Pain, Animal Path (Shinobi World Supplement)
Animal Path of Pain[edit]
Medium humanoid (Path of Pain), lawful good Armor Class 17 (Natural Armor)
Saving Throws Dex +7, Cha +4 Chakra. The Animal Path has 10 chakra points which he can expend. All chakra points are regained at the end of a long rest. Ninja Speed. The Animal Path can take the dash, dodge, and disengage actions as a bonus action, and can move along vertical surfaces. Endurance. When the Animal Path is targeted by an effect that allows him to make a Constitution saving throw to take half damage on a success, he takes no damage on a success and half damage on a failure. Rinne Six Paths. The Animal Path has a shared field of vision with the other Paths of Pain. Each path can only be killed by taking four times as much damage as chakra points it has from a single source, or if the receiver inside it is destroyed. Creatures must succeed a DC 18 Arcana or Medicine check as an action to find and be able to attack their receiver. If a path gains chakra points or dies, its chakra points are divided evenly among any remaining paths. Chakra Sense. When the Animal Path takes the search action, he may also attempt a DC 13 Perception check to locate living creatures and magical effects within 60 feet. He sees a faint outline around the detected chakra source and what school of magic or chakra nature the magical effect was created from, or one that the creature can use if any, can be discerned by him. This effect can penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by 5 feet of stone, 5 inches of common metal, 1 inch of lead, or 15 feet of wood or dirt. ACTIONSMultiattack. The Animal Path makes 3 attacks with his unarmed strike or kunai attacks. Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (3d4 + 2) magical bludgeoning damage. Kunai (0-3 Chakra). Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage. The Animal Path may make 1 additional attack for every additional chakra point spent. Basic Ninjutsu Technique (1 Chakra). As a bonus action, the Animal Path can move across liquid surfaces as if they were solid. If she is submerged, she rises to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round. Transformation (1+ Chakra). The Animal Path becomes identical to a person, creature or non-magical object she has a complete visual image of. This can not be a light source, armor, tool, or vehicle, and she can not recreate a magical effect. Creatures must make a DC 18 Investigation check realize that she is transformed. If the creature saw her performing the jutsu, they automatically succeed. This does not change statistics. Body Flicker (3 Chakra). The Animal Path's movement speed doubles, and her movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Chakra Detection. As a bonus action, the Animal Path attempts an Arcana check (DC 10 + the target's bonus to Deception) to learn how many spell slots, Ki points, chakra points, and other resources or charges that a creature has. The DC to discover hit points in this manner is 10 + the target's Constitution Modifier. Summoning Rinnegan (4+ Chakra). The Animal Path summons one Rinnegan summon, another Path of Pain, or Konan within 5 ft. of him or underneath him, spending an amount of chakra equal to the summoned creature's CR - 5 (minimum 1). If a non-humanoid is summoned, they are controlled by the Animal Path, act on his turn and use his actions, but have their own movement speed. Alternatively, he may spend 3 chakra on his turn to grant 1 summon its own actions for that turn. The summons gain a copy of your Rinnegan, granting the Animal Path the ability to see through their eyes. REACTIONSSubstitution (3+ Chakra). When the Animal Path is hit by an attack and would take damage, he decreases the damage by 20 (1d10 + 15) and teleports up to 15 ft. in any direction to an unoccupied space, during which he takes the Hide action. A generic object is left in his place and he takes any remaining damage from that attack. The Animal Path can add reduce this damage by an additional 6 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost. |
During Jiraiya's travels, he met a shinobi who had destroyed an uninvolved village suspected of being a refuge for enemy shinobi. After a quick fight, he barely escaped. Years later, the shinobi was confronted by Pain, who sought another strong body. Becoming the Animal Path, Pain's main crowd control path, the Animal Path was the only path killed during Jiraiya's attack on the Hidden Rain Village, being recovered and used to discover the secrets of the black receivers, though Pain was able to easily replace them. During Pain's assault on the Hidden Leaf Village, the Animal Path got all six paths within the village and caused mass confusion with his summons before being defeated by Sakura Haruno. |
