07-11-07, 05:45 PM A place to submit feats to represent the bloodline abilities in Naruto. The below feat isn't technically a kekkei genkai, but...

Aburame Clan [Bloodline]
Prerequisites: Animal companion class feature
Benefit: You gain a spider swarm as an "animal" companion. The swarm resides within your body and is treated as having an intelligence score of 1. You are immune to the swarm's distraction special quality. If your companion is killed, enough vermin remain in your body to breed and create a new swarm within one week. You may not gain an animal companion other than a spider swarm in future.
Special: This feat may only be selected at first level. You may only possess one bloodline feat.

07-16-07, 12:22 AM Sharingan [Bloodline]
You possess the famous ability of the Uchiha clan
Prerequisites: Ability to cast spells without preparation
Benefit: You gain immunity to illusions.
Special: This feat may only be selected at 1st level. You may only possess 1 bloodline feat.

Evolved Sharingan [General, Evolved Bloodline]
You have gained a more powerful evolution of your bloodline.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast 5th level spells without preparation, Sharingan
Benefit: When subject to a spell from your spell list that you do not know. You may make a Charisma check (DC 20+spell level) to immediately learn that spell.
Special: For every 5 ranks you possess in Spellcraft, you gain a +1 bonus to this check.

Evolved Bloodline Feats: Evolved bloodline feats require another bloodline feat in order to work properly. One must have the basic feat to use the later ones.

07-16-07, 12:26 AM Posted my version of the Sharingan first, skipping the ultimate evolution because it seems like an epic feat.

Your view of the Aburame has already been done to some extent. (HERE (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20040705a)) And the Aburame would probably have the Natural Bond feat as well. Perhaps you could change it to grant a swarm size increase as well as the ability to regenerate the swarm in a week.

07-16-07, 02:32 PM Well, I have the Eberron CS (with the Child of Winter feat) and I decided that granting a single powerful companion (no choice) would be balanced as a first-level-only feat (which tend to be about twice as powerful). Regenerating the swarm should definitely be a part of the bloodline feat, but what is Natural Bond? Additional feats could be used to represent things like the beetles' chakra-draining abilities (you could say that without the feat the beetles are immature). Really, there should be some kind of cost for having beetles living in your body, but I don't Shino has ever shown anything.

There is a similar set of abilities in the Ravenloft CS for characters transforming into darklords - The Path of the Ringleader, which grants SLAs like summon swarm that originate from your body.

On the Sharingan...
My previous attempt at statting the Sharingan started with an "Uchiha Bloodline" feat, which granted a bonus on Spot and Search checks - no-one is born with control over their Sharingan, though the Uchihas seem to be perceptive even without it active.

The thing is, there are three levels of power to the Sharingan (shown by the number of tomoes in the eyes).
Two tomoes in each eye: Perceptive powers (arcane sight, foresight, true seeing)
Two tomoes in one eye, three in the other: Copy techniques of others
Three tomoes in each eye: Suggestion gaze at will (very reasonable suggestions)

Then, of course, there's the Mangekyo Sharingan - undoubtably epic. When I tried statting it before (I wasn't entirely satisfied with the results), it didn't give the user any new abilities, but allowed them to learn Tsukoyomi and Amaterasu as 9th-level spells.

The Byakugan shouldn't grant true seeing, as Neji couldn't identify a shadow illusion. The Psionic Naruto builds (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=589061) thread suggested steadfast perception.

/OT

That's because the Shadow Clones are NOT illusions but real bodies made up with the chakra, so the byakugan didn't work. For the Byakugan would be better use Detect Magic (or Psionic) since this Bloodline allow you to see Chakra of other persons (and objects).

07-16-07, 08:01 PM this is already done. Just search Shinobi core class [naruto based]. They have these feats done already.

07-19-07, 12:18 AM It might be better to do the kekkai genkai as prestige classes, because there are only a very few people, even in the clans, that are able to awaken the power. Taking the feat is easy, but the requirements for different prestige classes are what really do it. Maybe have the feats grant small abilities, such as a +2 to search and spot for the Sharingan, since they are usually the more perceptive, and have it be a requirement for the prestige class. One that I have seen that seems to be able to be used for the Sharingan is the Visionary Seeker from Planar Handbook, which allows you to copy a spell that you have seen in the past 24 hours. Maybe have the technique neutralization they do be a flavor description of Despel Magic

07-19-07, 01:40 PM For the Sharingan, I suggest you "learn" the copied spell for a short time only (a day or even an encounter), but also add it to the list of spells you can learn.

08-07-07, 01:40 PM Doesn't Byakugan grant all-around vision? And Kakashi knew his techniques for much longer than just one round, and he's not even an Uchiha.

08-16-07, 11:15 AM Okay, the Aburame clan feat is too powerful, as swarm familiars have been done, and they require Improved Familiar.

Same for the Sharingan. At 1st level you can be immune to Phantasmal Killer? Maybe do it as a bonus on saves against illusions, instead.
