Shiva Clan

== Template Statistics ==
Str +6, Con +4, Dex +2, Int -4, Wis -4
Large Size: The members of this clan are all over 8 feet tall, having the benefits and drawbacks of the large size (-1 to AC, +4 grapple, -4 to hide). They also have a natural reach of 10 feet, and are considered to be occupying a 10 foot space, as opposed to the 5 ft. of a medium sized character. 
Genetic Memory: The Shiva Clan possesses a unique ability, allowing for them to pass on part of their gained combat experience to the next generation, thus allowing a Shiva Clan member to gain a level every 6 sessions of RP as opposed to 8.
Giant Ape Form: A skill unique to this clan, they are able to flood their body with chakra and transform into a 50 foot tall giant ape form. This transformation allows the user to boost their physical stats to their limit, but sacrifices the finger dexterity required to perform jutsu that need finger seals to use. Upon activating this form, the user is able to keep their mental senses for a number of rounds equal to the highest level of jutsu they can use. Past that limit, each round they maintain this form, they will gain a cumulative 5% chance to go berserk and attack random targets around them. In order to regain full control, they must remain a number of rounds in human form equal to the rounds they spent in ape form. 
This new ape form comes with massive physical increases. The character's size changes to Gargantuan (-4 size modifier, +12 grapple, 20 ft space, 20 ft reach natural). While in this form, the Shiva gains double physically stats (Str, Dex, Con). This bonus is applied to their stats before any jutsu or spells, but item effects are counted.
