Path of the Warrior (Shinobi World Supplement)
From D&D Wiki
Path of the Warrior[edit]
Certain shinobi forego their traditional training to master swordplay. These ronin are formidable opponents, mastering techniques possibly out dating even the oldest ninjutsu.
Warrior of Steel[edit]
At 3rd level, your training begins. You gain proficiency in medium and heavy armor, shields, and martial weapons. Your melee weapons benefit from your martial arts feature and you may use your unarmed strike damage instead of a melee weapons' regular damage if you are proficient in said weapon.
Combat Expertise[edit]
At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Athletics skill. If you are already proficient in it, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Acrobatics, Intimidation, Medicine, or Stealth.
Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses Athletics. You receive this benefit regardless of the skill proficiency you gain from this feature.
Iaidō[edit]
At 7th level, you begin your studies in Iaidō, a weapon style focusing on drawing a weapon and swiftly striking. On your first turn, or if you did not deal damage on your previous turn, your first attack roll with a melee weapon is made with advantage or deals twice as much damage. Your first time drawing and stowing a melee weapon on each of your turns no longer takes your item interaction and can be done as at will.
Alternate Feature: Shurikenjutsu Barrage[edit]
At 7th level, even a basic throwing knife becomes a wave of potential damage. When you make a thrown weapon attack, you may throw twice as many weapons, making a single attack and rolling twice as many damage dice on a hit. You may draw or stow any amount of thrown weapons without spending your item interaction at will.
Alternate Feature: Kyakujutsu Demolitionist[edit]
At 7th level, you no longer need advanced ninjutsu to destroy your enemies in a ball of fire. When you deal damage with a mundane explosive weapon, such as a Grenade or explosive seal, you deal twice as much damage to objects, and targets have disadvantage on their saving throws if they can not see the explosive. Additionally, you have advantage on checks to hide explosive weapons.
Alternate Feature: Kyūjutsu Excellence[edit]
At 7th level, your mastery of ranged weaponry allows you to strike targets from inhuman ranges. Ranged weapons benefit from Warrior of Steel. Additionally, when you make a ranged weapon attack, you may spend 2 chakra to create a piece of ammunition out of pure chakra, 3 chakra to add both your Strength and Dexterity modifier to the attack and damage rolls, or 4 chakra to ignore disadvantage from attacks within the weapon's long range and ignore cover of creatures within the weapon's normal range. A single attack may benefit from all three effects.
Alternate Feature: Ronin[edit]
At 7th level, you are a rogue samurai, bridging the gap between warrior and assassin. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d4 damage to one creature you hit with a weapon attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use your Dexterity modifier, and can not be a jutsu. This damage increases to 2d4 at 12th level, 3d4 at 17th level, 4d4 at 22nd level, 5d4 at 27th level, 6d4 at 32nd level, 7d4 at 37th level, 8d5 at 42nd level, and 9d4 at 47th level.
Additionally, you may learn Path of the Assassin Unique Jutsu as if they were Path of the Warrior Unique Jutsu, but each jutsu learned in this way counts as twice as many for the sake of your jutsu limit.
Refined Warfare[edit]
At 10th level, you master weapon techniques instinctually. You may learn Bukijutsu from any basic natures, as well as any Kekkei Genkai you have the nature requirements for, even if you do not have the jutsu's nature itself.
Chakra-Infused Weapons[edit]
At 10th level, you constantly channel a small amount of chakra through your weapons. Your weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances.
Halting Strike[edit]
At 15th level, you attack faster than your opponent can act. As a bonus action, you can make two melee weapon attacks, or one ranged weapon attack that has advantage or deals twice as much damage.
In addition, as a reaction, when you see a creature attempting to cast a spell with somatic components or use a Jutsu with hand signs, you can move up to half your movement speed and make a weapon attack. If you hit, the target's hand signs are interrupted, it fails to use the Jutsu or cast the spell and it wastes the action it was using.
Execution[edit]
At 20th level, you master hitting vital points in your targets. Your critical threshold increases by 1 (i.e. 20 → 19-20 → 18-20).
In addition, if your attack roll is a critical hit, your target is stunned until the end of its turn.
