Jutsu Professor

A jutsu professor understands the
ancient words of wisdom "In learning you will teach and in teaching you
will learn". They amass knowledge not for power, or to hoard it, but to
pass it on and make the future generations wiser and stronger, to leave the
world a more enlightened place.

**Jutsu theory**: At 5th level a Jutsu Professor
understands enough of the fundamental details of Ninjutsu that they can mentor
an apprentice, using the apprenticeship system, and help them learn jutsu that
they themselves don't even know. This also allows them to mentor someone regardless of their level.

**Birth of New jutsu**: At 5th level the Jutsu Professor
takes their first step towards inventing a wholly new jutsu. They may devise a
new Jutsu with the help of their GM, and they calculate the points and time
needed as if they were receiving training. This New Jutsu may be of E or D rank
(meaning may have a technique point cost of 5 or less) and they do not have to
pay the points required to learn it. If the player or GM does not wish to
create a new jutsu they may instead learn an existing jutsu of the same rank for
which they meet the prerequisites. Note they cannot chose a Technique with this
ability.

They
gain another Jutsu at 11th level which may be up to B or C rank in difficulty
(Costing 12 points or less)

They
learn a third Jutsu at17th level which may be of A rank or less. (Costing 16
points or less)

This
ability replaces Versatile attacks and Versatile assault.

**Legacy of learning**: At 10th level a Jutsu Professor
learns that sacrifice of one's own time and research can pay great dividends.
The Jutsu Professor may now spend their own technique or apprentice points on
behalf of an apprentice to teach them a technique. Additionally, as long as the mentor spends at least 1 of their own points their apprentice learns the jutsu 1 step faster than normal.

**Revered insight**: At 11th level the respect owed to a
true genius of ninjutsu cannot be denied. If the campaign uses the requisition
system they gain +2 to their reputation, if they use the standard wealth system
they instead receive a +10% increase to any payment for completing a mission as
their services come at a higher price. Either way the ninja receives a +4 bonus
on charisma based skill checks with anyone who has heard of them. Meanwhile
other creatures gain a +4 on knowledge checks about the Jutsu Professor.

**Ninja relic scroll**: At 18th level a Jutsu Professor
learns to create Ninja Relic scrolls. A jutsu learned and forgotten may as well
have never been learned. This driving philosophy is what pushes a Jutsu
Professor to leave behind their techniques forever. The process of creating a
relic scroll is exhaustive but well worth the price. Firstly the Jutsu
Professor must of course know the jutsu or technique that is meant to be
recorded. Secondly this process requires the expenditure of apprentice or
technique points equal to the technique point cost of the jutsu. Third, the
recording process takes the same amount of time as learning the  jutsu or technique in question and requires
access to blank scrolls and writing tools. The special materials required to
record the jutsu are far from cheap, the materials cost half the price that
would normally be paid when purchasing access to a ninja relic scroll.
Generally a Jutsu Professor finances the creation of these scrolls through
requisitioning funding from their ninja village, those without access to such
funds will instead have to pay out of pocket. But once the process is finished
they will have a scroll capable of teaching any number of ninja the technique
inscribed on it without the person studying it expending points. Relic scrolls
are explained in full in the equipment section.

**Legacy of Shinobi**: At 20th level a Jutsu Professor
surpasses their ordinary limits, they open their mind to the lessons of the
world around them. The Jutsu Professor no longer needs to pay technique points
to learn new jutsu. They need only the training time required. If they choose
to spend technique points anyways they reduce the time taken to learn a jutsu
by 1 step for each time they pay the jutsu's full technique cost. If this would
bring the time taken to less than e rank difficulty they can learn the jutsu as
a free action. They may also still use their technique and apprentice points to
grant jutsu's to others or create ninja relic scrolls. This ability replaces
god of shinobi.
