 the maximum damage value for the dice of that Nen Archetype.


For Combat modes damage dice start at 1/2 the normal Nen Archetype feature amount.



*Nen Contracts Rule*[edit]

In some cases, in order to enhance archetypes not typically suited for battle, one may place a self rule on a nen ability you possess. When using this optional rule, you add any of the following to a nen ability, or can make one of your own with your DM. However you can only add one effect to any given archetype feature. All contracts cause you to loose access to the contracted feature for Xd4 Days, where X is equal to the Nen Point cost of the feature, if you use the ability without fulfilling the condition. When doing this, you only lose access to the feature after it has been used.


Blood Contract

Condition- When using your ability, you must sacrifice 1/2Xd4 HP. Where X is the Nen Point cost of the feature. Round up after calculation.

Benefit- Damage die grade increase by two stages.


Limited Contract

Condition- choose a single creature type. That creature type is the only one that can be targeted by your feature effects.

Benefit- your feature now does double damage or has it's DC raised by your proficiency modifier again.


Forced Condition

Condition- You may only target a creature suffering from a chosen condition such as Grappled. You may also use this effect by having the feature require use of a weapon to use.

Benefit- your attack modifier or damage modifier increase by half your nen user level rounded down. You may benefit from multiple conditions, adding this effect each time. (Such as only targeting an incapacitated creature with a weapon attack.) If the feature causes a creature to make a saving throw, that saving throw can be with advantage or with disadvantage.


Build-up Condition

Condition- you choose a feature that requires an Action to perform and use it as a Full-turn Action instead. This also causes the feature to require concentration.

Benefit- you may double the base damage die of an attack for each full turn you spend concentrating.


Time Condition

Condition- you choose a feature, that feature can now only be used sparingly in combat, each time requiring 1 minute to pass before using its effects again. If the feature has a duration or concentration to maintain, the time period before once become once per short rest. Choosing a Combat Mode requires you to gain 2 levels of exhaustion after the mode ends, and you will not be able to use the feature until you complete a long rest.

Benefit- you may double the proficiency bonus of any effect of the feature, including DC, AC, Attack Mod or any other stat used by the feature that utilizes your proficiency bonus.
