Path of Sight (Shinobi World Supplement) (Variant)

Path of Sight

The Byakugan, also known as the all seeing white eye, is a Dōjutsu possessed by those of the Hyūga clan who are born with their pupils and irises replaced with a white circle contained in a very thin black line. Through this path, you gain access to the Gentle Fist style of combat.

• Your DC for any Path of Sight technique = 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency bonus.

Design Note: All Path of Sight jutsu benefit from Taijutsu affinity.

Byakugan

At 3rd level, you gain a +5 bonus to Perception checks and your Passive Perception. As an action, you can activate or deactivate your Byakugan. While your Byakugan is active, you can also see in 360 degree vision in a 30 foot radius, and you can not be surprised while conscious. You must have your Byakugan activated to perform certain Jutsu detailed later in this class.

When you take the search action while your Byakugan is active, you may also attempt a DC 13 Perception check to locate living creatures and magical effects within 60 feet. You see a faint outline around the detected chakra source and what school of magic or chakra nature the magical effect was created from, or one that the creature can use if any, can be discerned by you. This effect can penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by 5 feet of stone, 5 inches of common metal, 1 inch of lead, or 15 feet of wood or dirt.

At the end of each turn you have your Byakugan active, you must spend 1 chakra, or 2 if it was implanted.
