This is done for two reasons, one, to keep the size of the Shinobi Handbook maintainable, and two, to make updates easier

CONCENTRATION

Any Jutsu or effect that an adversary uses that requires
concentration, they can maintain up to two, the same as

HEALING JUTSU

Adversaries should rarely have access to healing Jutsu
unless they are;

• Exceptional creatures
• Have unique/powerful Items, or equipment.
• A dedicated healing-based shinobi who’s primary job

is to restore Hit points or Chakra Points.

If your adversary has access to any healing or
restorative powers, restrict their ability to just a few uses
per encounter.

A basic healing Jutsu restores should restore no more
than 40% of the target's maximum hit points during an
encounter. This can be divided evenly across multiple
targets to create an area healing jutsu healing two people
for 20%, three for 13%, etc.

While there are automated tools to help, not every DM likes
to use them. So, to make things as simple as possible for Taijutsu Attack Bonus +1 Taijutsu Jutsu DC
calculating an adversaries hit/chakra points you do the
following in order. UNDEAD ADVERSARY

1. Find your Adversaries base Hit/Chakra die size. You Hit Points x1.5 Chakra Points x1.5
can find this by checking to see what Rank they are.

2. So long as your adversary is at least level 1, next you
apply their hit/chakra die’s maximum value to their
respective pools. (Hit points/chakra points).

3. For every level above first your adversary is, increase
their respective hit/chakra points by their hit/chakra
dies average, each level. This value is their base
hit/chakra point totals.

4. Next, you then multiply their base hit/chakra point
totals by their Role Modifiers.

5. Next, you multiply the result from their role
modifiers with their Clan/Species modifiers, if any.
Record this total.

6. Next multiply the adversaries Constitution modifier
times their level. Add this result to your previously
recorded total.
