A clanless girl in the heat of battle creates an unorthodox stance, and readies for her training session. Her team assaults her as she parries, dodges and counters each one with a graceful swing of her arms and legs as she then follows each one with a powerful strike knocking each training member back. These shinobi, different as they might be, are connected by one common factor, they are masters in the field of Taijutsu.

130 PUPPET MASTER A Ryu sits in a tree, watching over her target as they approach. A smile spreads across her face as she open up the giant box, she carried with her, removing the giant mechanical scorpion and dropping it onto her target, enclosing them inside it. With a loud explosion, a figure lands in the middle of the battlefield. As the dust clears, a hulking presence stands amidst the war-torn battlefield, a giant humanoid of wood and steel. The creaking head swivels to inspect the wreckage. It raises one of its 4 arms, and a beam of chakra lances out towards an enemy. These shinobi, different as they might be, are connected by one common factor: they are masters of the art of ninja puppetry. This fighting form was created in Sunagakure, utilizing chakra threads to control specialized ninja tools. The puppets that these ninja use are hand-crafted, and special to each puppeteer. They are equipped with weapons, traps, poisons, and various other mechanisms. These puppets are incredibly difficult to use, and are only usable by those who have dedicated their lives to the art. CHARACTER INSPIRATIONS When designing this class, it was built with the intent to allow players to utilize ninja puppets of different types, specializing in one or two. Players would be able to create and utilize puppets for stealth or combat, while keeping themselves a little safer than others, or use them to gain new abilities for themselves. The characters this class is pulling inspiration from are as follows: Kankuro, Sasori, and Chiyo. CREATING A PUPPET MASTER When creating a Puppet Master, think about your characters background and drive to be a shinobi. Does the character have a rival? What drove your character down the path of ninja puppetry? Is it about curiosity and invention, or about the power their puppets bring? Did your character learn from another puppet crafter, or receive a vision or flash of inspiration to learn their craft? Consider how your character interacts with the world, and what they represent. Consult your DM regarding brigades, guilds, or societies your character might belong to. QUICK BUILD You can make a Puppet Master quickly by following these suggestions. For Puppeteer Specialization, make your highest ability Intelligence, followed by Constitution or Dexterity; For Juggernaut or Soul Container, choose either Strength or Intelligence as your highest, with constitution as your second highest ability score. Second choose Hatake, Nara, or Non-Clan.

If you already have a puppet tool from this feature, the first one is scavenged to create a new one. The base statistics of your puppet tool are as follows;

133 PUPPET CHASSIS When you create your Puppet tool, you can add one prefix to its type in the form of which basic chassis you use for your puppet. For example, if you select Warframe, your puppet becomes a Warframe Puppet, and gains the Warframe modifications to its base statistics. WARFRAME Your puppet Tool is roughly humanoid, and comes with the robust flexibility and options that this form provides. Its base Strength Ability score becomes 16 (+3) and it gains proficiency in simple and martial weapons. Its natural weapon is: Slam: Your Ninjutsu or Taijutsu attack modifier to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 1d4 + Strength Modifier + Your Proficiency bonus in bludgeoning damage. QUADRUPEDAL Your Puppet Tool takes on a quadrupedal design. Larger and sturdier, it is more suitable to launch into the fray or carry its creator. Its base size becomes Large, its base Strength and Constitution become 16 (+3), its natural armor becomes 14 + your proficiency bonus, and its speed becomes 35ft. Its natural weapon is: Bite: your Ninjutsu or Taijutsu attack modifier to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 1d10 + Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus in piercing damage. WINGED Your Puppet Tool is modeled off a flying creature. Smaller and lighter than most golems, it is kept aloft by intricate wings. Its base size becomes Small and it gains a flying speed of 30ft. Its natural weapon is: Talon: your Ninjutsu or Taijutsu attack modifier to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus in slashing damage. SPECIALIZED Your Puppet Tool defies all expectations, its design fueled by your own rampant creativity. A little less robust and stable, it is far more extensible to your visionary plans. Your Puppet Tool starts with the basic statistics, but you can select 2 free 1st level Augments to start with that do not count against your upgrade total. Its natural weapon is: Slam: your Ninjutsu or Taijutsu attack modifier to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus in bludgeoning damage. INTELLIGENT OVERSIGHT Starting at 3rd level, you can take the Help action as a bonus action when assisting your Puppet Tool. Additionally, when you take the Help action to aid an ally (Including your puppet tool) in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 30 feet of you, rather than 5ft of you, if the allied creature can see or hear you. MASTERFUL MANIPULATION Starting at 5th level, you no longer need to spend your reaction to manipulate your puppet tool to use its reaction. Additionally, you can use your action and/or bonus action to manipulate your Puppet tool to use its action. If the Puppet tool is not manipulated to take any action, you automatically manipulate it to take the Dodge action in combat. PERFECTED DESIGN Starting at 14th level, your puppet tool can add your Intelligence Modifier to all of its attack rolls, ability checks and saving throws. Medium Construct Hit Points Your Intelligence Modifier + Five times your puppet master level + your Puppet tools constitution modifier times your puppet master level. (The puppet has a number of hit die [d8] equal to your puppet master level. Speed 30 ft. 14 (+2) 12 (+1) 12 (+1) 5 (-3) 5 (-3) 5 (-3) Senses passive Perception 7 Bound. The Puppet is bound to its user via chakra strings. Your puppet cannot be more than 500 feet from you. If the strings are not bound to the puppet, it cannot move or take any actions of any kind. If a creature other than its creator uses chakra threads to manipulate the puppet, it cannot use any Augments, as the user would be unaware of its full capabilities.

134 JUGGERNAUT A Juggernaut is a Puppet Master that has turned their wondrous talent of invention to a singular goal: making themselves an unstoppable force. Some Juggernauts seek to turn their puppet into a machine of death and terror; others become the arbiter of justice and order, while others still perhaps merely seek to refine their craft in the pursuit of pure innovation. JUGGERNAUT PROFICIENCY When you choose this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency in heavy armor and the Disguise Kit. CHAKRA-INFUSED GAUNTLET Beginning at 1st level, when you take this specialization, you construct a chakra-infused gauntlet as a prototype for the larger form to come. This is a specialized chakra enhanced item that only you can attune to. When you create a chakra infused gauntlet you can add one of the following augments to it; Power Fist, Chakra Blade or Martial Grip. You can make multiple gauntlets with different upgrades, but can only be attuned to one at a time. If you lose your Chakra-Infused gauntlet, you can remake it during a long rest with 50 ryo worth of materials, or can scavenger for materials and forge it over two days of work, without material expense. While wearing a Chakra-Infused gauntlet, you can engage Artificial Strength. Artificial Strength When you don your Chakra-Infused gauntlet or as an action while wearing it, you can dedicate some of your intelligence to fully controlling the power of the gauntlet. You can reduce your current and maximum Intelligence score to increase your current Strength score, up to what your Intelligence score was before engaging Artificial Strength. You can stop using Artificial strength any time, and it automatically ends if your gauntlet is removed. (Example; If you have an Intelligence of 16 and a Strength score of 12, you can decease your Intelligence score to 12, while increasing your strength up to 16 in its place. JUGGERNAUT ARMOR Beginning at 3rd level, you have attained the knowledge of crafting and crafting chakra enhanced items sufficiently enough to create a set of puppet armor that only you can wear and attune to from a standard, nonchakra enhanced set of heavy armor using resources you’ve gathered. This process takes 8 hours to complete, as well as a place to craft. This armor can incorporate a ChakraInfused Gauntlet (They do not require separate attunement). While attuned to your armor, your Strength score increases by 2, and your maximum strength score becomes 22. You can create a new set of puppet armor by crafting it from a set of gather and purchased materials in a process that takes 4000 ryo and 1 week. You can create multi sets of puppet armor, but you can only be attuned to one of them at a given time, and you can only change which one you are attuned to during a long rest. If you create a new set of puppet armor, you can apply a new set of upgrades equal to the value on the class table, applying each at the level you get it on the class table. When you create your juggernaut armor, you can create a heavily plated steel puppet, or a specially enhanced set of puppet armor known as an iron shell. If your puppet armor is a steel puppet, you gain the Powerful Build trait. If your puppet armor is an iron shell, you can forgo the increase to your Strength and Maximum strength to instead gain an augment that you qualify for, at no cost. Power Build: You count as one size category larger, also granting you an additional 10 bulk maximum EXTRA ATTACK Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn. FULLY CUSTOMIZED GEAR Beginning at 14th level, you’ve mastered the customization of your puppet armor. You can add one additional upgrade to your armor that that you qualify for. You can add another of these free upgrades at 18th and 20th level JUGGERNAUT ARMOR Armor Name AC Dex Bonus Bulk Stealth Properties Steel Puppet +8 - 10 Bulk Disadvantage Heavy Armor, Powerful Build Iron Shell +5 Dex Modifier (Max 2) 7 Bulk - Medium Armor

135 SOUL CRAFTER A Soul Crafter is the sort of person that makes people uncomfortable. Even when encountered in the most ideal circumstances, they simply have the sort of gaze that makes one think they may be thinking "how could I improve that" as they look at you. This particular specialization of Puppet Master is one that has turned their creative talent...inward. They seek to understand and improve the limitations of flesh. All too frequently, they place a slightly different value on aesthetics than others might, tending to find beauty primarily in efficiency. SOUL CRAFTER PROFICIENCY When you choose this specialization at 1stt level, you gain proficiency in the Medicine Skill, as well as the ability to use Ninjutsu with the Medical Keyword. PERFECT SELF Beginning at 1st level, you have utilized forbidden techniques to augment your own body. Select one of the following options; PERFECTION OF BODY Nature had its chance to make your form by its design, and you have deemed it inefficient. Now it’s your turn to show nature perfection incarnate. When you take this path, you gain the Puppet Augmentation upgrade and it does not count against your upgrade total. When you take the Attack action using this upgrade, you can make an additional attack with it as part of the same action. You can make up to two of these additional attacks each turn, and you can make a total number of these additional attacks equal to half your Puppet Master level (rounded down, minimum of 2) regaining all uses when you finish a short or long rest. PERFECTION OF MIND You know that perfection is an aspect of knowledge, a perfect understanding of the mechanics of the body, inside and out. But particularly inside. You gain the Doctor upgrade and it does not count against your upgrade total. You have a pool of d8s equal to half your Puppet Master level (rounded up, minimum of 2). When you restore hit points to a creature or use an Intelligence (Medicine) check to deal damage to a creature, you can spend these d8s to restore additional health or deal additional damage. You regain half this pool of d8s when you finish a short or long rest. PUPPET’S VITALITY Beginning at 3rd level, you have augmented your body in such a way that it is easily modifiable with each step you take towards greatness. But in the process, you have taken on a slew of different compromises due to this change. While you have at least 1 hit point at the start of your turn, you can spend a hit die and regain hit points equal to the result + your constitution modifier. If you have 0 hit points, you can use this feature at the end of your turn. Additionally, you no longer need to eat or sleep, instead opting to tinker with your body for 30 minutes to gain the benefit of a short rest, or for 4 hours to gain the benefits of a long rest. You can only gain the benefit of a short rest tinkering with yourself this way, once per long rest. Also, you regain hit dice equal to your constitution modifier when you finish a short or long rest (In additional to any hit die recovered when you finish a long rest). If you are missing any limbs at the start of a long rest, you can use your crafting skills to remake your missing limb by the end of your rest. Finally, your body has been changed beyond recognition. You are a construct in addition to a Humanoid. You are no longer counted as a living organism, and instead a living construct. You no longer need to breathe, and have become immune to suffocation and poison. You cannot be killed by being beheaded as your head is just a replicant of your previous one. Your consciousness and Soul are contained in a Soul Core located where your heart used to be. You cannot be revived by normal means, instead requiring your Soul Core to be repaired with a DC 30 Crafting check. A creature who fails this check 3 times shatters your soul core, killing you permanently. You no longer benefit from medical jutsu that recovers hit points cast from other creatures. You can still heal yourself with such jutsu though. A creature who casts Mending on you instead heals you 2d8 hit points. If you cast mending on yourself, Mending recovers 2d10 hit points. Beginning at 5th level, the healing increases by 1d10 (3d10), and again at 11th level (4d10) and 17th level (5d10) CHAKRA ENHANCED BIOENGINEERING Additionally, at 3rd level, you can use Chakra Enhanced Retrofit to transfer a bonus to attack or damage rolls on a weapon to natural weapons gained from the subclass. EXTRA ATTACK Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn. PERFECTION OF PUPPETRY Beginning at 14th level, your level of understanding of your puppet self grows: you regain uses of the resources it provides equal to your Intelligence modifier on short rest. Additionally, you are immune to abilities and affects that would put you to sleep.

137 JUTSU SPECIALIZATION You modify your puppet tool to utilize special kinds of attack based jutsu. When you craft this augmentation select two D-Rank Ninjutsu or Taijutsu that you are familiar with and have a casting time of 1 action and a duration of instant.

Once this happens the puppet and all its parts are destroyed beyond repair. OVERDRIVE You build special motors in your puppet to handle more demanding manipulations.

SHARED POWER You use your chakra threads to tap into your puppet’s chakra infused nature. You gain the following options: • As an action, you can drain a number of hit points from your puppet tool, up to twice your puppet master level, either gaining the result as temporary hit points, or recovering that much chakra. • Once per round, either you or your puppet can give up your action to allow the other to take an additional action.
