Saving Throws Dex +10, Int +11, Cha +7 Chakra. Shikamaru has 45 chakra points which he can expend. All chakra points are regained at the end of a long rest. Discernment. When Shikamaru 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. Shikamaru can take the dash, dodge, and disengage actions as a bonus action, and can move along vertical surfaces. Shadow Master. When Shikamaru spends chakra to maintain a jutsu labeled Hiden, he may reduce its cost by 6 (minimum 0). Shikamaru may use this feature 5, regaining all uses at the end of a long rest. Shadow Chain. While Shadow Possession is active, Shikamaru can cast it again from the space of any creature affected, using their space for the beginning of its range. ACTIONSMultiattack. Shikamaru 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. Shikamaru 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). Shikamaru 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). Shikamaru's movement speed doubles, and his movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Basic Ninjutsu Technique (1 Chakra). As a bonus action, Shikamaru 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. Hiden: Shadow Possession (2 Chakra).

On a failure, it becomes restrained, and mimics his actions while restrained in this way. The target can attempt a DC 20 Strength saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending this effect early on a success. Shikamaru 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, Shikamaru 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). As a bonus action while a creature is under the effects of Shadow Possession, the target must attempt a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it must hold its breath. On a failure, it immediately begins suffocating. This jutsu ends if Shadow Possession ends. The target may attempt a DC 20 Strength saving throw at the end of each of its turns, taking 10 (1d8 + 6) 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). Shikamaru 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. Hiden: Ninja Art: Shadow Sewing (2 Chakra). As a bonus action or reaction to a creature making a d20 roll, one creature within 30 ft. in bright light, 60 ft. in dim light, or 120 ft. in darkness must attempt a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 12 (1d12 + 6) necrotic damage and have disadvantage on the roll. On a success, they take half as much damage. Shikamaru can use Shadow Possession immediately after using this jutsu for an additional 8 chakra, which includes the cost of the Jutsu itself, without using any form of action.

On a hit, he forgoes dealing damage to instead cast Shadow Possession immediately after, with the target automatically failing the Dexterity saving throw. Hiden: Shadow Imitation Shadow Bind (1 Chakra). As a bonus action, one creature within 30 ft. in bright light, 60 ft. in dim light, or 120 ft. in darkness counts as being under the effects of Shadow Possession for the sake of Shadow Chain.

Every creature within a 10 ft. radius in bright light, 20 ft. radius in dim light, and 40 ft. radius in darkness is targeted by Shadow Possession.

For every chakra point spent above 2, one creature within 20 ft. in bright light, 40 ft. in dim light, or 80 ft. in darkness is targeted by Shadow Possession, or one object is targeted by Shadow Gathering. Weapons affected by Shadow Gathering automatically benefit from Shadow Possession Shuriken. As an action while this is active, Shikamaru can target every creature under the effects of this jutsu with Ninja Art: Shadow Sewing or Shadow Strangle without spending additional chakra. For each object or creature affected by this jutsu, Shikamaru must spend 1 chakra at the beginning of each of his turns to maintain this effect to a maximum of 5. If circumstances change so that the target is outside of his range, he must spend twice as much chakra to a maximum of 10, or it has advantage on the saving throw. REACTIONSSubstitution (3+ Chakra). When Shikamaru is hit by an attack and would take damage, he decreases the damage by 23 (1d10 + 18) 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. Shikamaru can add reduce this damage by an additional 6 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost. Hiden: Shadow Possession (4 Chakra).

If the target is beyond twice this Jutsu's range, it ends immediately. |
As the years of peace began to ease, Shikamaru was finally able to grasp at least a portion of the blissfully empty days he dreamed of. Gradually recognizing and acting on his feelings for Temari, much to many in the Sand Village's chagrin who viewed him as an upstart marrying the Princess of the Sand, with the two eventually having a child, Shikadai. Changing duties from Shinobi Union overseer to personal assistant to the Seventh Hokage, Shikamaru effectively led his village on a tactical front, keeping an eye on any potential threats to the village below the purview of Sasuke, such as Ao and Kawaki. |
