Sekiro[edit]
Shinobi[edit]
The classic appearance of a full-fledged Sekiro |
A human shinobi creeps through the tall grass, nothing but a shadow cast upon a backdrop of darkness. His blade already unsheathed; he makes his way around the enemy camp where the orc soldiers are stationed. When one of them wanders into the foliage to relieve himself, the shinobi pulls him to the ground and slits his throat in one swift motion, the only sound being a gurgling of blood in the orc's open wound. With their ranks thinned by one, the two remaining orcs are left at a disadvantage when the shinobi descends upon them. He appears behind one and sheathes his katana in the warrior's heart. The other has little time to react and a short duel ensues. Their blades clash and the shinobi react swiftly, slicing through the orc's throat and leaving him to bleed out. When the next patrol arrives, the shinobi is long gone, the only trace of his existence being a trio of dispatched soldiers.
The halfling, having underestimated her foes, finds herself outmatched. The tabaxi guards before her sneer in their premature celebration, unaware of her hidden fang. She raises her wooden arm as they approach and the mechanism inside whirs to life. Firecrackers burst from her arm and exploded in a wide cone before her. The guards shield their eyes and recoil, giving the intruder valuable reaction time. A thin, strong rope springs from the shinobi's prosthetic arm and attaches to the top of the nearby gate. The Halfling is pulled over the heads of her enemies. When they uncover their eyes and regain their composure, she is gone. Sekiro Shinobi are skilled warriors who use both stealth and superior combat prowess to their advantage. They are loathe to be struck by enemies, as they cannot absorb much damage, but their unrivaled skills on the battlefield compensate nicely.
Creating a Sekiro[edit]
As you make your Sekiro Shinobi, consider how they lost their arms. Who were they when they were a simple shinobi? What was their mission and how did they lose their arm? Do they fall while defending their master in combat? Did they unknowingly lead bandits to the hamlet they were sworn to protect, later losing a limb in their efforts to prevent its destruction? This event is what drives them to push forward in their search for redemption and/or revenge.
What attitude do you take toward your rebirth? Do you solemnly return to your duties and attempt to make amends, or are you swallowed up in anger and driven to seek revenge on those responsible for your downfall? Do you regard your prosthetic arm as a tool that will prove useful in your quest or is it simply a grim totem that acts as a monument to your failures? Perhaps both are true in their own way.
- Quick Build
You can make a Shinobi quickly by following these suggestions. First, Dexterity should be your highest ability score, followed by Intelligence. Second, choose the Hermit background. Third, choose A katana, 6 shuriken and Explorer's Pack

Deflect[edit]
A shinobi does not train their body to sponge attacks, he instead elects to avoid the damage entirely by using his weapon to deflect strikes.
At 1st level, as a reaction when you are holding a weapon, you can attempt to deflect a weapon attack that hits you. Reduce the damage of the attack by 1d4 + your Dexterity modifier. If this reduces the damage of the attack to 0, you gain an additional reaction that can only be used to deflect again. Once you have gained this additional reaction, you cannot gain it again until the start of your next turn. If it does not reduce the damage to 0, you take any remaining damage. Your deflection die increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the deflection die column of the Sekiro class table. You cannot use deflect if you are concentrating on a spell, wearing heavy armor, or are in a state were concentrating on a spell would be impossible (Such as the barbarian’s rage.)
When you successfully reduce the damage of an attack to 0, your enemy is thrown off balance, giving you an opening for a powerful Counter Attack. Your next attack against that enemy deals an additional 1d8 damage matching your weapon. This damage increases by 1d8 every other level.
(Editor’s note; Counter Attack counts as Sneak attack for the purpose of using feats, features and items that used or requires Sneak Attack.)
Fighting Style[edit]
At second level, you master a fighting style that you’ve been training in. Choose one of the following fighting styles:
- Ashina Style- During your first round of combat the first attack you make that turn will be made at advantage. Additionally, all damage you deal with a melee weapons that deal slashing damage will add an additional die of damage to their attacks for the remainder of that turn. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to armor class.
- Shinobi Style- You gain a +2 to your Stealth and Deception checks. Additionally, as an action you can make a melee attack against as many creatures within your reach equal to your dexterity modifier. You make a separate attack roll for each creature.
- Prosthetic Style- You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with Prosthetic Tool attacks. Whenever you take the dash or disengage action, you may also make a ranged attack with one Prosthetic Tool as a part of that action. Additionally, you can forgo your proficiency bonus to attack, but if your attack lands, you deal extra damage equal to double your proficiency bonus. Finally, ranged attacks with a Prosthetic Tool ignore half and three-quarters cover.
- Temple Style- Your unarmed attacks deal 1d4 damage, this damage increases to 1d6 at 5th, d8 11th, and 1d10 at 17th levels. In addition, you can Deflect and Counter Attack features with your unarmed strikes. Finally, When you make a weapon attack using a Prosthetic Tool you may make an unarmed strike as a bonus action. This effect also works vice versa when using an unarmed attack, allowing you to make one weapon attack with your Prosthetic Tool. Additionally, when using a Prosthetic Tool, you no longer attack at disadvantage when within 5ft of a creature.
Unarmored Defense[edit]
Starting at 1st level, your reflexes and keen senses allow you to block and dodge attacks as if the behavior were second nature. When you are not wearing armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + Dexterity modifier + Intelligence modifier.
Shinobi Prosthetic[edit]
Every shinobi has a set tool he uses to gain the edge in combat. These tools are usually contained and used by a prosthetic that is designed to activate the tools the Shinobi loads into them. Whether using black powder to blind enemies in front of you, or using a grappling hook to traverse sheer slopes, the Prosthetic is what allows a shinobi to fight and survive against groups of enemies, and to relinquish it would mean certain death.
Starting at 2nd level, you gain the grappling hook tool, as well as 2 tools of your choice that you can load into your prosthetic. When you finish a long rest, you may load any number of different tools into your prosthetic. Once a tool has been loaded, it can be used once (unless the tool specifies otherwise) but can be reloaded on a short or long rest. You can have up to 2 tools loaded into your prosthetic at any given time, but you can swap one tool out for another when you finish a long rest.
All of the tools can be upgraded beyond their standard level. You know the upgrades for all the tools you know, so long as you meet the upgrade’s prerequisites. You may upgrade a tool as part of the same long rest where you load it. At 2nd level, you can have one upgraded tool. This increases to 2 at 5th level, 3 at 9th level, 4 at 13th level and 5 at 17th level.
If you were to lose your prosthetic, you must spend one week and 100gp worth of materials to make a new one.
You gain an additional tool of your choice at 6th, 10th and 18th level.
You use your intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Shinobi tool and when Making an Attack roll with one.
Your Prosthetic Tools save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Attack Bonus- your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier
Spirit Emblems[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, the souls of the departed are drawn to you. They enable you to activate tools that you have installed in your shinobi prosthetic and are represented by Spirit Emblems. You have 2 Spirit Emblems, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Spirit Emblems column of the Sekiro table. You regain all spent Spirit Emblems when you finish a long rest.
Cunning Action[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, you can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action. You gain proficiency in the stealth skill if you don't already have it. Double your proficiency bonus for it if you do have it.
Shadows Die Twice[edit]
Starting at 3rd level, your blood has been touched by both life and death, leaving it lingering in between (you inherited the "Divine Dragon's Blood" that is coursing through your veins).
When you roll death saving throws, you roll with advantage. Any effects that would cause you to make these saves with disadvantage simply nullify your advantage. Once you've passed all your death saves, you are stabilized at 0 Hit Points, you may choose to immediately regain a number of Hit Points equal to half of your maximum. Furthermore, if you are killed outright (exp: Someone exactly dealing damage equal to your max hit points or over) you do not count as being killed outright but count as being at 0 hit points. After you heal in this way, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest. You may use this feature an additional time per long rest at level 7th.
Additionally, this feature makes you immune to disease and resistant to poison. You are also no longer die of old age and no longer age by normal means, making you somewhat immortal.
Tree Arts[edit]
As a Shinobi, your ability to survive rests solely on your abilities. Reliance on others leads to death, and as such honing your own skills is crucial. At 3rd level, you learn a number of Combat and Passives Arts shown above the table. Some tree arts are innately magical, and these arts are powered by spirit emblems. You craft your spirit emblems with your carpenter’s tools when you finish a long rest. These spirit emblems are small humanoid paper cutouts that are imbued with trace amounts of divine energy.
Your Tree Arts save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier
Attack Bonus- your proficiency bonus + your dexterity modifier
Ability Score Increase[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or using the feats optional rule, you can replace this feature with a feat for which you qualify. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack[edit]
Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Master Carpenter[edit]

Evasion[edit]
At 7th 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.
Posture Break[edit]
Starting at 9th level, your relentless strikes have the potential to throw your enemies off balance. While in combat every hostile creature has a posture bar equal to half their maximum hit points rounded up + their constitution score. Everytime you deal damage to a creature they take half that damage to their posture bar. Once the posture bar reaches zero a creature must roll a constitution save, or by incapacitated until the end of their next turn. If they fail the posture bar resets back to full and on a successful save, they gain posture back equal to their constitution score + their CR rating or level. In addition, if a creature that hasn't taken damage before the start of their next turn gain posture equal to their constitution score + their CR rating or level. Finally, creatures they take damage from the Counter Attack from the Deflect class feature takes the full damage to their posture bar.
Breath of Life[edit]
Beginning at 10th level, whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points on your turn, you may immediately expend a hit die, add your constitution modifier to it, and recover that many hit points. If you score a Deathblow on your turn and use this feature, the healing you receive is doubled.
Deathblow[edit]
Starting at 11th level, you learn to recognize weakness in your targets, and find openings for killing blows as their vitality is drained. When you score a critical hit or a Counter Attack against a creature with a melee weapon attack, if the creature’s hit points are below a certain threshold after the damage is dealt, you can instantly kill them. This threshold is equal to double your strength modifier (minimum of 2). In addition, when you land a deathblow against a creature, the damage reduction of your next deflect is doubled.
Shinobi Combat[edit]
Starting at 13th level, you’ve mastered wielding your weapon from your travels. When attacking with weapons that you’re proficient with, you make attacks that turn immunities into resistances and resistances into normal damage.
Additionally, you can turn slashing damage weapons into piercing that you're proficient with.
Spirit Thief[edit]
Beginning at 14th level, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points on your turn, you can siphon a portion of their spirit to create one additional spirit emblem. If you land a deathblow on your turn, you may instead siphon enough of their soul for 2. You still cannot have more than your maximum at any given.
Willful Fortitude[edit]
At 15th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Constitution saving throws or Wisdom saving throws.
Unerring Strike[edit]
At 17th level, your strikes never falter. If you would have disadvantage on your attack roll, you can use your bonus action to negate any disadvantage your attack rolls would have until the end of your turn.
Legendary Shinobi[edit]
When you reach 20th level, your lethality climbs to new heights and you are able to discern and target specific vitals on creatures in an instant, dealing lethal damage. The threshold for your deathblow is now equal to your dexterity score (minimum of 10) and triggers on any hit. Additionally, you score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
