I already have, but that's not how they work.

Would you be able to elaborate on how they work? Or is that strictly for the book?

The idea I had was more-or-less just fancy equipment that just had a sort of association with different summon tribes. Nothing like a Legacy Weapon from DnD, other than being hard to get.

Summon has a signature weapon. There is a legendary weapon of the same type linked to it. Use the weapon to summon the creature, weapon is consumed by the creature (temporarily). Creature's weapon becomes awesome.

That's pretty neat. Can't say that I would have thought of that. So both the Summoner and Summon get a fancy new toy to play with.

If there's any cool artifact ideas you'd like to see in the book, now is a good time.

Perhaps an object that let you transform into said creature with extraordinary abilities for a short while.

Well, I may as well throw my idea into the pot if you're looking for suggestions.

Meta-Chakra feat:
Hasty Retrieval: Allows the user to summon a creature faster than usual, allowing the creature to make a single action (move or standard) that round, but requires a roll of a d(whichever you feel should be used) to determine what rank the creature they summoned is, up to the maximum rank they can summon +1. Any rank above what they can summon is npc'd by the gm to represent the summon not listening to the summoner, and instead doing whatever it wishes.

(just remembering naruto training before the chuunin exams match with neji, he went from summoning a tadpole to summoning gamabunta)

An artifact huh well I like Shadow's Idea that would be so cool but I don't see it working with summons like Gunshin. An artifact i would like to see would be one that would allow one to subjugate summons though this would probably be for evil characters.

Sirshadow's idea should still be achieveable even with a weird summon type. Either you turn into the creature and lose some human abilities (maybe even temp stat changes), or you take on limited physical characteristics of the summon plus some of their abilities. It could be somewhat similar to the Sage Affinity class feature, but more pronounced/powerful, and cost chakra.

The artifact would be something representative of the summon, rabbit's foot, shark tooth, etc, maybe a mask or a weapon for the war hero.

What about an artifact that allows the user's summons to make use of some of the character's tactics?

@Tribok- There is already a chain of techniques that do what your meta-chkra feat does, minus the randomness. They are called Shunkoku Meihoujin: "Rank." Or if you have the levels to spend, take summoner all the way to seventh level to quicken summon 3 times per day and keep them for just as long as normal.

Must have missed those, thanks for pointing them out Smile

No problem, Tribok. Does my idea make sense? not only am I new to this system but I've never crafted magic items in the standard 3.5 DnD before.

I think the artifact idea I said would fit the bill i based the idea around the Staves of dragon kind.

Oh, my bad. I'll leave this to the veterans then, but that's why I ask. I love the tactics, it's a shame how few there are.

Frankto · Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:13 pm Post subject:

I'm looking for both or either, Jensik.

I know it's too late for any last minute summon ideas but will we be seeing any Kamaitachi?. As for items I'd like to see a item for a toad summoner: a gourd of special toad oil that allows the chakra shaping of any Katon or Suiton technique that originates from the user's mouth after he has drunk said oil. Maybe include an increase in damage as well.

No specific requests from me (everybody already said everything I wanted Laughing

Just curious if there's a generic release estimate for the book, like "sometime two weeks from now"
Not rushing you, just wondering if there's a cut off in case I think of a random request that might be "last minute"

Is there any chance we'll be seeing some combination jutsu, like Jiraiya and Gamabunta's Toad Oil Flame Bullet?

Frankto · Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 1:52 pm Post subject:

No, probably not.

Ok, just wondering. As far as items, sort of, what about summoning tattoos like Orochimaru had, or the shuriken ones that Sasuke had?

Aigol · Kage Joined: 03 Jul 2006 Posts: 265

I think Orochimarus is already in the Book under brand of the beast or something like that

I've settled on 2 volumes, released 1 week apart. The official price tag has been set a $3.99 per volume.

Each volume should contain somewhere around 4 or 5 blood pacts, 35-40 special creatures, 20 summon feats, 10 artifacts, and 3 feats for summoners.
