Creating a Shinobi/Kunoichi[edit]
When making the Shinobi consider the following:How did your character become shinobi? Is it a family secret, passed down from parents to children? Did they learn from a master who took them under their wing? Or did they learn it all on their own from a difficult life, and perhaps the most common were you raised in a clan of sorts.

Sneak Attack[edit]
Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an Attack if you have advantage on the Attack roll. The Attack must use a Finesse or a ranged weapon.
You don't need advantage on the Attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the Attack roll.
The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Shinobi table.
Expertise[edit]
When you start, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with Thieves' Tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
Chakra[edit]
At 1st level, you begin your quest to master chakra. Chakra is a form of vital energy of various types that all individuals produce to some degree. This energy is often confused with ki, but the two are different in form and control. Energy circulates throughout the body in a network called the "Chakra pathway system", which is similar to the cardiovascular system. Certain groups, such as the Shinobi/Kunoichi, have learned to generate more chakra and release it outside their bodies through pressure points called Tenketsu to perform Jutsu.
The following rules apply to all Jutsu unless otherwise stated:
- All Jutsus require chakra.
- Jutsus are not considered magic effects, even those that simulate magic effects.
- You have the amount of chakra points defined by your level listed in the Chakra column in the Shinobi/Kunoichi table.
- For all your Jutsus that require a saving throw from your target, the DC will be 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
- You regain all your chakra after finishing a short or long rest.
- Chakra and ki do not accumulate and cannot be used to cover each other's costs.
- Jutsu
Jutsus are classified into three types and they are Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. Ninjutsu refers to the pure release, manipulation and transformation of the chakra allowing the user to create fantastic effects, Genjutsu is a type of jutsu that manipulates chakra to target the opponent's nervous system, confusing and deceiving the five senses (taste, smell, sight , hearing and touch) and Taijutsu refers to any technique that involves martial arts or the optimization of natural human abilities through the chakra.
Jutsus are separated into levels ranging from 0 to 4 and Level 0 Jutsus are basic low chakra cost Jutsus that any Shinobi / Kunoichi can learn and extremely powerful Level 4 Jutsus that only the strongest Shinobi / Kunoichi know about .
A Shinobi / Kunoichi starts at 1st level and can know Level 0 Jutsus, can know Level 1 Jutsus at level 3, can know Level 2 Jutsus at level 7, from level 13 can know Jutsus of 3rd level and at 17th level can learn 4th level jutsus
Every time you reach an odd level you can forget about a known jutsu to learn another one you may know.

The image cannot create sound, light, smell or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals that it is an illusion, because things can pass through it.
