Naruto UAs

Herein are the Unique Abilites of my PCs, NPCs, and what's left by Chron and what I stole from Antary. I'll offer some commentary on mine.
A bunch of them are probably out of date, which shall not prevent us from recording them.


= PCs =
Hachi Kame
UA1: Aspect - Chest hair
Grants natural 5 points of mundane DR, which stack with armor. This DR can be damaged or negated by effects that can do that (like wind element), after which it is assumed the opponents are going for the wounds. If armor is worn over it, the physical armor is damaged before the aspect, and the DR part that was in effect is lowered. When the character is healed to full HP, the DR coming from this aspect is fully restored.

UA2: Desperation - 「Fake Kekkei Genkai: Dead Hair Pulse」
When the character enters the Injured pool, they gain 6 Grit (rank3 Desperation), and are now mechanically allowed to use "Kekkei Genkai Training: Dead Bone Pulse". This also effectively disables their armor, grants them natural 10 mundane DR (doubled against Taijutsu), as well as two intances of the Healthy perk.
They are also allowed to take ranks in this training during downtime. Due to the large amount of Grit provided by the Unique Ability, activating Burst of Spines costs one point of Grit, and can only be done once per turn.
Finally, the character's Martial Arts become South School while the technique is active.
The actual bodypart used for the technique, of course, is hair.

UA3: Aspect - Dual Heritage
Character profits  from One of the Masses, as if they were born in Iwagakure, and can buy the techniques required. Additionally, he gains a +2 ASB bonus to defend actions against non-KKG attacks of Hidden Stone shinobi of rank up to Jonin. This is a Knowledge bonus and interacts with mechanics that care for it, but stacks with any succesful knowledge rolls.

UA4: Drive - Surgical Strike
This drive is a follow-up to Attack actions, requiring two successes, and costing 6 grit.
When the Character hits using Martial Arts, they may add damage and effects as if they have also hit using the Chakra Scalpels stance, using the same amount of successes.
When the character hits using Medical Ninjutsu, they may add damage and effects as if they have also hit with a basic Martial Arts attack.

- I remain convinced that 5 DR as UA1 aspect is perfectly fine, even though there were some UA1 aspects that did that AND gave +1 Taijutsu or something
- Hachi never got to use UA2 since he never got even Injured through all the beef, but I'm pretty sure this one is way too strong, even after having to pay with XP for the training and all. Accquiring DBP suddenly gives him a bunch of DR and Healthy stacks, healing him when it shouldn't do that in the first place, so it pretty much cheats the system.
- UA3 is for flavor, though camouflage and hammerfist next to Konoha maneuvers is good shit
- I'm not sure if offensive followups that aren't critical hit should exist at all, but it's a Jonin UA, so it should murder people.


Shinnon Kurame
UA1: Spice in the Air (Aspect)
The weight of the kusarigama is filled with incense, spreading relaxants around the enemy. Attacks with Kusarigama cause cumulative +1ASB on the use of Genjutsu, up to the user's rank. Damage with Kusarigama also does not break Genjutsu that is already active.

U2: Hypnotic Coils (Style)
Trigger: Using Tempest, 9 Grit
After this style is triggered, attacks with Kusarigama create a field of Burst 1 per attack at the target's position, which cause -1 ASP against Genjutsu-base actions. These fields can overlap and stack, up to the user's Rank in penalty.
When the owner performs a Genjutsu, they may choose for it to only target enemies within the fields.

- these were fucking useless and I never used them and I had no idea what I was doing mainly due to not having good understanding of how Genjutsu worked at the time of making these I guess


Marisha Ushi
UA1: Fatty's Eye (Aspect)
Fatty's surgically transplanted eye. Allows the character to share vision with Fatty, including out-of-combat practical use.
While Fatty is summoned, he is always considered to be in formation with the character, no matter the distance.

UA2: False Style: Tick Throws (Style)
Requires 9 Grit to activate. Activates with Charge.
While this Style is active, the Grapple manuever can be used with Nekote. Additionally, Charges with Nekote can count as the Spear manuever from Clan of Power, as long as the Grit cost is paid.
Spear: You must have "Charge" to use this ability. When you make a basic "Martial Arts" "Attack" action from "Charge" you may choose to use your body as a projectile and grab them. If they "Defend" with a skill that is not "Martial Arts" and their speed is not greater than yours by 2 or more you automatically hit them. You may then "Grapple" them as a free action. Costs 2 Grit.

UA3: Doujutsu - Mabyogan (Mode)
Right eye of the bake-neko. Bestows the fortune of a cat onto the user.
Req. 15 Grit to activate, removes all debuffs and makes one immune to debuffs.
Channeling chakra through the eye in a proper way grants a revelation of the most optimal path through combat, and adjusts anything that doesn't fit. This is a reality warping phenomenon similar to Izanagi, much less potent, but active over a longer period of time.
While the Mode is active, the characters rolls of 2 grant double successes. Additionally, the first roll they take on their each turn is rolled twice, and the better result is picked.

UA4: Scholar of Obscure Styles (Aspect)
Marisha may spend a secondary action at any time, to study the posture of someone, by making a Taijutsu Knowledge check against their Martial Arts specifically.
Whether they studied it or not, the Martial Arts will be rolled in a vacuum. Aside of using double Taijutsu Knowledge Skill ranks as if she used two actions, she gains +Rank ASB on her Taijutsu Knowledge if she actually saw them use a Taijutsu-based skill, and suffers a -Rank penalty per each zone they are away from hers.
As per Total Physical Assessment, as long as Marisha profits from this Knowledge bonus, she may choose to also gain it against any one other Taijutsu-based skill that the character uses, before or after it's rolled. Marisha retains these bonuses only for the encounter, or only until her first encounter with that character, but forgets it afterwards. If she gets the opportunity to see them and spend the action, however, she may reuse this UA against the same character later.

- Marisha has four summons with UAs of their own, listed below:

Marisha's Summons:
Fatty
UA1: Marisha's Eye (Aspect)
The summoner's surgically transplanted eye. Shares the summoner's vision, and allows for enough communication to use the Support role actions at any distance. Additionally, Fatty cannot be flanked while in the same zone as the Summoner.
UA2: Veteran of Warfare (Aspect)
Fatty is an old cat. He got fat and he's pretty washed out, but he's served many masters, and understands the battlefield very well.
Grants the Strategist perk. Treat his ranks in Genjutsu Training as Strategy Training ranks, to the maximum of 4. Strategy Specialization cannot be purchased, and any further perks must be bought separately.
UA3: Doujutsu - Mabyogan (Gambit)
Left eye of the bake-neko. Carries a curse of misfortune.
Genjutsu-based. Costs 4 Chakra and 7 Grit to activate, +1 ASB to the Genjutsu roll.
This Gambit is a special Genjutsu, which can be completed with a single partial action. It can either be performed as a regular Genjutsu, or, being single-action, can be used as a defensive jutsu, also through the Support role, by rolling Genjutsu+Genjutsu Training+1 upfront. In either case, it must be performed as this Gambit, and cannot be used outside of it. If used offensively, it works automatically, like any Genjutsu, but if defense with it fails, it fails to work. If the defense is succesful, it proceeds to Grit Lock the caster, and work as any Genjutsu from there.
The Jutsu has two twists: Pinwheel Eyes, as befiting an eye-focus doujutsu technique, and a special Twist, Curse of the Cat, which cannot be used anywhere else.
Curse of the Cat: 1s rolled by the target do not provide double successes, save for Genjutsu Release rolls. The affected loses the Lucky trait if they have it, for the duration of the Genjutsu. Furthermore, the first roll that the target performs after being affected is rolled twice, and they are forced to pick the worse result, even if it is the Genjutsu Release roll. If the Jutsu has been used defensively, this effect is considered expended in order to divert the attack, but the rest of the Twist still applies.
WARP - Additionally, if the Genjutsu is not broken before combat is over, and the affected is not a cat, this Warp may be used. If it is, the affected treats all feline creatures they encounter as if they possessed Aura of Malice at rank equivalent to that of the Genjutsu's caster, for the next year of their life.

Panther
UA1: Shadoswirl (Mode)
A body made of shadow. A more competent shinobi could probably make great use of it, but since Panther is kind of a blockhead, he only uses it in melee combat.
Req, 12 Grit to activate, removes and becomes immune to Status Effects.
Every turn this Mode is active, Panther may gain a size category, which only impacts his Stability. Additionally, his Martial Arts becomes a ranged weapon, with range equal to the range of Shadow Element jutsus:
Shadow Element: +2 Damage. Your Shadow Element Jutsu have a base range that is limited to a total number of squares affected equal to 1/2 of your Ninjutsu Score. In a condition of intense shadows, up to Kage's discretion, this range is doubled. In conditions of weak shadows the range is halved. In total darkness your Jutsu cannot function.
UA2: Spilled Ink (Desperation)
Activates upon entering the Injured Pool. Grants 6 Grit.
Hedgehog-like explosion of shadowy tendrils, activated by the panicked Panther. Restores half the Injured pool of damage, and everyone within Taijutsu squares of him becomes Blinded, whether that includes the attacker or not.

Silver
UA1: Gale Step (Drive)
Req. 3 Successes, 4-1/2Rank=[3] Grit, Triggers on Attack or Counter using Wind Element.
A way of movement wherin the Wind Jutsu is used as vacuum to pull the user in or out. Moves the character up to 30 squares: either adjectant to someone hit by the Jutsu, or, if they are already adjectant, up to 30 squares away.
UA2: Rising Wind (Aspect)
If a Wind Element attack of Silver's is Dodged, it leaves behind a small whirlwind on all the squares that were occuppied by dodging shinobi. These whirlwinds remain for Rank rounds, render the square impassable, and count as characters for the purposes of Flanking. They cannot be attacked with regular weapons or martial arts, but an Elemental Jutsu aimed at or affecting the square automatically destroys them.

Beauty
UA1: Fashion Sense (Aspect)
The summon looks like a perfectly normal cat, and not a ninja animal. Additionally, it can change its appearance without the use of Bunshin, and thus will never be identified as one, even after changing the color and shape of fur, bodily characteristics, etc. However, it is not immune to being identified as a summon by abilities that would detect its chakra signature, and will be proven to be a summon if banished.


Osamu Ootaro
UA1:Pile Bunker (Gambit)
(Based on the Tonfa. Used as a Parry. Costs Rank (3) Chakra and 1+3X Grit. Adds +X ASB.)
A cross-counter with the chain tonfa (which is a signature item Tonfa with range to it), blasting the enemy away when their momentum is stopped. Counts as a tonfa Parry for all purposes, but always inflicts Knockback.
If Explosive Tags are available, they can be armed and delivered as a part of this parry, detonating at the end of the Knockback. The gambit can use up to Rank+X explosive tags in total. Their damage is concentrated in one block separate from the Tonfa damage, and for each tag after the first, the Burst increases by one.

UA2: A Nose for Danger (Aspect)
The character's unique high-tech facial fixture, which replaces his nose after suffering a deep wound in his youth, allows him to filter and separate smells. This is accurate and safe enough enough to let him use the Bloodhound trait while also profiting from wearing a Rebreather. Additionally, the character's eyes are protected by visor which can be removed as a free action, making sure he can't be blinded by physical means. He is still vulnerable to doujutsu, flashbangs, and anything of the sort.
While the equipment is tracking a target, the Savior trait applies to Vanguard Stance uses against that target as if the character was intercepting. This totals to +2xRank ASB to a defensive action alongside Lockdown. The Savior bonus still only applies to the Vanguard's side, they and the Ward still add up and split their successes in half like normal.


= Other People's PCs =
Niten Kyoko
UA 1 - Art of War (Aspect): As Specialist X (Tactician), but with no Grit/turn penalty.
UA 2 - Super Training Regimen (Downtime): A Downtime spent on this action increases the Bond level of all participants by 1 for the duration of the next mission. If this would increase a bond beyond Eternal Bond, all previous Bond bonuses are doubled.
UA 3 - Eye of the Mind (Style, 9 Grit): The amount of partial actions a Knowledge Check takes is reduced by one, and all Knowledge Bonuses provide an extra +3 ASB. Additionally, whenever Kyoko is attacked, she may pay an amount of Grit equal to her opponent's rank to immediately attempt a Knowledge Check before performing a defense.
UA 4 - VOID (Mode, 16 Grit): Kyoko clears her mind of thoughts irrelevant to the fight at hand. She gains a Knowledge Bonus against all Skills, even those that have not yet been used in the fight. This ability ignores effects that would otherwise forbid one to benefit from a Knowledge Check. Activating this Mode reduces Kyoko's Nindo to 0.


Arista
UA1: Lá Ballet Grimaldi - +2 to Puppetry on a Successful use of Puppetry Skill.
UA2:  The great Dance Troupe: Sword hunter now works if allies are attacked within 10 squares of the puppet, Lá Ballet Grimaldi now works passivly in additon to also working upon sucessful puppetry skill use.

Arista EX
Macabre Circus: First Act (UA1, Style (Puppet Attack), Requires 6 Grit) - Perform a Feint action for free before resolving the attack. If the Puppet has the Deceptive Trick, perform 2 Feints before resolving he attack.

Macabre Circus: Second Act (UA2, Style (Puppet Attack), Requires 9 Grit) - Instead of performing a Feint, may now perform an Intimidate action for free before resolving the attack, or may forego the attack entirely to perform a Diplomacy action with the puppet as its  source (and therefore affecting the user as well).  If the Puppet has the Deceptive Trick, you may perform both a Feint and an Intimidate action before resolving the attack.

Macabre Circus: Third Act (UA3, Style (Puppet Attack), Requires 12 Grit) - Every successful social action also applies an instance of Poisoned. Additionally, the Puppet may perform Killing Intent as a free action, but only once per round for all Puppets on the field. A successful Killing Intent also applies an instance of Poisoned.

Macabre Circus: Acta Est Fabula (UA4, Gambit, Costs 5+3X Grit) - As a Full-Round Action, roll Ninjutsu+Puppetry+X ASB against all targets in the same zone. If the Macabre Circus has reached the Third Act, Dodge cannot be used as a defense; if it has not, lose a point of Nindo. On a base success, deal Ninjutsu+Puppetry damage and apply Poisoned upgraded by the Insidious Poison and Sickening Poison tricks even if your puppets do not actually possess them. For each additional success over the target, deal Ninjutsu+Puppetry damage, and for every 3 successes over the target, apply an additional instance of the upgraded Poisoned condition.This Gambit counts as a Puppetry Attack, meaning any applicable styles are triggered before the attack roll takes place for each target. For each successful social test triggered as a result of those styles, add 2 successes to your roll; this may result in the Gambit succeeding even if its actual roll has failed.


Aburame Shinji
Inheritance (UA1, Aspect) - Shinji's Kikaichu originally belonged to his mother, but were transplanted to him shortly before her death; though it was a grueling experience, Shinji managed to incorporate the foreign breed it into his own. His Swarms gain an additional Evolution.
March of the Dark Armies (Style (Living Hive Attack), Requires 9 Grit) - May move the target and any and all swarms up to a number of squares equal to the difference between the Attack and Defend rolls, or 1, if the Attack has failed or has been blocked.


Sakurai Eiha
UA1: Pervading Malevolence (Aspect) - The Trait Aura of Malice continues to function normally while using Stealth, inducing an eerie sense of tension the victim cannot fully comprehend even if they have not seen the User yet.
UA2: Flowing Steel Style (Aspect) - The user employs a fighting style that synergizes Kenjutsu and Water Ninjutsu into one, striking and weaving like flowing water. Eiha is adept at mixing Water-style Ninjutsu in her Kenjutsu, able to form one-handed ninjutsu seals with one hand while holding a weapon in the other hand. Additionally, this style of combat is particularly swift and allows the user to form R/3 additional hand signs per partial action.
UA3: Noxious Blossom (Aspect) – A fighting style that synergizes Water Ninjutsu with the poison of Snakes. Eiha’s Water element Jutsu may also apply Snake Element, with a Rank up to the User’s and determined at the time of Declaring actions, at no additional cost. Noxious Mist is considered to only inflict one Stack per turn.

Eiha's Snakes:
Isamu
UA1 - Potent Neurotoxin (Aspect): Isamu’s venom is particularly effective at disrupting the prey’s nervous system and making them feel sluggish and drowsy. Any target affected by Isamu’s venom has their Speed Rank reduced by 1.
UA2 - Blood Hunt (Aspect): Anyone bitten by Isamu is automatically detected if they re-enter Stealth. Additionally, for each instance of Poisoned inflicted, Isamu gains a +1 ASB to subsequent hits.

Kiyou
UA1 - Stimulant Enzyme (Aspect): Kiyou’s medical technique involves the use of a powerful biochemical substance that supercharges the body’s natural healing capabilities. It has the side-effect of giving the sensation of overflowing energy, granting the recipient the Emboldened effect for an amount of hours equal to the Chakra used.
UA2 - Hallucinogenic Blood (): Kiyou’s blood has potent hallucinogenic characteristics, twisting the senses into a mad carnival easily mistaken for Genjutsu, but not. Anyone who successfully inflicts a melee attack that draws blood against Kiyou automatically suffers from Nauseated and Grit Lock until either cured by Medical Ninjutsu or R turns have elapsed.


Kaguya Keisuke
UA1: (Aspect, Requires 0 Grit) Comfortable Battle:
Effect: You are emboldened and immune to fear effects, whenever you would be subject to a fear effect you gain an instance of Focus up to the normal limit..
UA2: (Aspect, Requires 0 Grit) Speed of Sound:
Effect: Sound Based jutsu may now ignore up to your Rank in allies within the Area of Effect. The SR granted by the Sound Element Affinity Trait now conveys the full benefits of a Speed Rank and you may add half your Intuition to your Ranks in Speed Familiarity.
UA3: (Aspect, Requires 0 Grit) Thy Dreadful Symmetry:.
Effect: Once you have removed the “Hated” Road To Ninja option you replace it with King of the Mountain and replace Lone Wolf with “Holy Diver”.
[King of the Mountain]: You’ve always been competitive and you’ve learned to stake your claim and defend it fiercely. As you grow older you’ve harnessed that same stubbornness in defense of your allies as well. Double the area you cover with an Intercept Action. You may treat the Intercept Action and its attack as either an Attack or Defend action if either would be more beneficial to you.

Haitora, the Bound Tiger
UA1:  Aspect: Eye of the Tiger:
In order to properly pursue one’s desires, one must first safeguard against competition. Through the esoteric arts pioneered by their ancestors some Tigers have found a ritual to form an exclusive contract with Summoners that have signed with their clan. This ritual prevents the Summoner from summoning anyone but the Tiger they formed a ritual with, however this is not without benefit. The ritual master seals themselves within a chakra tattoo anchored to the Summoner’s Gate of Opening, allowing the two of them to communicate through thought alone and ensuring the Ritual master is on hand for any emergencies or unexpected developments. For the Tiger, they are able to passively assimilate both the Summoner’s chakra and natural chakra in an even stream greatly speeding their growth and development while residing within the seal. With further rituals and exposure to the Summoner it is even possible for the two to assimilate aspects of one another.
Effect: So long as this Tiger is in a menagerie the Summoner replaces their Summon Contract Trait with Friendbeast (Alternative): The contractor only gets a single summon. However, that summon is the same rank as him and is otherwise created like a full character, including Road to Ninja. The character gains a Chakra Tattoo (Summoning Jutsu) for free, and this Summon resides within the seal. If they are defeated, they return to the seal and recuperate.
UA2:  Aspect: Materia and Anima:  Place Holder
Effect: The Tiger may affect the world from within the Eye of the Tiger. So long as the Summoner unlocks his gate of opening with a specialized use of the Summon Jutsu the Tiger may influence the scene even without leaving the seal. His actions however are limited somewhat in that he is not physically present. Thus he can’t be targeted and can’t perform any physical based actions such as Taijutsu. He can however act through the medium of the Host. This allows him to perform Fuuinjutsu and any applicable Nin or Genjutsu he may have. However since he is using the host to facilitate these actions he only has one partial action per round. He can further assist his host by using this partial action to perform a non physical action on behalf of his host, such as using certain role abilities, making Knowledge Checks or gaining Focus, etc. He is considered in Formation with his host and may join into formation with the hosts Allies.
UA3:  Aspect: Anima Mundi: Place Holder
Effect: The symbiosis between Ritual Master and host evolves yet further. While in the Eye of the Tiger the Ritual Master acts as a Psuedo Tailed beast, gathering natural chakra and helping to improve his host. Both the Summoner and Summon gain the ability to wield Natural Chakra. The Summon gains the KKG:DBP Trait and increases his Taijutsu to the same rating as the summoner. The Summoner gains an immature variant of Sage Mode.


Bansen
Jisetsudan Ampules (UA1, Downtime) - A fast-acting stimulant invented by one of Kirigakure's greatest chemists. Not commonly used due to extreme side-effects and short duration. Bansen was taught the secret of its creation after he was deemed to possess the proper qualities. Even if the proper ingredients and tools are not at hand, Bansen has sufficient knowledge to improvise a nearly identical concoction out of common herbs.
Spend a Downtime action to create 2 doses. Partial action to take a dose, effects activate at the start of the next round. X is equal to Rank of creator. Gain +1 Grit/Turn, +X ASB to all actions for X Rounds. Lose all Grit and half of current injury pool's max at the end of the duration.

UA2 (UA2, Gambit, Costs 3+3X Grit) - A chemical grenade invented by one of Kirigakure's greatest chemists. The bomb riddles targets with poisonous metallic shrapnel that dissolves shortly after detonation, entering the bloodstream. The toxic vapors linger in the air for a brief time.
This is an attack with a Range of 20 and Burst X. Roll Ninjutsu+Shinobi Tools Training+X, dealing a base damage of Ninjutsu+Shinobi Tools Training. Each 2 additional successes over the target's defense roll inflict Ninjutsu+Shinobi Tools Training damage. Anyone hit is inflicted with an instance of Poisoned and [Corroded]. Leaves behind a Burst X toxic cloud that lasts for 3 Rounds. Anyone entering the area for the first time in a Round or ending their turn in the area suffers an instance of Poisoned.
[Corroded] - Causes Grit Lock and prevents healing from any source. This may not be removed with Grit.

Impurity Exorcism (UA3, Mode, Costs 16 Grit) - Unable to improve upon the base formula of his master's stimulant, Bansen searched for progress within himself, developing a means to manipulate the chemical's effects using various combinations of handseals and chakra, turning the ordinarily straightforward Jisetsudan Ampules into a highly versatile concoction, but only for himself.
This Mode may only be activated at any time while under the effects of Jisetsudan Ampules as a free action, which extends their duration by Rank rounds. This Mode ends when the effects of Jisetsudan Ampules run out. Additionally, when this Mode is activated and for as long as it remains active, the user may choose to apply one of the following effects:
-Heal Rank*10 Injury per Round.
-Recover 2 Chakra per Round.
-Spew forth the Kusanagi, a custom Item of Legend Chokuto (Bound, Indestructible, Personalized x2, Increased Range x4 12/12). Activating this immediately ends the Mode and the effects of Jisetsudan Ampules. This may be activated only once per battle, and the sword returns into its owner at the end of the battle.
-Turn one's blood into poison, inflicting Poisoned in a Burst 1 area centered on the user upon taking damage.
-Gain +3 ASB to all Knowledge Checks, +2 to Knowledge Bonus and reduce the duration of Knowledge Checks by 1 partial.

Shojou:
Drunken Fireworks (UA1, Aspect) - Shoujou's Shadow Clones set alight all the alcohol on their person just as they're about to die. When destroyed, the Shadow Clone explodes in a Burst 1 Area and deals an instance of the "Fire!" Status Effect to anyone within the area. This ability does not have to be activated.
Good Sake (UA2, Downtime) - As a Downtime action Shoujou may create 2 bottles of a unique healing brew. This is a unique item that takes a Partial Action to consume. When consumed, the drinker restores half of their current Health Pool, removes one Status Effect of their choice, gains 3 Grit, and gains the "Pleasant Buzz" Status Effect.
"Pleasant Buzz" - An enemy may not gain a Knowledge Bonus against a target with this Status Effect, and any ongoing Knowledge Bonuses cease to function for the duration of the effect.


Shun Koizumi
UA1: Invisible Assassin (Style (Yumi Attack or Snipe), 6 Grit) - Attacking from stealth does not break stealth if your target is not in Engaged Zone with you.

UA2: Unerring Aim (Gambit, Spends 3+3X Grit) - As a full-turn action, Roll Taijutsu + Yumi Training + X against a single target. This attack counts as a Snipe maneuver performed with a number of Aim actions equal to Rank + X; these aim actions affect the range of the attack as normal, but are not subject to the usual restrictions of only 20 additional squares. For each success over the target, deal an extra Taijutsu + Yumi Training damage. This costs 3 chakra to perform.


Jogan Sansei
UA1: Hyperactive Metabolism (Aspect): Regenerates (5 * Rank) Injury each round. If a limb or other bodypart is severed or lost it can be reattached, or regrown if given time.

UA2: Cloud of Destruction (Mode) (12 grit required to activate): Remove all status effects placed by an enemy. Become immune to hostile status effects. The Sansei hyperactive metabolism goes into total overdrive, causing a cloud (Rank = Burst size) of acidic steam to form around you. This aura deals 10 + Rank damage, and melts mundane armor, decreasing their DR by your Ninjutsu attribute each round. The damage is applied to any entering the cloud the first time during a round, and is applied again if they remain in it at the end of their turn. As a partial action (3 grit and a free action) you may leave a cloud behind you that lasts a number of rounds equal to your rank. The clouds cause Obscured Sight to all other than you, including those with Chakra Sight. You cannot grit out of this Obscured Sight, it ends on leaving the cloud automatically. While the cloud is active, you add the cloud’s damage to DR against ranged attacks or jutsus. An attack with a Wind element jutsu causes clouds to disperse within the jutsu’s area of effect, though the cloud around your body is immune to this effect.

UA3: Stormcloud of Vengeance (Aspect): You have learned how to generate smaller jets of the Cloud at will, and have mastered it's use in unexpected ways. You may generate a Cloud for 3 grit or 2 chakra without being in Cloud of Destruction Mode, but it remains where it was generated. You may replace any destroyed Lightning Clones while standing in a cloud as a free action for 0 chakra (1/clone). Finally, any Parry or Counter actions made within the cloud count as Channeling Elemental Chakra.


Ayame Rikimaru "Fox:
Aid Field: (UA1, Aspect) - When using Medical Jutsu, may pay 2 extra Chakra to have the healing occupy a Burst X area where X is equal to Rank.

Bottled Unresolve(UA2, Downtime): Spend a Downtime action to create two special Poison Vials that also apply one of the following Genjutsu Twists as a Warp in addition to the Poisoned condition, chosen upon creation: Hallucinations, Betrayal, Sleeper's Paralysis, Disfigure.

Nothing Personal (UA3, Gambit, Costs 4+3X Grit) - A high speed combination attack wherein Ayame flings senbon at someone and then quickly moves behind them to attack with Chakra Scalpels. This Gambit is a Full-Turn Action that targets a single enemy within the same zone. Two simultaneous attacks (Ninjutsu+Senbon Training+X and Chakra Control+Medical Training+X) are made and must be Defended against in the same instant. Both attacks count as being 3 Speed Ranks higher than normal. The same Defend action cannot be used against both attacks.




= NPCs =
I'll preface it with saying that these don't exactly follow the rules of UAmaking, and leave a lot of points unspent, since that was never the point. Instead they were meant to create interesting/fun fights.
Some characters didn't have UAs at all, like the sand duo, because I deemed them scary enough without them (lol yumi and Set Piece)


Raiko Boshi
UA1 Drive: Renka
(Requires 3 Successes, costs 3 Grit, usable off Attack and Counter)
A well practiced roundhouse kick made towards a slashed enemy, meant to further upset the wound. Adds Knockback on top of the hit. If the target is already knocked back, the distance is doubled.

UA2 Style: Hakaishin
Requires 9 Grit in the pool, using an attempt to Trip as a trigger.
A low stance, focused on sweeping low kicks, using the blade as a counterweight.
While in this Style, a landed Martial Arts Attack will add +4 ASB to the next attack with a Chokuto against the target, and makes Renka cost no Grit on that particular attack.
(Penalty) While in this style, user cannot attack enemies on the squares above them, unless they choose to leave the Style as a free action.

- Rules of the game are simple here. Raiko got a ton of grit from Arrogant, Iron Resolve and what not. Letting yourself hit with the non-threatening attack sets up the deadly one.


Kazuma Huuma
UA1: Juggling Pattern - Aspect
When using Projectile Barrage, character may also perform two Seals. This does not actually allow them to use a two-seal Jutsu, but they may be seals of a Jutsu they will finish next turn.

UA2: - Art of the Autumn Leaves - Aspect
Grants +1 Ninjutsu, bypassing the cap granted by the rank. Allows the user to channel Fire elemental chakra into a weapon despite not having 7 ranks of Fire Elemental Training. This includes ranged weapons, such as Huuma Shuriken.

- Would have been even scarier earlier on, esp. if he had somebody to show him where you are. Was on a chakra budget.
- UA2 would have to do something else now, since he can channel element at Chuunin now. Channeling into a throw weapon is fun, shame it didn't come up. Nerfs to Projectile Barrage would make him not as scary, but Huuma Shuriken offsets it, so it still makes sense.


Mumei
UA1: Classic Espionage (Aspect)
Instead of focusing on martial prowess, the character focuses on becoming a proper Ninja, playing up that they cannot be detected by ninja means. As such, Chakra Coils Disorder uncaps Genjutsu rather than Taijutsu.

UA2: Tender Touch (Style)
Requires 9 Grit to activate. Activates with Feint.
Against an enemy suffering from ASP inflicted by Feint, the first Bleeding condition inflicted by Nekote in an attack instead becomes Deep Bleeding.

- The best thing I got for balancing Chakra Coils against PCs. Ironically was really dangerous to the PCs because of her high Intuition.


Kamiko Kame
UA1: Kame Bunshin (Aspect)
Grants the character Elemental Clone technique, despite the fact that they do not have an Elemental Affinity trait. In cases where it would matter, Dead Hair Pulse Training is treated as the element in question. The 'element' has no damage or effects, the clones simply revert into a lump of hair when defeated.

UA 2: Sapping Locks (Style)
Req. 9 Grit, Triggered by expanding the Cradle.
An inverted flux that saps chakra of the enemies who touch the hair for a prolonged time. If enemies start their turn on the Cradle, they lose 1 point of Chakra. They also lose 1 Chakra if they start their turn Constricted. If both is the case, they lose 3 instead. The Cradle expands by Burst equal to the amount of Chakra lost every time.

- Would have been probably much scarier if you met her before grand finals, this way she was on a chakra budget.


Uchiha Bajinmaru

Character may add an additional Twist to all Genjutsu made.

UA2: Flames of the Mind (Aspect)

UA2: Black Blood Pact (Desperation)

If their next summon is of their highest rank, this may summon a creature that is not in their menagerie at all. The GM gets to decide what exactly the summoner gets.

- I'm pretty sure Desperations are not supposed to look like this by now. Turns out Desperations are really strong even if they don't do anything, though, since it gave her enough Grit to anger out of the Iron Wire.

UA2: Forgotten Hiden (Aspect)
Grants the user the perks and traits of Sharks aside of Aquatic, despite not being contracted to them.

When this eye is selected, it allows the character to use the Blood Razor Jutsu [Projectile / Rng:25 / Spd: One Partial Action / Dmg: Special] immediately as a free action, and subsequently as a partial action while the eye remains opened. It uses Ninjutsu attribute and any elemental skill for for the attack roll. They can make it deal any amount of damage up to the total amount of Injury the user has lost during the encounter.

When this eye is selected, the character may make a Chakra Control based attack on anyone within their zone, using any social skill as its skill. The target must either dodge this attack, or defend in such a way that they leave the line of sight, the zone, or obscure themselves.

This attack can be used again any number of times while the eye is active, as a Partial Action.
5) Shichougan: The Claiming Eye. An Eye which moves matter. When this eye is selected, the character may assault their opponents with small debris within their range of sight.

Allows the character to reform their body in a different body of water than they fell apart in. Dispersing the body does not turn it into water, but instead leaves it dead. A new body is created in the process.
If there is no body of water nearby, the character's spirit may travel at regular travel speed, until it finds a body of drinkable water.

UA3: Astral Scar (Drive)

UA1: The Hard Way (Aspect)
Allows the use of Nunchaku without Taijutsu Mastery, on the condition that Keiko inflicts the weapon's base damage (including Fist of- perks) to herself at the end of every round she used Nunchaku in. This damage bypasses any DR she may have.

UA2: Line (Gambit)
Costs 4+3X Grit. Requires four successes. Based on Feint.
This is a special Feint action, in which Kenji turns his entire body into water and washes over the enemy, tying them with a fishing line under their clothes. It may generally only be used once every encounter, or whenever the line is prepared again.
The fishing line counts as an Iron Wire, but the Immobilized condition only lasts until the start of Kenji's next turn. If the feint fails, Kenji is now holding the line, which proceeds to act as if he was holding an Iron Wire, and keeps its properties. He needs an empty hand to keep it after the technique, but not to use the Gambit at all.

UA3: Sinker (Drive)
Requires four successes over the opponent, and four Grit. Can be used as a follow-up to a successful Deception check, including a Feint.
When this Drive is activated, Kenji may immediately perform the Nerve Strike maneuver once, at no cost.

(UA4: ????)


Kaguya Sabisuke, the Cool Uncle
UA1: Calcium Infusion (Aspect)
A technique even Keisuke would know of. Sabisuke is able to inject enemies with overcharged Kaguya cells, which essentially act as a slimy tumor, and form into a small chunk within the body. It converts the target's tissue into bones, and tears them apart from the inside.
Since the solution must be delivered through a needle, it requires a Stunned or Immobilized target, and a landed melee attack roll with Martial Arts, or Dead Bone Pulse. When injecting, Sabisuke may choose a place of delivery, in any limb, or the torso.
The injection takes a full round to form up. The next round after being injected, the target starts suffering from Insidious Poison. It can only be removed by cutting away the entire tumor. Doing so inflicts Disabled on the bodypart in question, as well as Deep Bleeding on the target if it's not done with Chakra Scalpels. The Disabled condition lasts until the character's next Downtime. They need not Rest to recover from it, however.

UA2: The Crawling Dead (Style)
Requires 9 Grit to Activate. Activates with Puppetry.
While this Style is active, all of Sabisuke's Puppets are moved at the end of every round. This does not provoke any effects which becoming adjectant would, whether allied or enemy.

UA3: Rigid Paradise (Aspect)
A shortcut to Human Puppetry. Rather than spend the time to conserve the target's soul, and rebuild the body as a lasting puppet from expensive materials, Sabisuke may inject any dead body with his cells, turning it into a single use puppet.
Bodies may become either the equivalent of Nailhead or the Boomer, except that
- Nailheads may use Digital Shrapnel in place of Projectile Barrage, except that Dead Bone Pulse is replaced with Puppetry. After the third time they use Digital Shrapnel, they are destroyed.
- Boomers gain +1 Burst every time they use Burst of Spines, and Sabisuke may have them not use it, even if they are not being controlled at the moment. After the third time they use it, they are destroyed.

UA4: Manji of the Underworld (Desperation)
Triggered upon entering the Injured pool. Grants 12 Grit when triggered.
A spiral pattern of thin bones spreading out explosively from Sabisuke's body, forming a stitch. When this Desperation is triggered, Sabisuke may immediately use Burst of Spines. Even if there is no target, he may then use it again, except this time it gains Burst +2. Per every time it is reactivated, it gains an additional Burst +2.

(Puppet) UA5:The Dragon is both Hardy and Cruel.
Additionally, it is permanently in the Vanguard Stance. Sabisuke must pay the Chakra cost of Shunshin to make it available.

Chakra Boost doubles this damage.-Speed: Increases their movement speed by 6. Chakra boost additionally gives them one Speed Rank.-Endurance: Gives them 5 Mundane DR. Chakra Boost gives them 1/4th of their injury as a temporary injury pool. The damage incurred to them from this technique blows straight through this pool.
