|
|
Hello all,
I've been looking over Genjutsus and they look like they get pretty cool. However, when lower level it looks like the various techniques are pretty lacking. So, I am curious, what do you all think is the level where Genjutsus turn the bend and start getting really strong? Do you have a favorite technique? Do you think Genjutsu is useless?
All opinions welcome! I just think this is a fun topic to discuss. |

I think it depends, genjutsu masters are staying away from combat types. But for when it gets good I say maybe around level 6? When you are able to start to take the Genjutsu Path. (Now I'm gonna give you, in my opinion, the best way to build a genjutsu user)
Start making your Cha 18 (or your highest roll), this will give you a +4 to Genjutsu save DC
One of your starting feats should be Genius Ninja (+2 to learn and can learn techniques 1 level higher than they are)
Then, charismatic hero 6 (Take Genjutsu, Improved Genjutsu, and Advanced Genjutsu; giving you a boost of +3 to perform, +2 to learn, and +1 to genjutsu skill)
Take Feats- Genjutsu Adept (+2 to genjutsu checks, +1 to genjutsu DC), Genin (Genjutsu, Gives +1 to it), the last one whatever
Take the Genjutsu Proficiency Ability from genjutsu master (gives a +2 to peform, and a +1 to the skill)
Put max ranks into Genjutsu (9)
Your end total is
A total Skill bonus of 18
Giving you a +23 to perform
You can perform a rank 7 genjutsu
A rank 7 Genjutsu's DC is 21
And the DC is a will save and because Cha is a universal dump stat not many players will have a high Will stat |

Wisdom stat is a dump stat, otherwise I agree with you. Wisdom determines will saves. |

I'd never take Charismatic hero to 6. Charismatic 3 into Shinobi Adept into Genjutsu Master is ideal. The Genin/Chunin/Jounin feats are only good as bonus feats given by the DM or if you really feel the need to have sense/suppress chakra.
As far as to when Genjutsu specialists become good? I'd say level 3. Taibakudo is a strong technique |
