Okay, so why is it a Charisma skill when its generally something that requires high intelligence? I just need to ask cause the genjutsu master in my group is generally good looking moron... Is it to balance the gameplay or something? Like make charisma useful for something? Neutral

Yes, it is. Also because you're essentially selling something that doesn't exist.

It's a balance reason, definitely. But, I like to see Charisma as better representing a character's creativity. By that, I mean that a charismatic person could better describe to you a scene of a play than his non-charismatic friend and I think that could also apply to how he would feed illusions to a person.

Plus, one doesn't have to be smart to be creative. Just look at Naruto.

You're trying to lie to somebodies brain with nothing but the power of your own imagination. That's Charisma if I've ever seen it.

I guess I just want everything to be based on INT since its the god-tier stat.
Well thanks, good answers.

Charisma represents your force of personality, not just your looks or how well you speak. A person with high charisma can be an average looking person but with a very strong presence.

If you are hiding and you perform a technique that only requires hand seals, do you get detected by any way? And people who are unaware, do they get lowered saves against stuff too?

Assuming no one beats their hide check? No

Nope, full fort/reflex/will regardless of knwoing you are being attacked prior

I personally would have made each jutsu type MAD, but everyone seems to push SAD so...

Well, a nin user can get by with a low int easier than a genjutsu user can with a low charisma. A high dex/con character would have plenty of chakra and good accuracy with the to-hit jutsu. Charisma is a type of intelligence (even if its not the stat named "intelligence")

Cowering: Character takes a -2 penalty to Reflex saves.
Dazed: Character cannot use evasion or improved evasion.
Disabled: Character takes a -1 penalty to Reflex saves.
Flat-footed: Character takes a -4 penalty to Reflex saves (Uncanny Dodge negates).
Grappled: Character takes a -2 penalty to Reflex saves.
Panicked: Character takes a -1 penalty to Reflex saves.
Staggered: Character takes a -2 penalty to Reflex saves and cannot use evasion; improved evasion works as evasion.
Stunned: Character takes a -2 penalty to Reflex saves and cannot use evasion or improved evasion.

You are corectsir, BUT uncanny dodge negates, and you can still benefit from evasion or improved evasion
