1) What are do these following abbreviations mean?- Mas, BAB, and Grap.
2) I know what Grap means, but not the rules that go with it, so I will need some help with that.
3) If you want, you can PM me the answer on this forum or the Frnakto forums (I use the same username.), thanks!
As for Grapple, the rules are as follow:
Grapple
Grappling means wrestling and struggling hand-to-hand.
There are three stages to grappling: grabbing, holding, and pinning.
Grabbing
Normally, a grab is just the first step to starting a grapple. If the character grabs an opponent, but fails to go on to hold him or her, the character doesn’t actually start a grapple. However, sometimes all a character wants to do is grab the target.
Holding
Once a character has established a hold, he or she is involved in a grapple. From a hold, a character can attempt a number of actions, including damaging the opponent or pinning the opponent. A character can’t get a hold on any creature more than two size categories larger than the character. (However, such a creature can get a hold on the character—so while a character can’t initiate a grapple with a creature more than two size categories larger than, a character can still end up in one.)
Pinning
Getting the opponent in a pin is often the goal of a grapple. A pinned character is held immobile.
Grapple Checks
When a character is involved in a grapple, he or she will need to make opposed grapple checks against an opponent—often repeatedly. A grapple check is something like a melee attack roll. A character’s attack bonus on a grapple check is:
Base attack bonus + Strength modifier + grapple modifier
Grapple Modifier
A creature’s size works in its favor when grappling, if that creature is Large or larger in size. Conversely, a creature of Small or smaller size is at a disadvantage because of its size when grappling. Instead of using a creature’s size modifier on a grapple check (as would be done for a melee or ranged attack roll), use the appropriate grapple modifier from Table: Grapple Modifiers.
Table: Grapple Modifiers
Size (Example) Grapple Modifier
Colossal (blue whale [90 ft. long]) +16
Gargantuan (gray whale [40 ft. long]) +12
Huge (elephant) +8
Large (lion) +4
Medium-size (human) +0
Small (German shepherd) –4
Tiny (housecat) –8
Diminutive (rat) –12
Fine (horsefly) –16
Starting a Grapple
To start a grapple, a character first needs to grab and hold his or her target. Attempting to start a grapple is the equivalent of making a melee attack. If the character gets multiple attacks in a round, he or she can attempt to start a grapple multiple times (at successively lower base attack bonuses). Follow these steps.
1. Attack of Opportunity: A character provokes an attack of opportunity from the target he or she is trying to grapple. If the attack of opportunity deals the character damage, the character fails to start the grapple. If the attack of opportunity misses or otherwise fails to deal damage, proceed to step 2.
2. Grab: The character makes a melee touch attack to grab the target. If the character fails to hit the target, the character fails to start the grapple. If the character succeeds, proceed to step 3.
3. Hold: Make an opposed grapple check. (This is a free action.) If the character succeeds, the character has started the grapple, and deals damage to the target as if with an unarmed strike.
If the character loses, he or she fails to start the grapple. The character automatically loses an attempt to hold if the target is two or more size categories larger than the character is (but the character can still make an attempt to grab such a target, if that’s all he or she wants to do).
4. Maintain the Grapple: To maintain the grapple for later rounds, the character must move into the target’s square. (This movement is free and doesn’t count as part of the character’s movement for the round movement.) Moving, as normal, provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening enemies, but not from the target. The character and the target are now grappling.
If the character can’t move into the target’s square, the character can’t maintain the grapple and must immediately let go of the target. To grapple again, the character must begin at step 1.
Grappling Consequences
While a character is grappling, his or her ability to attack others and defend him or herself is limited.
No Threatened Squares: A character doesn’t threaten any squares while grappling.
No Dexterity Bonus: A character loses his or her Dexterity bonus to Defense (if the character has one) against opponents the character isn’t grappling. (The character can still use it against opponents he or she is grappling.)
No Movement: A character cannot move while held in a grapple.
If the Character is Grappling
When a character is grappling (regardless of who started the grapple), he or she can attempt any of several actions on his or her turn. Unless otherwise noted, each of these options is equivalent to an attack. (If the character normally gets more than one attack per attack action, he or she can attempt as many of these options as he or she has attacks available, using his or her successively lower attack bonus for each roll.) The character is limited to these options only; he or she cannot take any other actions.
Damage the Opponent: Make an opposed grapple check; if the character succeeds, he or she deals damage as with an un*armed strike.
Pin: Make an opposed grapple check; if the character succeeds, he or she holds the opponent immobile for 1 round. The opponent takes a –4 penalty to Defense against all attacks from other people (but not from the character); however, the opponent is not considered helpless.
A character can’t use a weapon on a pinned character or attempt to damage or pin a second opponent while holding a pin on the first.
A pinned character can’t take any action except to attempt to escape from the pin.
Escape from Grapple: Make an opposed grapple check. If the character succeeds, he or she can escape the grapple. If more than one opponent is grappling the character, the grapple check result has to beat all their check results to escape. (Opponents don’t have to try to hold a character if they don’t want to.)
Alternatively, the character can make an Escape Artist check opposed by the opponent’s grapple check to escape from the grapple. This is an attack action that the character may only attempt once per round, even if the character gets multiple attacks.
If the character has not used his or her move action for the round, the character may do so after escaping the grapple.
Escape from Pin: Make an opposed grapple check. If the character succeeds, he or she can escape from being pinned. (Opponents don’t have to try to keep the character pinned if they don’t want to.) The character is still being grappled, however.
Alternatively, a character can make an Escape Artist check opposed by the opponent’s grapple check to escape from the pin. This is an attack action that the character may only attempt once per round, even if the character gets multiple attacks.
Break Another’s Pin: Make an opposed grapple check; if the character succeeds, he or she can break the hold that an opponent has over an ally.
Draw a Light Weapon: A character can draw a light weap*on as a move action.
Attack with a Light Weapon: A character can attack with a light weapon while grappling (but not while pinned or pinning). A character can’t attack with two weap*ons while grappling.
If the Character is Pinned
When an opponent has pinned the character, he or she is held immobile (but not helpless) for 1 round. (the character can’t attempt any other action.) On the character’s turn, he or she can attempt to escape from the pin. If the character succeeds, he or she is still grappling.
Joining a Grapple
If the target is already grappling someone else, a character can use an attack to start a grapple, as above, except that the target doesn’t get an attack of opportunity against the character, and the character’s grab automatically succeeds. The character still has to make a successful opposed grapple check and move in to be part of the grapple.
If multiple enemies are already involved in the grapple, the character picks one against whom to make the opposed grapple check.
Multiple Grapplers
Several combatants can be in a single grapple. Up to four combatants can grapple a single opponent in a given round. Creatures that are one size category smaller than the character count as one-half creature each; creatures that are one size category larger than the character count as two creatures; and creatures two or more size categories larger than the character count as four creatures.
When involved in a grapple with multiple opponents, the character chooses one opponent to make an opposed check against. The exception is an attempt to escape from the grapple; to escape, a character’s grapple check must beat the check results of all opponents.
Hope this helps, and I still don't understand what you mean by "Your own Naruto RPG". Do you mean a game, a game forum, a set of rules in itself?
Good day,

[ Frank_Vinneti ]-[ Frankto ]
[ Buddha the DM ]-[ Valkyn Highwind ]
Come on we need more people!
Any Naruto fans that are interested in playtesting the setting should head over to the message boards that were linked to in the first post.
Come on we need more people!
Yeah, I already applied for that. I just need Frank's permission before I make my character.
Turn in a proper concept for a character and then things go from there. That's what I had to do.
In regards to playtesting..
As the title suggest, the Naruto d20 Playtesting starts shortly. We need a few more trusted individuals to help us in this task, so speak up!
You must, however, meet a few requirements:
#1: You MUST use propper grammar and spelling. Not doing so means that you will be unable to playtest with us.
#2: You must near the GMT EST -5 timezone.
#3: Your knowledge of the Naruto Universe must extend futher than "Well, Ninjas do cool techniques and I know Konoha is in the fire country...", meaning you don't have to ask question when I talk about the Wind country's Kazekage for example.
#4: You must not distribute the materials I will provide you with before, during and after the playtesting unless I authorize you to do so. Doing so will get you expelled from the Playtesting project and see your character suffer the "Ninpou, Zansatsusha no Kuchiyose"*.
All applicants should note that whatever happens in the game will affect the writing of Naruto: d20. If you create a clan, ask me to make an Advanced Bloodline or technique, there is a good chance that I add it to the supplement itself.
Applicants should reply to this thread and provide a character concept after which I will judge wether or not they qualify to participate in the playtest. Accepted applicants will be provided with the full developped content (meaning all advanced classes, equipments, techniques, new rules, feats, etc.).
You should base your character on the following informations:
The game will be set in the Country of Rock (which I will call that for the lack of exact name). In the Hidden Village of Jade (Suigyokugakure no Sato), which prospered well under the guidance of the Second Tsuchikage (Nidaime), the players will be young ninjas (some of them not even Genin) who train to achieve an even greater level of power and become great ninjas.
Being so far north, the people of the Country of Rock are used to cold weather. Among Rock Ninjas, it's the survival of the fittest. Their cold, harsh manners don't make them any less competent or dutiful, however, and they are good at following orders.
That's pretty much all there is to say for now.
Good day,
Frankto Vinneti
* more details on that technique to come soon
In regards to help needed...
Also the project is in need of proofreaders, artists who can provide illustrations, people who are good at layout design, and content providers from people who are skilled in making things for D20 Modern.
Anyone out there like the anime series of Naruto? Ever curious about how it would translate into D20 Modern? Well come on over to Frankto's Realm and read up about what's been done for it so far, and to talk about your own ideas for the setting.
You can find more information about the project through the following links, and please direct all inquiries about it there.

By all means, please enlighten me.

I swear that its frustrating!!!
From the Naruto: d20 Website, January 21st, 2005
Good and bad news revealed this Friday. First, the Naruto: d20 Main File is released. It's a 102 pages document containing the rules, more than enough content to play a long lasting campaign.
Onto the bad news, now. Because of recent lack of inspiration and motivation, the project is put under undefined hiatus until the creative juices start flowing again. Discuss this issue and Naruto: d20 in general on the forums.
Main file released for all to see at last. EDIT: The project has been picked up again.
Good day,
Frankto Vinneti
We like your comments! It makes us (me) feel good.
EDIT: On a whole other subject, I've released an updated version of the Main File, including the Ghastly Inheritance template and Uzumaki Naruto. That's Kyuubi's brat for ya!
Shikaze no Jutsu (Four Winds Technique)
Taijutsu (Martial Arts; Kazekakure Hijutsu) [Rank 4]
Learn DC:19; Perform DC: 17; Time: 1 full-round action; Components: M; Range: Touch; Target: 1 creature; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws: Fort, stun; Chakra Cost: 2
This technique is one of the many in the arsenal of the Kazekakure. It is also one of the most simple. The user creates the illusion of many attacks upon his chosen target. Simply put, the user may make his full number of attacks four times. However, they may only deal damage a number of times equal to their number of normal attacks, unmodified by this technique. (Ex: Hijei activates this technique. He has two attacks. Therefore, he makes eight attacks, but may only deal damage twice). The target must make a Fortitude save, or be stunned for the next round as they imagine the pummeling they are not, in fact, taking.
Though the time slot indicates a full-round action, this technique takes no time to perform and a full-round to execute. Skikaze no Jutsu takes effect immediately.
Any help anyone can provide, including criticism, is welcome. Have fun with it! :D
If your brother thinks the technique is too powerful, then he is probably looking for a high powered campaign (or is a powergamer). In addition, I think the technique should be a Genjutsu (Mind-Affecting; Stun), but that's just me.
Uzumaki Naruto: Tough Hero 5/Dedicated Hero 3 (Ghastly Inheritance; ECL 11); CR 9; Medium Humanoid (Human); HD 5d10+25 plus 3d6+15 plus 8; hp 90; Mas 50; Init +1; Spd 30 ft; Defense 15 (+1 dex, +4 class), Touch 15, Flat-Footed 14; BAB +4; Grap +6; Atk +7 melee (1d8+2 nonlethal, brawl); Full Atk +; FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; SQ Blazing Rage, Greater Health, Kyuubi Manifestation, Overwhelming Chakra; AL dreams, friends, good; SV Fort +9, Ref +8, Will +4; AP 12; CP 31; Rep +2; Wealth +16; Learn: +8; Str 14, Dex 13, Con 21, Int 13, Wis 9, Cha 14.

PLEASE
Indeed. What class are you refering to?
The one on the Naruto D20 page. That doesn't provide a class on there? My bad.
Well, here it is folks! We have this nice contest for you guys to participate in and some prizes hand out.

What you get:
- 1st place:
- 1 narutod20.com subdomain redirect

(If this is forbidden, I would appreciate a warning or the post to be deleted instead of having the thread locked, please. The CoC is unclear on that point.)
I really wanna help whith the playtests but I dont have enough control of english to avoid be massacred for the others and besides my time zone is out of question :raincloud
:surrender But there something in the rules I dont understand ....sumoning. You choose the feat (blood pact)and learn the jutsu but the techinique is limited for level and not for chackra????
And some animals have a size limit that some people in the series cancel(I´m talking about the slug that tsunade summons that have at least gargantuan size but the liomit of the slug is medium)....It´s that right or not??If is wrong please esplain the rules to me 
And put the stats of gamabunta PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
C
Gamabunta and Katsuyu will come in time, as special creatures that ignore the size limit, as specified in the size entry of the chapter.
There is no playtest going on at this time.
Thank you for your good words.

Thanks for your quick answer ! :D
I really enjoyed the file ,specially your jutsu sistem, I played last night and all my players loved it(well this until Uchiha itachi showeds up
)!We are even thinking in drop off the D&D magic sistem and use it instead; its better than the 
psionics sistem that we used until now(we hate the vancian sistem).So (in resume) thanks again :D

Stay tuned for Naruto: d20 Guidebook - Scrolls of Knowledge Volume 1 soon!
I'm looking forward to Scrolls of Knowledge.
All very nicely down, Frank.
I'm looking forward to Scrolls of Knowledge.
In fact, a number of players in my gaming group have now also expressed some interest in campaigning using your 'Naruto' system.
Can you perhaps provide some hint of what 'Scrolls of Knowledge' will include so I can judge whether it would be best to wait until its release before I start my game using your rules?
The first volume will be released as "Scrolls of Knowledge" when it hits 350 pages and I complete it. There's more than enough information to play in long-lasting campaign already.
So far, with 323/350 pages, I feel I'm doing pretty good.
Seriously, we have 2 great artists working with us and I think the Scrolls of Knowledge will be awesome. I strongly suggest you stay tuned for more to come!
I can't let this thread die! For with the next update, possibly tomorrow, Naruto: d20 will have a pagecount about as big as the d20 Modern Core Rulebook! That's 376 vs. 384, and it's still going!
!::Bump::
....
494 pages?
....
Wow. I should move on and do something else, shouldn't I? Ah well. So... who's gonna volunteer for the spellchecking, artwork-ing and layout-ing? Kukukuku...
)I can't help with things like spellchecking(my english is good,but not perfect,i'm not from the US),but i really have some great ideas and suggestions(for example,i've created myself stats for some npc's like the 3rd hokage,and i have great ideias for adventures and stuff)as well as the will to help you in this great job...please,send me a reply if you are interested in getting some help from this humble genin
Glad you liked the book!
P.S. Out of curiosity, how many people here know about RealUltimatePower.net?
Balanced Bloodlines? Er, there's not really any trick. You just gotta play around with the system and see what comes of it. Playtest it, I guess?
Thanks! Glad you liked the book.
The only feats that can give you a permanent Speed or Strength rank are epic feats.
P.S. Out of curiosity, how many people here know about RealUltimatePower.net?
Meh, pirate's are better, and more explosive. However, I did buy the book for a friend. It rules.
how much compatibility there is between Naruto D20 and standard D20 Modern? My friends are big fans of D20M/Past/Future/Apocalypse, but not much Naruto (they, like me, keep thinking 'why can't you note the freakin' snake man behind the Hokage and f"!··ing ATTACK HIM!!!!?'), and wanted to try and play it, some of them Nins, some not.
So it might be just too dumb (I suppose) to give the Snake Man (you know who I'm talking about) some street justice.
Other than that, I suppose it should be fine.
I mean, i'm having a brain fart at the moment, but would that be the biggest disadjustment, Jutsus and everything aside?
The balance is precarious due to the Chakra Control skill to convert the cost to HPs, so if the party has a Medic-nin, they could potentially chuck fireballs at each other all day without running out of steam. That's if the GM is not careful, of course. EDIT: Wait, nevermind. I took care of that problem ages ago.
But yeah, that'd pretty much be the biggest adjustment I can think of right now. That, and you can now walk on walls, water, that kind of stuff.
If you have a passing interest in Naruto and d20 Modern, come visit us at our forums: http://forums.narutod20.com/
It seems to me that I've been spurting the same melody over and over and over again everywhere since the beginning of this project. Grmbl...
Following the thread I kinda said on the last posts of mine: a balancing factor between Narutoverse characters and Modern characters, I think, would be that they can't access each other's stuff (or so, I think).
So Naruto characters can't have, for example, Personal/Advanced Firearms Proficiency and can buy handguns, and Modern characters can't have Nin Weapons Proficiency and Nin weapons are all Illegal (+4) outside the Villages, with penalty to be on an ANBu raid if you DO buy them.
So, well... I'd like to get an opinion.
I don't see why Ninja would deny themselves the obvious advantage firearms would bring only for the sake of keeping them out of the hands of players or upholding traditions.
Being that both kama and kunai are gardening tools, shuriken can be anything from a thin blade to a "ninja star," and that a Kodachi isn't a ninja weapon any more than a "Ninjato," I don't really understand why Nin Weapons would need to be Illegal in non-Shinobi Villages. I mean, what is there to outlaw? The design?
Oh, right. And...
Excellent job. Look forward to more!
The other (run by a friend) was to drop Orochimaru as a 'guest star' in a Space Marine D20 Future adventure. Part of the team was slaughtered on the first encounter, and the rest went the way of the 'Alien Trilogy', barricading themselves on the ship's CIC and then running for it when he managed to get inside (using some Jutsu to crawl thru an extremely tight ventilation shaft).
One of my friends' PCs went Kamikaze and blew himself (and possibly Orochimaru) to Heck with a Nuclear Hand Grenade. But like I said (and the GM insinuated), it's 'possibly'...
Wow.. the amount of work gone into this sorta thing is stunning.
Excellent job. Look forward to more!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Just made two adventures, related in some way to the Naruto game. One was the cave intro adventure that is on the Naruto PDF. That went well.
Good to see people are actually playing it!
im new to naruto d20 system, i have been playing dnd (standard) for a while now but anyway, i wanted to ask a question. Has anyone combained naruto d20 with dnd and if so what came of it. any classes prcs for example ninja druids. Also are there any feats that give you extrme speed/strenth and if so what are they i read through the file but i did not see any, Thank you ahead of time, if this is the wrong im sorry. btw to anyone that helps i will give a cookie
I've starting sifting thru the site just now, and the PDF has a few flaws. My sig has a couple of links that some of you may find interesting.
I have certain questions.
- Do I need BESM?
- Do I need d20 Modern?
- Have you seen www.d20nojutsu.com?
- Can somebody please help me with creating my [thread=637914]Psionic-Narutoverse[/thread]?
- Why are you making up new rules when the existing rules are perfectly capable of emulating every single thing you could possibly want? A tweeking here, a little tweeking there maybe, but it's already all available.
Cool system. I'll have to introduce this to my DnD group, they've all seen Naruto at least once or twice.
NO! Come back to the light! That system has more holes than swiss cheese.
Yes it has neat abilites. Yes you could make a character, but oh so few characters are possible with the current rules as they stand. Go over to psionics, there's two links in my sig.
Are there significantly different rules for d20 (no, I've never played d20 with the strong, fast, etc characters), and if there is, is there a separate rulebook that one would need to aquire to make this class useable in an upcoming campiagn? I have a feeling that both of these are a yes, but I want to check.
Anyway, the class is beautiful, and I can't wait to make a Byakugan character. Thw white-eyes is in my idea, perfect, and the jutsu list is way better that either nightscreamers or my own modded version. You rock, have a guitar cookie.
Flay, the system uses d20 Modern, which you may learn everything you need to know about in the SRD somewhere around this site (the link is everywhere in the forums, also). Thank you, I hope you enjoy it.
Anywho, I was just wondering, the Hiten Mitsirugi Ryu....... does that appear in the show, or is it just Kenshin studd for the swordsmaster class? Because if it is, I'd love to help work on the other Kenshin Styles (I hve up to manga #18). not sure if it in fact does appear or not, but it definetly surprised me. So yeah, other sword styles, perhaps, if you'd like.
the_taken, please kindly stay out of this thread in the future lest you're ready to either offer constructive criticism instead of saying your views are obviously so much better than that of others.
I'll get back to you on my constructive criticism when I finish reading your rulebook. I'll even start a thread on tehsource to save the admins the trouble of troll hunting/fire fighting.
Thank you, I have fallen for d20. Mucho gracias.

The sword style doesn't appear in Naruto, no, but neither do weapon seals, or Shinmei Ryuu really. Just added to make things more interesting and because I felt like it. Glad you like it.
And I have the whole Rurouni Kenshin manga series in my bookshelf ;p

It really gives the non-ninja swordsman class (which reflecting is pretty much kenshin right there) a bit more flavor and ability to compete in the narutoverse. Now I'm gonna hafta look at the gemini dancer core class and translate the dances for two weapon fighters (for our beloved Oushi. :D )
And I have the whole Rurouni Kenshin manga series in my bookshelf ;p
DAMN YOU!!!!! How many past 27 are there? :P
And there's only 28 volumes, as well as 5 extras spread amongst them ;)
The stats are SO close to the series, so can you stat Kame-Sennin (I know he's not in the series but you mentioned him in your Naruto-Version-Kamehameha) =)
I'd like to use him in a game, and your a hell of alot better at statting. :D
I'd print the whole thing if it werent so **** big
WHY WON'T it PRINT??????
no-one gets it so i'll spell it out:
WHY WON'T it PRINT??????
Software copyright protection. Frankto's open gaming license lets you read, know and play the game for free, but he's charging you a dollar to actualy get a hard copy of it.
Now, it's been a while since I haven't been here. There IS a character sheet available for download and free printing restriction, if you'd bothered to check the forums. It's in a thread called "Character and Technique Sheets," fancy that.
As for learning to play, I'd suggest reading the d20 Modern CRB.
If you want to make your site publicly known, I invite you to stop posting here and make your own thread, the_taken. I've already asked you nicely about this, and my opinion hasn't changed.
Thud18 mentioned that your system didn't work for him and I provided an altenative. There is no bad thing being done to you by me doing this. Realy.
I, however, intivite you to ignore me.

One question. How do you print from this thing?
Maybe Frankto should tell peopl you can't print in his first post.
no-one gets it so i'll spell it out:
WHY WON'T it PRINT??????
Software copyright protection. Frankto's open gaming license lets you read, know and play the game for free, but he's charging you a dollar to actualy get a hard copy of it.
I've downloaded and read all of the stuff from the Naruto d20 website and I just need some people who can tell me how to use the d20 modern format instead of the D&D one. Could you help me out? I need to know because I am starting my own Naruto d20 RPG.
wizards has a refrence page search the site for D20 reference documents
Yes I think you should add some classes that are 20 level and are all that are needed to work into dnd. That is woulkd be nice
On other notes, there's been an update a tenday ago, and there's going to be another one soon. I'm working out the kinks in the system, revamping a lot of rules, such as the puppet combat and the kikaichuu, which I really, really need to rename.
The update should happen reasonably soon, a few days or a week at the latest, unless something comes up. I'm also working on adding more class options, such as the Shade for this one update, which is basically a modified version of the D&D Assassin--that doesn't require that you be evil ;)
That's it for the progress report. If you have a question, come over to the forums at narutod20.com/forum, since it's far more likely to be answered quickly there either by myself or the community. And who knows? With your help, it might even become a half-decent RPG someday!
Yeeesh... 705 pages!
Drop by our forums to grab it and drop us a comment while you're there. It makes us feel good.
Thanks to Hastur and Keldon Draconian for their help in releasing this update and making sure everything runs that much smoother!
I'm fairly certain Jashin is an elaborate fabrication, being that shinobi are masters of subterfuge and all.
And both Naruto: d20 and myself are empowered by free cover art, compliment of Jon Grasseschi. How awesome is that? Drop by our forums and tell him how badass he is!
And isn't shingami the god of death in the naruto world. Plus the Bijuu are like Demon Princes in their own right.
Going overboard for the win.
And Hecretic, shinigami is ALWAYS the god of death.
I found myself entertaining the idea of a 1000-page guidebook the other day, and can't help but chuckle heartily at that. Bring it on :D

No, he is just one out of many in the planes;)
And I looked at your system but am a little disappointed it is based off d20 modern(which I don't particuarly care for) rather than fantasy.

[thread=589061]Psionic Naruto Builds.[/thread] Enjoy.
awesome, but don't you think that the naruto characters are a little too powerful. For one, I highly doubt the sannins are lv 26.
I agree. But remember that Naruto is written by a DBZ fan, and he'll whip out insane levels of power for the story.
Additionally, Naruto characters require a large number of feats, powers, and class abilites to translate them into the d20 fantasy. The fact that the game designers didn't differentiate between horizontal growth (more options) and vertical growth (bigger numbers) makes this necessary. In D&D, HG and VG are almost completely fused together.

You do have a good point there. Still, I don't imagine the strongest shinobi to be any more than lvs 20-21.
Oh people always show insane power for something and it disappoints when it appears as stats. Take Dragonlance as an example, an evil wizards summoned a wave that smashed a metropolis to pieces in one hit, yet he most likely is only a lv 23 or something and the spell he used wasen't even an epic level spell. And we have the Simbul killing hundreds of liches and armies of red wizards at once using silver fire and her stats obviously dosen't reflect this as silver fire is very weak.
Also, in D&D, a level 20 wizard can seriously just annihilate any number of Lvl12 anything (including fresh liches) without any trouble. Seriously, d20 fantasy is designed so that an ECL20 character is supposed to be able to take out an CR12 entity with so little effort he doesn't get any XP. Just adding more CR12s won't change anything, they don't have the numbers.
I haven't dealt with Dragonlance, but I can tell you that when dealing with d20 based actions, a difference of 4 means a one-sided conflict. The underdog inherently cannot win in D&D.

Oh really. There are ways if you are creative enough. In one of my campaigns we a group of lv 9 characters killed like a lv 16 vampire by shoving an inmovable rod into his throat with mage hand and using a bull rush to crack his skull into a million pieces. And as for the low levels, it depends on the race. Now there is a big difference between a lv 12 human and a lv 12 Rakhasha.
Don't bring LA to the conversation. Those rules are still debatable as to their balance.
That sounds like an ambush situation, meaning highly favourable conditions. In any case, the rules don't support that exact use of an Immovable Rod and bull rushing, so a generous DM doesn't change anything. And was that an ECL16 vampire or a CR16 vampire?

Oh, we killed him once the old fashioned way too. And he actually ambushed us.:P
If you have any suggestions about what to do with it, not including rules on how to distribute the shinobi skills like sense chakra and such, you can tell me there. I'd be much obliged.
This jutsu is a combination of the Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin and the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. In this jutsu, Hinata emits a constant stream of chakra from her palms, creating extremely sharp chakra blades. With her natural flexibility, Hinata can reach any point around her, allowing her to hit any target within her field of vision. While using this jutsu, Hinata moves extremely fast (her movements become a blur), allowing her to hit hundreds of targets with extreme precision, much like the original Sixty-Four Palms jutsu. Additionally, Hinata can control the size of the chakra beams in her palms, allowing her to create larger, arc-shaped chakra beams that spread out across her entire attack range. This creates an "absolute defense" effect similar to that of the Heavenly Spin, though the cutting nature of the chakra prevents any outside force from restricting it. In this way, the technique can be used as both an offensive and defensive maneuver.
I took the technique information drectly from Wikipedia in case anyone is wondering.
I don't know if it has just been overlooked or left out intentionally, so I thought I would post abou it.
Ohh and i was wondering if i could be in the playtesting:D
i was wondering if i could be in the playtesting. plz? i love the show,and i know the jutsus pretty well,and the ppls names
This is a great effort to convert this show into a game. I stumbled upon this looking for an official game. I have not seen stats for the shows characters anywhere using this system. I know this may be a copyright issue to make the characters, like Naruto, etc. However, I am sure that someone has done this, I am curious as to what a starting character would look like compared to Naruto or Rock Lee.
I really am starting to get in to the Naruto Universe. It would be nice to find a book that breaks all the fantasy elements of this universe into one nice explanation. Such as, time place, technology.
Thanks!
Hope this helps
Not to mention the information that leafninja has is only part of what sidestepper asked for.
If you wish to see Naruto and company fleshed out under the Naruto D20 rules, download the latest Main file and find Chapter 12. It has almost every main character leveled correctly and carefully.
And one more update, fully bookmarked, brings the file even closer to 1000 pages. Which clearly means I've spent too long on this project. Ah well.
Please read the file and ask any question you have before voting.
-cooldude out-
H-huh. Around 7.3mb or 936 pages written by yours truly. Why?
986 pages...so people have this on their pcs?
And yes, cool_dude1010, they do. I'm not sure I understand the point in asking?
The file. It is...
Updated.
Check the forum for more information! Tell your friends :p
Also, if you happen not to like Naruto so much, there's a bunch of stuff you can use for your games to give it a more D&D or complete feel. Or something.
Cheers.
Check it out on the forums!
