Professor of Ninjutsu

**Professor of Ninjutsu**

Some ninja hold strongly to the ancient words of wisdom "In learning you will teach and in teaching you will learn". These ninja strive for knowledge so that they may pass it on to the future generations of ninja.

**Jutsu theory**: At 5th level a Professor of Ninjutsu
understands enough of the fundamental details of Ninjutsu that they can mentor
an apprentice and help them learn jutsu that they themselves don't even know.

**Birth of New jutsu**: At 5th level the Professor of
Ninjutsu 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 Professor of Ninjutsu
learns that sacrifice of one's own time and research can pay great dividends.
The Professor of Ninjutsu may now spend their own technique or apprentice
points on behalf of an apprentice to teach them a technique.

**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 Professor of Ninjutsu.

**Ninja relic scroll**: At 18th level a Professor of Ninjutsu
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 Professor of
Ninjutsu to leave behind their techniques forever. The process of creating a
relic scroll is exhaustive but well worth the price. Firstly the Professor of
Ninjutsu 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 Professor of Ninjutsu 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 Professor of Ninjutsu
surpasses their ordinary limits, they open their mind to the lessons of the
world around them. The Professor of Ninjutsu 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.
