Moujuu Aishou creatures

[TheTrulyAvaricious]

Greetings,
One of my players is interested in playing the Moujuu Aishou bloodline, but wants to play with a bear. I looked through the main file, but noted it wasn't listed under one of the creatures it allowed to start with. Is there a reason for this, and could a bear be used? If so, would I just gen it as per the progression table?
Best Regards,
TheTrulyAvaricious

Greetings,
Thanks for the reply. I have found the bear statblock, it's more can it be used with the Moujuu Aishou bloodline?

Animal Companion: The character begins play with an animal companion selected from
the following list: Ape, Boar, Cheetah, Dog, Hawk, Hyena, Owl, Tiger, Wolf (see
Creatures and NPCs chapter for more details).

That's what it says in the main file anyway. Could a bear be used though?
Best Regards,

On a further note, some creatures have the bracketed text (level+/- x) Can anybody care to explain this one to me? Thanks again.

Ah, right. Hmm, that could be problematic.

Would a sufficient house rule be that the animal companion starts at level 1 as the character, but doesn't gain levels under the number expressed parenthetically has been passed?
E.G.
A bear levels as (level-2), in comparison to the Player. So, it wouldn't gain it's second level until the character is ECL4?

It could be done, similar to allowing people to pick templates/bloodlines at first level, thus not capping the starting ECL. So long as your GM could properly handle you having a stronger starting companion.

Greetings,
Well, seeing as I'm the GM, it's my call. I just wanted some suggestions as to how to go about it. Well, I don't see a problem. It'll be a hard lil bastard, then it'll level out in time. Got a Uchiha, a Hyouma and an unknown atm. Not like everyone else ISN'T getting ECL adjustments.
Thanks again.
Best Regards,

I was not really sure where to post this, but i could not find a thread with anything else similar. I want to play a Elementalist/ Ninja Scout with the Moujuu Aishou feat but the thing is i want my wolf to be able to take an elemental form. Is there a way to do this either through feats, classes, or jutsus that i'm just not seeing? Can someone help me or put me in the right spot?

[black_fox9653]

There is no way of doing what you want with the base rules. If you want that it will have to be homebrewed.

Really not even through a jutsu like Kiba does with Akimaru? That sounds odd ok just got to create one.

[Zerrkhar]

Ok this is my first attempt at jutsu creation. Remember the gose along with my character concept in my passed post

Juujin Ryuu: Raiton Kaeru no Jutsu – (Beastman Style: Secret Technique - Lightning Conversion Technique.)
Ninjutsu (Requires Moujuu Aishou (f), Elemental Affinity (Raiton), and any 5 Juujin Ryuu techniques)
Rank: 13 (S-Class); Learn DC: 24, 6 success; Perform requirements: 12 ranks (DC
26); Time: 2 full-round action; Components: C, H; Range: Close (10 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels);
Target: One animal companion; Duration: 4 round/level (D); Saving Throws: Fortitude negates (harmless); Chakra Resistance: Yes (see txt); Chakra Cost: 35.
This powerful technique is one of the secret techniques of the Beastman style. The user’s
animal companion gains raiton elemental subtype (companion gains Immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning and electricity effects. They are not subject to critical hits, flanking, or the effects of massive damage while the companion is in this form.) The companion is also granted a +4 bonus to Strength and +8 bonus to Dexterity. The companion's natural attack deals electricity damage 4d6 plus natural attacks, plus strangth modifier as applies. The companion is also subject to the effects of using Chidori Senbon (Thousand-Bird Needles), and deal damage as if the jutsu was preformed by the companion. Only when a melee attack is made against the companion. If the technique fails, the creature is reverted back to its original form without harm. After this technique is used, the companion will be fatigued for the rest of the encounter. The companion cannot benefit from this technique while fatigue, the effects will fail.


Please let me know what you think. This can be modified to fit any of the chakra affinities.

[black_fox9653]

Well the first think I think is that this is in the wrong section.

As for the technique itself, apart from the fact thay its a sloppy copy and past from Juujin Ryuu: Ougi - Shinjuuriki (Beastman Style: Secret Technique - True Animal Power);
You didnt update most of the Learn and Perform requirements for the change in rank and class, and its durations should have definately been one thing that you should not have changed.
The whole Chidori Senbon bit doesnt even make sense as to why it basically uses a completely different technique everytime it is hit with a melee attack.
Its obvious that you just changed the original stats from the copied technique to just suit your purposes, either ignoring or not understanding that those original stat chanages actually came from it changing its size and not granted by the technique itself.
The damage granted to its normal attack is far too high, that damage is equivalent to a colossal sized elemental.
And lastly the line about if the technique fails the animal reverts is redundant, if the technique fails then nothing would happen to the animal period.

The technnique...is frankly a mess.

Remove the Chidori Senbon nonsense and reword the extra damage as follows: "The animal's natural attacks deal an additional 4d6 damage, and all melee damage dealt by it counts as energy damage of the appropriate type."

As far as fluff: "Using a powerful transformation technique, the user's animal companion takes on some of the qualities of an elemental spirit."

You should be writing up the generalized version, not just yours. Change the name to "Elemental Conversion Technique", or something more interesting if inspiration hits you.

Here is what the tech should give:

The above damage changes (deals elemental damage, +4d6 on all natural attacks)

+4 to perform techniques and +1 damage per die on techniques of the element they transform into

Immunity to the element they transform into

Vulnerability to the element they should be weak against based on affinities

DR 20/chakra

No stat bonuses

Duration is 1 round/level (4/level is broken and sort of silly)

Using the technique again cancels any currently active instances of the technique (just to avoid cheesy exploits)

Using the techniques cancels other active transformations on the animal companion (aka other moujuu aishou techs)

Fix the perform requirements
May need to adjust chakra cost after playtesting
Range should be touch for something like this
