Saving Throws Dex +10, Int +11 Chakra. Shikaku has 41 chakra points which he can expend. All chakra points are regained at the end of a long rest. Discernment. When Shikaku is targeted by an area effect that lets him make a Wisdom or Intelligence saving throw to take only half damage, such as fireball, he instead takes no damage if he succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails the save. Ninja Speed. Shikaku can take the dash, dodge, and disengage actions as a bonus action, and can move along vertical surfaces. Shadow Master. When Shikaku spends chakra to maintain a jutsu labeled Hiden, he may reduce its cost by 6 (minimum 0). Shikaku may use this feature 5, regaining all uses at the end of a long rest. Shadow Chain. While Shadow Possession is active, Shikaku can cast it again from the space of any creature affected, using their space for the beginning of its range. ACTIONSMultiattack. Shikaku makes three unarmed strike or kunai attacks. Unarmed Strike. Melee Spell Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (4d4 + 4) magical bludgeoning damage. Kunai. Thrown Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) piercing damage. Shikaku may spend up to 3 chakra when he takes this action, making one additional attack per chakra point spent. Each additional kunai deals 4 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage on a hit. Transformation (1+ Chakra). Shikaku becomes identical to a person, creature or non-magical object he a complete visual image of. This can not be a light source, armor, tool, or vehicle and, and he can not recreate a magical effect. Creatures must make a DC 19 Investigation check realize that he is transformed. If the creature saw his performing the Jutsu, they automatically succeed. This does not change statistics, save for granting the creature's swimming and flying speeds. Body Flicker (3 Chakra). Shikaku's movement speed doubles, and his movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Basic Ninjutsu Technique (1 Chakra). As a bonus action, Shikaku can move across liquid surfaces as if they were solid. If he is submerged, he rises to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round.

On a failure, it becomes restrained, and mimics his actions while restrained in this way. The target can attempt a DC 19 Strength saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending this effect early on a success. Shikaku must spend 1 chakra at the beginning of each of his turns to maintain this effect. If circumstances change so that the target is outside of this jutsu's range, Shikaku must spend twice as much chakra, or the target has advantage on the saving throw. If the target is beyond twice this Jutsu's range, it ends immediately. Hiden: Shadow Strangle (3 Chakra).

The target may attempt a DC 19 Strength saving throw at the end of each of its turns, taking 19 (1d8 + 4d4 + 5) magical bludgeoning damage on a failure, or ending this effect early and taking half as much damage on a success. Hiden: Shadow Network (4 Chakra). Shikaku places a ball of shadows in one fist-sized or larger area of darkness he can touch that lasts for 1 minute. When a creature comes within 10 ft. in bright light, 20 ft. in dim light, or 40 ft. in darkness of the ball, he may target them with Shadow Possession as a bonus action or reaction without spending chakra.

Shikaku Nara is the Jonin Commander of the Hidden Leaf Village, and the clan head of one of its largest clans. In his youth, he was a member of the original Ino-Shika-Cho, a combination he still finds most effective in battle. Now a grizzled veteran, Shikaku trusts his son Shikamaru to make the necessary decisions to improve himself, spending most of his personal life drinking and playing shogi. After a long service as a skilled tactician, Shikaku eventually met his fate during the Fourth Shinobi World War, dying to a Tailed Beast Ball in Allied Shinobi Forces HQ, with his final words naming Shikamaru his successor. |
