Talk:Path of the Puppetmaster (Shinobi World Supplement)

What are the rules for creating additional puppets? Cost, time commitment. The feature "master strategists" states that you can control a 4th and 5th puppet and there is the Jutsu that allows you to control additional puppets, but no actual rules on creating the additional puppets.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Weeb-Senpai (talk • contribs) .

Master Strategist's additional puppet control is intended to work out of the box with Human Puppeteer, which does have creation rules. If I had to throw something out for creating puppets, I'd probably use 5e's typical creation rules, or an item creation variant rule of your choice without fully , with the caveat that you have to be at least the same level as the puppet created. As for price, something like 500 + 10^(PECR x 0.24) gp, rounded up, to buy would probably work. So buying Karasu would cost 502 gp (below half a suit of plate, while crafting it using 5e's base rules would take ~20 days (25 gp per day), while something like Master Puppet could cost 6124 gp or ~245 days.--Ref3rence (talk) 22:50, 26 June 2022 (MDT)

I believe I may have caught a mistake for Expert Puppeteer. This feature is meant to be gained at 7th level, not 6th level, correct? CleverNot 18:58, 1 February 2023 (EST)

When it comes to the puppets youve created, how does the hit die thing really work? currently as written a puppet can ONLY gain hit dice and hit points when you gain a level. that would become a problem for say a 13th level shinobi whose puppet they gained at 3rd level is destroyed. when it got destroyed it had 10 hit dice plus whatever number it started with but now that same shinobi spent a however long they wanted to rebuild the puppet into something else entirely, thus creating a whole new 1/2CR puppet that possess the hit dice it started out with and nothing more as it was created by a 13th level Shinobi. currently i've been ruling it that a puppet has additional hit dice equal to the level they were gained at minus the shinobi level. so a 13th level shinobi's puppet they gained at 3rd level should have 10 hit dice in addition to whatever 1/2CR creature they are based off. is this the intention on how its supposed to be used? - CleverNot 18:01, 6 November 2023 (EST)

The way you ruled it is the exact way that is intended, the level the feature is gained at is what matters, not the level that a puppet is built. P@uL (talk) 04:07, 7 November 2023 (MST)
