NARUTO JUMPCHAIN by Nanon NARUTO JUMPCHAIN by NAnon Welcome to the world of Naruto. It’s a pretty nice place, though now that it’s been recovering from having a what basically amounts to a world war what the locals call “Fourth Great Ninja War” or something a few years ago. Some tensions might be on the rise again with what changing leaders and so on. Anyway, here’s 600 CP to pick some stuff up. Have fun. WIP 2 Backgrounds First you should probably roll your age with 1d8+10 if you want to, or you can pay up 50 CP to choose your age and gender. If you start in a village, you will be registered as a Genin of that village. If you don’t start in a village, you may try and join one but don’t expect them to trust you. Drop-In (Free): Pretty self-explanatory. No extra memories, no friends, no family, no experience, no nothing but yourself. You start with an apartment, a week’s worth of food and four sets of local clothing. You are considered a member of the village you start in. Clan-born (200 CP): At least one of your parents belonged to a clan, which bloodline you might have inherited. You start with an apartment where you and your family live, four sets of local clothing and two sets of clan-specific clothing. You are considered a member of the village you start in, though expect torabura if they discover that you belong to a clan from another village. Ninja family (100 CP): Born to an ordinary family of ninjas Normal family (50 CP): Born to an ordinary family of civilians Location You can roll 1d8 for your starting location, or choose it for 50 CP. 1. Konohagakure: The Hidden Village of Leaves, based in the Land of Fire. While the hidden villages of the Five Great Ninja Countries are considered to be largely equal on paper, Konohagakure is still considered the most influential due to its contributions in the Fourth Great Ninja War, but the fact that they were invaded twice before said war even began shows. The use of Fire jutsu is prevalent amongst the ninjas of Konohagakure. The leader of Konohagakure is the Hokage. 2. Iwagakure: The Hidden Village of Stone, based in the Land of Earth. Well known for rock-hard attitude of its ninjas; as soon as an order is given the Iwa-nin follow them, even to death. Has the greatest manpower of the hidden villages of the Five Great Ninja Countries, due to which it is considered the most powerful of them. The use of Earth jutsu is prevalent amongst the ninja of Iwagakure. The leader of Iwagakure is the Tsuchikage. 3. Kumogakure: The Hidden Village of Cloud, based in the Land of Lightning. Finally on the rise after having most of its village destroyed during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kumogakure’s reputation of relentlessly trying to amass power and techniques and other Hidden Villages’ fear of them falling back to their old habits is putting a large strain on the village’s relations with the others. The use of Lightning jutsu is prevalent amongst the ninja of Kumogakure. The leader of Kumogakure is the Raikage 4. Sunagakure: The Hidden Village of Sand, based in the Land of Wind. While Iwagakure is considered the most powerful individual village, there is no doubt that in the world still rebuilding from the Fourth Great Ninja War the alliance between Sunagakure and Konohagakure makes them the defining force amongst the hidden villages, at least for now. The use of Wind jutsu is prevalent amongst the ninja of Sunagakure. The leader of Sunagakure is the Kazegake. 5. Kirigakure: The Hidden Village of Mist, based in the Land of Water. It earned the nickname of “Village of the Bloody Mist” from having the classes of ninja students to fight amongst themselves to death before allowing the survivors to graduate. Said practise might or might not have had a hand in the large amount of missing-nin which have abandoned the village. Those with Bloodline Abilities are regarded with large amounts of suspicion, unlike in other villages. Also home to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, consisting of the greatest blade wielding ninjas of their generation that Kirigakure produces. The swords of the Seven are passed down from generation to generation. 6. Land of Iron: It is an icy, snow-covered country that is politically unusual in that it remains neutral even after the Fourth Great Ninja War. Employs samurai instead of ninja for military which remains strong even after their contribution in the recent war. 7. Land of Noodles: A small country specializing in the production of noodles. Not really significant. Located on the eastern corner of the Land of Fire. 8. Land of Spring: Ruled by the benevolent Koyuki Kazahana, the Land of Spring was formerly known as the Land of Snow. The name was changed after the current daimyo took over and the eternal winter melted and turned into a spring. Has unusually advanced technology, such as railroads, airships, snow mobiles, power generators and volley guns that throw kunai. Skills & Abilities Basic Ninja Training (50 CP, Free Clan-born): You know how to throw kunai and shuriken, a basic taijutsu style, how to climb a tree without hands, create a bunshin and kawarimi. Sensor Ninja Training (200 CP): You’re capable of detecting the presence of other people through chakra. Your range and differentiation ability are limited, but will increase with training. Puppeteer Training (200 CP, Discount Sunagakure): You’re trained to use a puppet controlled by chakra strings in combat. With training you’ll be able to use more complex puppets and perform more complex manoeuvres with them, maybe eventually using one or more at same time. Includes training to care and repair your puppet. Fuinjutsu training (150 CP): Trained in the basics of Fuinjutsu, you know how to create basic seals like Exploding Notes. You also have a very steady hand from all the drawing practice. Nin/Tai/Genjutsu Specialization (100 CP): You’ve focused more on one specific style than the other two resulting in slight neglect in their areas. On the plus side, you’re better at what you focused on and learn what falls under it faster than normal. Kenjutsu (100 CP): You’re proficient with many forms of weapon combat, ranging from katanas to sais to bo-staffs to fuma shuriken. If you can carry it, you likely know how to kill people efficiently with it. You’re also better than average at using kunai and normal shuriken. Healing Chakra Training (200 CP): You are enrolled on healing ninja training class and know how to heal small cuts, stop or at least slow bleeding and wrap bandages. Includes training on poisons and antidotes. You’re also quite proficient in controlling your chakra. Elemental Chakra Training (200 CP, Discount Clan-born): You’ve discovered what element you’re naturally inclined towards, and have basic training in using it. Can be taken for two additional times for 300 CP and 400 CP, with the discount from Clan-born continuing. The five elements are Fire, which is strong against Wind but weak against Water Wind which is strong against Lightning but weak against Fire Lightning which is strong against Earth but weak against Wind Earth which is strong against Water but weak against Lightning Water which is strong against Fire but weak against Earth Bloodline Limit (Base 600 CP, discounts specified per limit): You have awakened the ability to use a Bloodline Limit, a special set of skills passed on in clans. Expect major torabura if the village you are in discovers you have an active Bloodline Limit belonging to another village. Unfortunately your body can’t handle only one Bloodline Limit that you can buy here, after entering the world your body will not be able to handle gaining even one. Ice Release (Drop-In discount): Originating from Land of Water, the clan it belongs to is either decimated or hiding. Allows the user to create and manipulate ice with their chakra, forming it into various structures. Extremely resistant to fire-based attacks. Using it drops the surrounding temperature enough to cause snow to fall. Uzumaki (Drop-In discount): Member of the scattered and decimated Uzumaki clan, you are naturally inclined to fuinjutsu and have an incredibly strong life force, giving you great endurance and longevity along with recuperative powers. With training, you might be able to create chakra chains from your body which you can manipulate at will. Aburame (Clan-born discount): Konohagakure based. You are a living nest of bugs, having a breed of insects living inside your body in symbiosis. You can control the ones inside your body which have various effects ranging from tracking to consuming target’s chakra to transfer it to you and more, as well as talk with different kind of bugs and insects. Akamichi (Clan-born discount): Konohagakure based. You have great physical strength and ability to convert calories into chakra. Main combat ability of the Akamichi clan is increasing the size of their body parts to greatly increase their combat strength. With enough training you might be able to increase your strength without it affecting your size. Hyuga (Clan-born discount): Konohagakure based. You possess Byakugan, an eye-based Bloodline Limit which gives you a 359 degree field of vision and the ability to see through solid objects and chakra circulatory system and to expel chakra through any tenketsu point in your body.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Mughals at War: Babur, Akbar and the Indian Military Revolution, 1500 - 1605
    Mughals at War: Babur, Akbar and the Indian Military Revolution, 1500 - 1605 A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew de la Garza Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin, Advisor; Stephen Dale; Jennifer Siegel Copyright by Andrew de la Garza 2010 Abstract This doctoral dissertation, Mughals at War: Babur, Akbar and the Indian Military Revolution, examines the transformation of warfare in South Asia during the foundation and consolidation of the Mughal Empire. It emphasizes the practical specifics of how the Imperial army waged war and prepared for war—technology, tactics, operations, training and logistics. These are topics poorly covered in the existing Mughal historiography, which primarily addresses military affairs through their background and context— cultural, political and economic. I argue that events in India during this period in many ways paralleled the early stages of the ongoing “Military Revolution” in early modern Europe. The Mughals effectively combined the martial implements and practices of Europe, Central Asia and India into a model that was well suited for the unique demands and challenges of their setting. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to John Nira. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Professor John F. Guilmartin and the other members of my committee, Professors Stephen Dale and Jennifer Siegel, for their invaluable advice and assistance. I am also grateful to the many other colleagues, both faculty and graduate students, who helped me in so many ways during this long, challenging process.

  • Ninjutsu No Gu
    Ninjutsu no Gu Note de l'auteur Lorsqu'on m'a fait découvrir L5A, on m'avais dit qu'il s'agissait d'un monde fantastique inspiré du Japon féodal, avec ses samurai et ses ninja, et toute sa mythologie. Or, je me suis rapidement rendu compte que bien que les Samurai étaient décrits en profondeur et que Rokugan avait sa propre mythologie, les ninja se retrouvaient fort peu détaillés. Certes, on retrouve certaines écoles de ninja dans certains clans majeurs (le plus populaire à ce niveau étant le clan des Scorpions) et au service de l'Ombre Rampante. Toutefois, je n'étais pas satisfait par ces possibilités car je les trouvais à la fois trop restreintes et trop différentes de ma vision d'un ninja. Je ne prétends pas avoir une meilleure vision que AEG de ce qu'est un véritable ninja, mais je me trouvais en droit de créer, pour moi-même et pour de potentiels intéressés, une liste d'ajouts et d'alternatives, afin de satisfaire ma vision du ninja. Les éléments qu'il me semblait manquer aux ninja de AEG étaient les suivants : les villages cachés de ninja, indépendants à l'autorité des clans (exemple : Iga et Koga, au Japon); l'existence d'écoles génériques de ninja, pour les clans ne disposant pas déjà de leur propre école; certains outils du métier d'assassin et d'espion, qu'il s'agisse de compétences ou d'objets; un aspect mythique et religieux du ninjutsu, sans l'influence des préjugés et stéréotypes colportés par le cinéma, à partir des années 60.

  • Samurai Vs Ninja
    In feudal Japan (1185-1868), two kinds of fighters roamed the island nation— the NOBLE SAMURAI and the SNEAKY NINJA. Which would win in a one-on-one battle? LET’S FIND OUT! MAIN WEAPONS— PROTECTIVE ONE LONG SWORD HELMET (KATANA) AND ONE (KABUTO) SHORT SWORD (WAKIZASHI) LONG BOW (YUMI) SAMURAI were well-educated, upper-class warriors closely tied to the nobility. To set a MASK (MENGU) TO good example for the lower classes, these FRIGHTEN ENEMIES men followed a code called bushido, which emphasized loyalty and honor.
