Saving Throws Dex +8, Cha +9 Cursed Energy. Nobara has 34 cursed energy which she can use to fuel her abilities. All of her cursed energy is regained at the end of a long rest. Cursed-Empowered Strikes. Nobara's unarmed strikes are considered magical and she adds 1d12 necrotic damage to his unarmed strikes (already included). Cursed Energy Recovery. While in combat, Nobara regains 1 Cursed Energy per turn, up to her maximum. The combat must be one where her life is at risk. Evasion. Whenever Nobara makes a Dexterity saving throw, she takes half as much damage on a failure and no damage on a success. Nail Projectiles (1 Cursed Energy). Whenever Nobara would make an unarmed strike, she may instead hold a nail up in the air with her cursed energy and then hitting it with her hammer, making a ranged cursed energy attack roll with a range of 30/120 ft. This may also be a Melee Cursed Energy Attack Roll while she is within 5 ft of your target. On a hit, she deals 2d6 + 5 piercing damage and the nail is stuck on the target. She spends this nail regardless of the nail hitting or missing it's target. As a bonus action while Nobara is touching a creature that has taken damage frm Nail Projectiles, she may make a Charisma check against a DC of 10. On a success, she will regain the nail spent. Nobara will have advantage on Perception checks against creatures that have one of her nails pierced into them, and they cannot hide from her as your cursed energy resonates from them. A creature may also remove a nail from their body themselves by making a Strength check against her Cursed Energy DC as an action. On a success, the nail is removed. Strong Body. Nobara reduces all non-magical damage she takes besides psychic by 2. Cursed Energy Tracker. Nobara can focus on one creature for 1 minute, seeing the “sparks” of cursed energy that always happen before cursed technique usage. For that minute when that creature forces her to make a save using their cursed technique or makes a cursed energy attack roll against her using their cursed technique they must roll a Stealth check, using Charisma instead of Dexterity, against a Perception check from Nobara. If she wins, Nobara gains advantage on the saving throw, or the attack roll is made with disadvantage. Negative Flow. Whenever Nobara is under the effects of the conditions frightened, Berserk, Bleeding, are under half her maximum hit points, missing a limb or in an encounter that's total CR is higher than her CR; she will gain 3 temporary cursed energy at the start of her turns which cannot go above 1/4th of her cursed energy maximum.

On a failure, they take 5d8 force damage and are knocked prone, taking half as much damage on a success and not becoming prone. Nobara can only explode a 4 nails at a time before she reaches her limit. REACTIONSResonance. When a creature takes slashing or piercing damage within Nobara's reach, she may make a Sleight of Hand check against the enemy's AC(+3 for fine, +6 for strong, +9 for very strong). If she can bypass it, Nobara can grab a part of the enemy of the highest resonance strength she can qualify for and mixes it with her straw doll. After she has mixed the part, she can spend 1 Cursed Energy to activate resonance, enabling her to target the straw doll giving you access to a special attack, which is explained separately, due to it's functions. Hairpin (4 Cursed Energy). Nobara can make one or more of her nails that are currently stuck on a surface, object or creature make a huge Cursed energy Explosion. Every creature within a 10 ft. radius of the nail must attempt a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 5d8 force damage and are knocked prone, taking half as much damage on a success and not becoming prone. Nobara can only explode a 4 nails at a time before she reaches her limit, this can also be done as a bonus action. Nobara may also choose for the exploded nail to only affect one creature, making the creature with the nail stuck make a Constitution saving throw, and suffer the effects as it normally would on a failure. Internal Hairpin. While a creature has a nail stuck on themselves, Nobara can use a bonus action or a reaction to spend 8 Cursed Energy and activate hairpin, making the Nail rotate in great speeds to harm the creature. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they take 8d10 necrotic damage and are stunned until the beginning of her next turn. On a success, they take half as much damage and are not stunned. Since this damages the insides of her target, when she rolls the d12 the creature's limb will instantly be reduced to 0 hit points if the creature failed the save. If you're not using the limb system variant rule, the limb will just explode. |
Nobara is a confident and brash young woman with an unshakable character. More than anything, Nobara is determined to stay true to herself no matter what. She takes great pride in being both a pretty girl and a strong fighter, refusing to let anyone influence her. Jujutsu Sorcerer. Nobara has 10 levels in the Jujutsu Sorcerer class. Resonance. The following features more detail on Nobara's Resonance.

This damage overcomes resistances and immunities, and is considered Soul Harming. Weak Resonance. When Nobara is able to get ahold of a body part such as Hair, Skin, or Blood, she may use resonance with it, dealing 4d6 Necrotic Damage, and giving the target disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of their next turn. Fine Resonance. When Nobara is able to get ahold of a body part such as Small parts or digits such as fingers, or small amounts of flesh, she may use resonance with it, dealing 9d8 Necrotic Damage, and the target loses all reactions until the end of their next turn. Strong Resonance.

The target can roll the save again at the end of each turn, ending the effect on success. All stronger effects carry special effects of the ones weaker than it, keeping the duration of the stronger effect.
Design Note: These features aren't applied to the statblock, as it is up to the GM what would be best for the npc Nobara knows six enhancements in which she can apply to her cursed technique. A technique cannot have multiple enhancements, nor can one enhancement be applied to multiple techniques.
At the end of a short rest or long rest, Nobara may reallocate her enhancements.
Design Note: This feature isn't applied to the statblock, as it is up to the GM what would be best for the npc One of Nobara's cursed techniques will gain all of the following benefits: Increased Damage Output. Its damage dice number will increase by 5. Increased Reach. Its range will increase by 30 feet. Optimized Technique. Its cursed energy cost will be halved (rounded up, minimum 1). Nobara may change her specialized technique at the end of a week.
Cursed Techniques. When a feature refers to Nobara's cursed techniques, it refers to Nail Projectiles , Resonance , Hairpin, and Internal Hairpin. When Nobara scores a critical hit (It must be a Natural 20 for it to count) with an unarmed strike that benefits from Cursed Weapon Enhancement or Cursed Projectiles, she can choose to land a Black Flash. Before the damage calculation, roll a d6 to see how much additional Necrotic damage Nobara's Black Flash will add onto the damage roll using the table below:
In addition, the amount of dice she rolls from a critical with this attack will increase by one additional damage die, and the Black Flash simply does not occur if the attack wouldn’t otherwise hit(such as if negated by an ability or the attack roll isn’t a crit and doesn’t hit the opponent’s AC). Nobara's next attack on the same turn will trigger a Black Flash on a Natural 15 or higher, known as a Black Flash DC. For every other Black Flash after the second, the Natural attack roll must be 1 higher than the previous. (Ex. Third Black Flash lands on a 8, the DC becomes 9. Fourth lands on a 9, the DC becomes 10.) Failing to land a consecutive Black Flash results in the DC being lost, requiring another Natural 20 to regain it, beginning at the starting DC. In The Zone. Nobara gains the following benefits for a number of minutes equal to the black flashes she hit in the turn; the benefits will last from during the turn she landed the Black Flash until those number of minutes after it:
