Character Creation

Creating a character can sometimes be a tricky thing to do, especially using a system so heavily modified as this one. Below are some tips and advice, and the general process rewritten to serve as an aid to new players.

Meditation

Think about what kind of character you want before you start the creation process. This will save you a lot of time in creation. Think about how they act how they fight and even how they look. If you change your mind mid-way at least you had a plan!

Ask Your GM!

Always have the GM "ok" the build or direction you wish to send your character in! Not

meeting the GM's approval without having him know can cause trouble later on!

Character Creation should be completed in this order

Character Aspects
Skills
Stress
Stunts

Stress and consequences are how your character withstands the mental and physical toll of their adventures. Characters have at least three one-point boxes for physical stress and at least three one-point boxes for mental stress. They also get one slot each for mild, moderate, and severe consequences.

Your rating in Body affects how many total physical stress boxes you have. Mind does the same for your mental stress.

Mediocre (+0) [1][1][1]
Average (+1) or Fair (+2) [1][1][1] [1]
Good (+3) or Great (+4) [1][1][1] [1][1][1]
Superb (+5) and higher [1][1][1] [1][1][1] and a second mild consequence slot specifically for physical or mental hits

Stunts

Each Character will start out with 3 Stunt Points and 3 Refresh, players can create their own or take the ready stunts. Each stunt after the third requires one refresh. Stunts are used in order to unlock to true shinobi potential. There are various Stunt Types such as Ninjutsu/ Medical Ninjutsu/ Summoning/ Seals/ Genjutsu/ Taijutsu/ Bloodline and Special Equipment.
