Character Depth

Personality

Sarule has been passionate about the Toujitakumi clan from a young age. At an early age Sarule got to watch a yearly fireworks show with the clan. The fireworks show was impactful and inspired him to get strong just like the adults he watched. Sarule spent much more time with the clan afterwards growing his sense of tribe. In his upbringing, he learned what it meant to protect your clan and those important to you.

His upbringing fostered a strong desire to learn many new skills and jutsus. Sarule wishes to learn more than just what his clan can do. He is very receptive to training with a sensei. Over the years his father found that he would learn faster when training with experts and artisans. As soon as he was able Sarule was learning how to create his own objects and creations just as those before him had. While utilizing the jutsu of the Toujitakumi clan Sarule feels immense pride.

Sarule has an optimistic view on his training and creations. One bad design can simply be blown up before moving onto the next task. Although his clay designs are small Sarule envisions creating great works of clay. He wants to show the world the strengths of the Toujitakumi clan. Sarule saw first hand how people of his clan act against disrespect. To Sarule attempting to kill someone who disrespected the clan is too extreme.

After Sarule’s family was forced to flea the land of earth a certain goal was set out. Sarule had a new goal to recreate his clan. A better version of the clan one that was less feared than the one they had left. When his family was accepted to the Cloud village Sarule found himself a new group of people he wanted to grow with and protect. Sarule considers the village important to him for being there in his time of need.

During Sarule’s time in the ninja academy he was often teased due to his small stature. Although it once bothered him over the years Sarule would train to show that size did not equal strength. The village helped Sarule learn control of his creations. Not harming others was just as important as the clay having a big impact. On his graduation day Sarule felt pride similar to what he felt on his first clay creation. For now he seeks to become more powerful, to grow and make his own clan within the Cloud village.

Techniques

Toujitakumi - Clay Artisan 95/500 TP

“Katsu” [5 TP]
Rank: E Rank
Skill: Special handseal.
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: If the user performs "Katsu" for detonation, their is no way to stop the detonation. The Bomb will explode no matter what (Though Certain bombs may be the exception to this rule, stated by the jutsu itself ).
If the user uses "Katsu" to enlarge a clay creature, that said clay creature Cannot revert back to its minuter version. The clay creature enlarges no matter what (Though Certain bombs may be the exception to this rule, stated by the jutsu itself).
Description: A special handseal. This seal denotes "Concentration". A sankuchi uses this sign for a variety of purposes; whether it is to alter the size of certain creations, cause a creation to detonate or give a special effect stated by a certain jutsu/clay creation. The handseal is one of the users hand head upward, his/her index and middle finger held upward, while his/her thumb, ring finger and pinky held inward towards the palm. The user may also hold both the index and middle fingers of both there hands together, crossing there pinky and ring finger, with there thumbs meeting as well. (Either way gives the same effect, no being superior to the other). Katsu is used in a the majority of the Sankuchi jutsus, and its effects are constant unless otherwise stated.

"Katsu" detonates any bomb the user selects, but detonates all of the same bombs for the same set. For example, if the user creates 2 clay spiders for "Tagging bombs" and 2 clay Birds for "Grenade", the user may choose to detonate the clay birds used for "Grenade" and Not the spiders used for "Tagging bomb".
However, the user detonates all the Clay birds at the same time and not one after another. In the case above, once the user decides to detonate the 2 clay birds used in "Grenade", they are both destroyed at the same time. (Some Jutsus may be the exception to this rule, stated by the jutsu itself).
Limit: Only useful to the Sankuchi. Anyone may learn this, but why?

Kuchisaki Seichuu (Mouth Control) [Learned once 30 TP]
Rank: C-ranked,
Skill: Passive, Supplementary
Effect: Considered a type of training method (See below)
Special: ---
Drawback: (See below)
Description: The Sankuchi clan's chakra circulation system differs from normal people. There bodies Tenketsu (Aka chakra points) are located and are concentrated in different areas compared to others (while still containing 361 chakra points). This relocation of tenketsu alters the flow of there chakra within there body, leading to a rather unbalance system. It is because of this unbalanced chakra system that a Sankuchi can propagate a unnatural flow of chakra within there body and concentrate chakra into extreme amounts into on area (I.E Mouths), leading to the formation of there amazing and powerful clay bombs. Unfortunately, one is not innately born with the knowledge to control these differentiating flows of chakra. A user is taught and trained to teach there body to flow its chakra properly to there hand mouths/main mouth. If left untrained, the user’s flow of chakra may be directed dangerously within their body (being concentrated in one area to a far higher degree then another).
Because of this, there chakra can potentially bring harm, or even lead to the destruction of their own body (from the inside out). “Back fire” is the term used to explain an over flow of chakra into one area in the body, and being unable to remove said chakra at an equal rate. One could literally leave there body permanently damage, ruined or blown off.
With awakening and the addition of new mouths on the user’s body, this flow of chakra fundamentally shifts over and over again. The user must relearn “mouth control” a total of three times allowing for a balanced flow of chakra to each mouth (Once for the users main mouth, twice for the user's second mouth in there left hand, a third time for the user's mouth in there right hand. There mouths also learn how to move upon the users will just as any other mouth, molding clay and infusing chakra directly into the clay during mastication.
For those who are born with the rare "Fourth Mouth", their is no current way to train one's body to balance chakra flow to this mouth. This mouth is nearly uncontrollable by anyone in the Clan, even to the clans most powerful and wisest elders. Its volatile nature spells emanate death for anyone and must be sealed away.
Limit: Sankuchi Blood line. Three times learned max.

"Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) [10 TP] (Gifted Adept +1 class higher)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary.
Effect: Allows the user to give a piece of clay explosive properties. Also determines the speed at which the user can produce a clay bomb(s). (See more below)
Special: Please refer to “Katsu”.
The clay bombs characteristics is directly dependent of the user rank of "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life).
The Amount of bombs; the amount of clay slots used to make a bomb; the size of the clay bomb; the maximum distance in which a clay creature may travel; and the amount of hands required to make a bomb will be stated within the bomb itself. (See more below)
Drawback: The user must load the piece of clay into a mouth begin to chew. Every clay creation requires a certain amount of clay slots and time to prepared. Certain bombs regardless of the users rank, will require additional time and perpetration (stated with the jutsu itself) (See more below)
Description: The user loads a piece of clay into there mouths (any mouth) and begins to command the mouth the chew at the piece of clay. What is truly occurring during this mastication process is that the user is injecting and infusing their chakra directly into the piece of clay. Due to the user's blood line trait, the relocation and concentration of their Tenketsu allows the user is able to pump and redirect a very large amount of chakra to there hands and into the piece of clay (more then humanly possible). The mouths of the user allow for rigorous chewing, ensuring that their chakra is evenly dispersed through out the piece of clay. Once the user feels that the piece of clay has been properly imbued with their chakra, the user commands the mouth to spit out the prepped piece of clay, allowing for the next stage in refinement to occur. (See "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)). If the user knows the D-ranked version of "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion), they may only create up to D-ranked Bombs. If the user knows the C-ranked version of this technique, they may create only C-rank bombs and the D-ranked bombs before that; and so on and so forth until S-ranked is achieved (though some Bombs may state other wise).

Each Ranked Clay bomb requires a certain amount of time to be prepped. The users class and the bombs rank directly effects the amount of time the user will have to spend in preparation. The increased speed is due to the fact that as the user grows in strength and skill, thus so does his or her abilities to handle clay and produce clay bombs. This amount of time has been measured in post lengths:
Creation Times D-Class C-Class B-Class A-Class S-Class
D-Rank Techs 1 Post = 6 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
C-Rank Techs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
B-Rank Techs 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 Secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
A-Rank Techs XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs
S-Rank Techs XXX XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs

Limit: Sankuchi blood line. Must be learned Multiple time as the user cannot gain A rank without first knowing D, C and B ranks. Must know "Kuchisaki Seichuu" (Mouth Control)

"Touji Itonami "(Clay Life) [40 TP]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary.
Effect: Allows the user to give a prepped clay certain desired characteristics. Allow the user to control the clay creature. (See more below)
Special: Please refer to “Katsu”.
The speed at which a user can infuse the piece of clay is directly dependent of the user rank of "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion). The The amount of bombs; the amount of clay slots used to make a bomb; the size of the clay bomb; the maximum distance in which a clay creature may travel; and the amount of hands required to make a bomb will be stated within the bomb itself. (See more below)
Drawback: The user must have prepped a piece of clay using "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion). (See more below)
Description: Clay Life is the true culmination of what a clay creation can really do. Directly after the user completes the fusion process derived from "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion), he or she commands their mouth the spit out the piece of clay into their palm. The user further refines and molds this piece of clay using their fingers as it rests in his or her palms. During this refinement process, the users taps into their memory bank and focuses on a desired shape and characteristic they wish to endow their clay bomb with. This selected design is usually something which they have seen and witnessed from real life already. Once they are completed with the refinement process, a small clay version of what they desired rests within there hands. This refined piece of clay may take the shape of a variety of creatures; from insects to birds to reptiles or even mammals and must be stated by the user. (Some restrictions on what type of creature can be produced will stated by the jutsu itself).

From this point on, "Katsu" is used to enlarge their clay creature to a desired size. While enlarged and fully formed, the clay creature will Permanently act in the same mannerism as the creature it is molded after and Only the mannerism of the clay creature it is molded after. A Clay bird will fly, A clay spider will crawl, a Clay fish will swim, etc. Information and restrictions on the clay creature is stated within the jutsu. This entire process of refinement is far quicker then the infusement process and posting time is not required in this case. The user rank within this jutsu determines which bomb he or she can create. If the user only knows the D-ranked version of "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life) he or she may only control D-ranked bombs. If the user only knows the C-ranked version of "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life) he or she may only control C-ranked bombs, and D-ranked bombs before that; and so on and so forth until S-rank (though some Bombs can state other wise).
Each clay creature has a varying enlarged size and shape:
D-rank Clay life: allows for the creation of creatures of the small size, no larger then a foot ball (6 inches in length, unless otherwise stated by the jutsu itself).
C-rank Clay life: allows for the creation of creatures of the medium size, no larger then a small table (6 in- 4ft in length, unless otherwise stated by the jutsu itself).
B-rank Clay life: allows for the creation of creatures of the large size, no larger then a table (4ft-8ft in length, unless otherwise stated by the jutsu itself).
A-rank Clay life: allows for the creation of creatures of the Huge size, no larger then a car (8ft-12ft in length, unless otherwise stated by the jutsu itself).
S-rank Clay life: allows for the creation of creatures of the Epic size, (12ft- in length, stated by the jutsu itself).


The clay creature follows the users will on a near telepathic level. The user dictates which direction a clay creature may go and also dictates when the clay creature will detonate. A clay creature cannot act and attack on its free will and requires the users command. It cannot move to areas which the user does not know or see and detonate thereafter. (This does not apply to certain clay bombs). The clay creature cannot travel great distances from the user or last indefinitely. The maximum distance in which the clay creature can move is the same as the user's visual distance (a normal human visual distance). As this distance increases, it becomes harder to control clay creature(s). Beyond the visual range, the user is unable to maintain control of their clay creature and they become useless as they cannot detonate (though some Bombs can state other wise).The users chakra that has been imbued into the clay creature does not last longer then 1 minute if not detonated (unless the jutsu states differently as well). Afterwards, the users chakra completely dissipates form the clay creature, returning it into harmless lumps of shapeless clay, regardless of what rank bomb has been created.
Limit: Sankuchi blood line. Must be learned Multiple time as the user cannot gain A rank without first knowing D, C and B ranks. Must know "Kuchisaki Seichuu" (Mouth Control)

Special: Refer to “Katsu”.

Drawback: Time and preparation. Very little destructive power.
Description: After molding and infusing a piece of clay, the user may form any creature they wish from the clay (spiders, birds, etc. Small size). This clay creation moves about, fulfilling the users desires. Upon command, this clay creature will explode, creating a small blast in its wake. This explosion is roughly the equivalent to 1/4 of an “Exploding tag”. Being caught in the explosion leaves very minor burns, burn marks and lacerations, but nothing to damaging. The radius of the explosion is roughly 1 meter in size.

Lock Picking [Freebie]
Rank: "D"
Skill: Sophisticated Skill
Effect: The ability to open locks.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Relevant Abilities: Agility Skill. Die Rolls: 5 Die Rolls. Check Requirement: Game Master/Described. Lock Picking is the deft use of tiny picks and levers to simulate the action of the designated key and thereby open the lock. Susceptibility to such manipulation is an inherent weakness of all locks owing to the fact that, to serve their intended purpose, they must open when the mated key is turned. Better quality locks employ more and higher precision tumblers but this comes at rapidly increasing cost. Such locks do, however, provide a greater challenge to the would-be intruder. The time required to pick a lock varies wildly being both a function of the lock picker's skill and the intricacy of the lock. Synergy: A user with Craft (Locksmith) gives a +5 per Mastery Level Synergy Bonus to Lock Picking. Some practical applications of Lock Picking follow:
Limit: Must learn from Skills.



Mastery Level The character can...
Novice Pick a Wretched quality lock for 1 round
Average Pick a Poor and Good quality lock for 1d4 rounds
Advanced Pick an Excellent and Superior quality lock for 2d4 rounds
Expert Pick a Masterful quality lock for 2d4 rounds
Master Pick an Impossible quality lock for 2d6 rounds


The Art of Opening Locks: "In order to pick a lock, we must understand the lock. We must become the lock we seek to master. We must know the mechanical details, but these pale before the sheer will that this barrier must be opened. Every lock is different, though all share certain crucial characteristics..."

Understanding locks and similar mechanisms takes careful study of things like tumblers and levers, but also takes the honing of instincts. Utilizing this instinct, though, even for a master lock picker, takes effort. Picking locks takes depends on the quality of the lock.

Other ways of bypassing locks take rather longer; one reason adventuring parties need lock pickers. Immensely strong fighter might argue but even their talents are often frustrated. Using a lock chisel and hammer takes 2d6 rounds, metal-eating acid takes 1d6 rounds; cutting through the lock takes 2d6 rounds; cutting through a lock takes 3d6 turns.

Note that Lock Pickers can work on an open lock in attempt to lock it. The same open locks roll applies in order to effectively secure the lock without a key. Notable exceptions include locks such as pad locks which any fool can secure without a roll.

Improvised Lock Picks: Lock picks are made for the job, and standard chances of success assume that the lock picker has them available, but it is possible for a resourceful lock picker to improvise a lock pick from a length of wire, a hairpin or hatpin, or some similar ready-to-hand item. Obviously, such makeshift tools never function as well as the specially crafted ones, but they are better than nothing. A penalty of anywhere from +5 to +60 can be applied to the use of such improvised lock picks.

Take into account the list below of Improvised Lock Picking Penalties for guidance regarding the penalty for specific types of improvised picks.



Category Penalty Example
Suitable +5 Blacksmith's tools
Rather Suitable +10 Long, barbed pin
Moderately Suitable +15 Long pin without barbs
Fairly Suitable +20 Stiff, twisted wire
Somewhat Suitable +25 Barbed wire from fence
Awkward and Somewhat Suitable +30 Loose wire
Barely not Unsuitable +35 Loose barbed wire
Unsuitable +40 Stiletto
Awkward +45 Dagger
Awkward and Somewhat Suitable +50 Narrow short sword
Awkward and Not Exactly Unsuitable +55 Chopstick
Awkward and Unsuitable +60 Twig


Lock Quality: The uninitiated often assume that a lock is a lock, regardless of its make or mechanism. In fact, a greater variety of locks exist, and while many might provide little challenged to the skilled lock picker, some prove daunting even to the most experienced veteran. Any device can make a modifier of up to -30 to the Difficulty or +80 to the Difficulty, reflecting the quality inherent to the lock, no matter the skill of a lock picker attempting to open it. Look in Gadgets Thread for more information on Lock Quality Difficulties:

Noise: Normally, opening a lock and finding or removing a trap creates a fair amount of noise. It is not like shouting down a hallway, but it is more than enough for any perceptive creature in the area to notice. Creatures can listen carefully to hear when a thief is picking. A lock picker can attempt to pick lock or remove a trap with complete stealth, not producing any significant noise. Difficulty penalty is increased by +10.


Stealth [Freebie]
Rank: "E"
Skill: Sophisticated Skill
Effect: User is skilled at avoiding detection, allowing the user to slip past foes or strike from an unseen position. This skill covers hiding and moving silently.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Relevant Abilities: Agility Skill. Die Rolls: 1 Die Roll. Check Requirement: Always. Opposed: Observation. An individual or creature uses this skill to hide from a casual observer using available concealment and/or cover. In essence, they try to remain motionless and crouched down or prone, so as not to draw attention. Unless the user hides behind total concealment, however, the user may still be visible to the careful observer. This skill also allows a character to move without being heard, a successful check avoids drawing the attention of observers and thus the user can sneak past them if not in their line of sight. Some practical applications of Stealth follow:
Limit: Must learn from Skills.

Hide User must beat the Difficulty depending on the Examples listed below. Afterwards, the user's Stealth check is opposed by the Observation check of anyone who might notice the user. Creatures that fail to beat the user's Stealth check are not aware of the user and treat the user as if they had total concealment. The user can use half of their movements and use Stealth at no penalty. When using more than half of their movements but less than max amount, the user takes a -25 penalty. It is impossible to use Stealth while attacking, running, or charging.

Breaking Stealth - When the user starts their turn using Stealth, the user can leave cover or concealment and remain unobserved as long as the user succeeds at a Stealth check and end their turn in cover or concealment. The user's Stealth immediately ends after the user makes an attack, whether or not the attack is successful (except when sniping as noted below).



Difficulty Situation
Trivial Hiding in complete darkness; 100% cover
Easy 90% cover; very poor lighting and some cover
Average Very poor lighting and no cover
Difficult Torchlight and some cover
Very Difficult Torchlight and some shadows
Extremely Difficult Bright light with cover


Sneaking A character with this skill can successfully follow another person while remaining unseen and unnoticed. The user can sneak into buildings, boats, or any other structure unbeknownst to the occupants. A skill check must be rolled for the character to be successful and must beat the opposed Observation check. Failure by up to 25 points means the character believes they moved silently when, in fact, they made some noise that draws attention. Failure by more than 25 points means the sound was so obvious that even the sneak is aware of their failed attempt.

Create a Diversion to Hide User can use Acting to allow them to use Stealth. A successful Acting check can give the user the momentary diversion they need to attempt a Stealth check while people are aware of them.

Hide Above Door One of the most dangerous and difficult tricks is to hide above a doorframe. Whenever the user is indoors, the user may make a Stealth check to hide above a doorframe so that anyone entering through that door will have a difficult time seeing the user. In order to do this, make a successful Stealth check (with a +25 competence bonus to determine the Difficulty of any Observation checks to locate the user) and are considered to have concealment for the purposes of Stealth.

The user may remain hidden in this way for a number of rounds equal to Indomitable Fortitude (minimum 1 round). Each round thereafter, you must make a Fortitude check (10 +1 each successive round) or give away the user's attempt at hiding. If the user fails this Save check by 10 or more, the user falls from their position.

Hide Behind Other Creatures Large bodies that break the opponent's line of sight can sometimes be just as useful as darkness for hiding the user's position. Normally the soft cover provided by other creatures is not sufficient to allow the user to attempt a Stealth check. Soft cover provided by creatures at least 1 size category larger than the user does allow the user to attempt Stealth checks against other creatures not already aware of the user's presence at a -50 penalty. If the creature providing the cover knows which area the user occupies and is trying to avoid concealing the user, this penalty increases to -100.

Hiding Someone or Something Else User can use their knowledge of stealth to better hide others or even camouflage buildings or objects.
Camouflage: After spending 1 minute per 1 square foot of an object or building the user can camouflage it to be harder to spot in a natural setting. After completing the task roll a Stealth check using the user's Stealth bonus and modify the roll based on the object's size, not the user's. Creatures attempting to spot the camouflaged object or structure must beat the stealth check.
Hide Someone Else: User can take a full round to hide another creature. The creature must be willing or helpless. After attempting to hide the target, roll a Stealth check at a -8 penalty using your Stealth bonus. Modify the roll based on the target’s size, not yours, and apply any penalties to Stealth the target has.


Social Stealth (Blend) There is more to stealth than just not being seen. A clever person can be seen but not noticed by presenting themselves in a particular fashion. Without using a disguise a person may give off the air of belonging to such a degree that they blend into a crowd. This requires a clever mix of body posture, key empty phrases, and moving with confidence. Many of the key ideas of stealth still apply to social stealth; the user should not be clearly seen for too long, the user does not want to be the center of attention, and they need to take their time.

The user does not need concealment or cover to attempt a Social Stealth check; instead the user requires the presence of groups of sentient creatures, or at a setting where groups of creatures are expected. In these settings the user may roll Stealth to "hide" as normal, adding their Charisma bonus in place of their Agility bonus. Creatures attempting to notice the user may attempt a Sense Motive check to realize the user does not belong and are out of place. So long as the user remains "hidden" they are treated as part of the greater crowd and treated as such.

It is important to note that social stealth is not an invisibility effect or the act of going unseen. Instead, it is the art of blending into the crowd and being cultural white noise. If the general public is not allowed into a particular guarded room, social stealth will not stop a guard from denying the user entry but it might keep them from remembering details of the encounter or raising the alarm.

Social Stealth (Blend) Modifiers The normal bonuses and penalties that apply to Stealth checks also apply to social stealth checks, with the following exceptions and additions:
Different Creature Type/Subtype: If the user is a different creature type (or subtype, if relevant) than the most prevalent creature type/subtype, the user takes a -20 penalty.
Chakra: Invisibility and similar effects do not provide bonuses to social stealth, but glibness effects provide a +100 bonus to such checks.
Fashion: Depending on the user's attire, the user may attract more or less attention. A GM may assign a bonus (dressed as a servant, neutral tones) or penalty (flashy clothes, high fashion) to social stealth checks. The bonus or penalty should be no greater than +/-10.
Openly Armed: If the user is openly armed, the user takes a -20 penalty to social stealth checks. If the user visibly has a weapon drawn, they instead take a -40 penalty.

Sniping If the user is already successfully using Stealth at least 3 meters from their target, the user can make 1 ranged attack and then immediately use Stealth again. The user takes a -100 penalty on their Stealth check to maintain their obscured location.

Tail User can discreetly follow another person, using the city crowds, jungle foliage, or other cover to conceal their presence. User keeps their quarry in sight, carefully monitoring them while remaining far enough in the background to evade their sight. Every 10 minutes of the user's pursuit, make a Stealth check opposed by the target's Observation check. Note that if the user follows several people travelling as a group, every person the user pursues makes an Observation check. Victims consciously looking for someone tailing them gain a +10 competence bonus to their check. If the user exceeds the first check by 25 or more the user does not need to make an additional check for that person for 1 hour.

Water Release

Water Release Skill [Freebie]
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A prerequisite technique that allows the user to perform Water Release techniques.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: This technique does not count against the user's Release Training Points. Water is one of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques allowing the user to manipulate pre-existing water by turning their Chakra into Water. It takes much more ability to create the water outside the body than to manipulate what is already available or expel it from their mouths (Need Water Creation Technique from Jutsu Enhancement Techniques). Water Release techniques can not only change shape but state as well. Moreover, the water becomes more solid in the process as well, and certain techniques can even allow the user to increase the water's density or viscosity, making it a suitable element to capture the targets. Offensive water techniques seem to inflict harm from the sudden force that they exert, which would cause massive internal damage to a human. Any Save Difficulty mentioned in a technique, whether Fortitude or Will is based off of 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will. Some Ice Release techniques need pre-existing ice, snow, or water nearby in order to be used. Techniques that require a small source of water nearby is measured between 1.5 to 6 cubic meters. Medium is measured between 6 to 30 cubic meters. Large is measured between 30 cubic meters to 350 cubic meters. Huge is measured between 350 cubic meters to 1,500 cubic meters. Colossal is measured by anything more than 1,500 cubic meters.
Limit: Must learn for Water Release NinJutsu.

Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A prerequisite technique that allows the user to perform Wood Release techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This technique does not count against the user's Release Training Points. Wood Release is a nature transformation combination release of Earth and Water. At its simplest, Wood Release allows the user to create wood essentially converting their chakra into a source of life before, at its greatest, becoming mighty trees of various size and shape. The vegetation can sprout from the user's body, or grow from the surroundings. Wooden constructs can also be created, ranging in complexity from cages to complete houses. It is not necessary that the created wood take any identifiable form, allowing users to focus on its inherent pliability to ensnare targets or its durability for brute force attacks. Wood Release can produce very detailed, ornate constructs. Some Wood Techniques come in 4 Density of Vegetation Effects, which interfere with ranged attacks, or impose penalties on movement. Density of Vegetation Effects are described in the Adventuring section of the Player's Handbook under Density of Vegetation in the Terrain section. Any Save Difficulty mentioned in a technique, whether Fortitude or Will is based off of 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will.
