Chizuken is a prof3 1h melee wpn with 1d10 dmg. It can be thrown as a prof3 ranged 5/10 wpn with 1d8 dmg. When used as an implement for melee, burst, blast attacks, the dice size increases by 1.
Attacks with Chizuken cannot be made nonlethal.

L5 CHIZUKEN (unique)

Slice (1/enc, free action )
Trigger: When charging or attacking an unguarded foe with a melee basic attack, you may use the following
Effect: Choose one following
- if the attack targets Reflex, gain Sec-1 bonus to attack roll and Sec bonus to dmg
- if the attack targets AC, gain Sec -4 bonus to attack roll and Sec bonus to dmg
- deal twice Sec or 2d10 extra dmg

Note: The bonuses granted by Slice are ability bonuses. If you start an encounter bearing Chizuken, while you wield it Slice is considered an SA1 for you.

=====

Note
- This weapon defauts to being held by Sarutobi Seijun. At the start of each session, he may give it to anyone else, or sometimes for RP purposes (say cutting through a gate)
- When he's not in play, Chizuken is wielded by either Uzumaki Kyuket or Akimichi Choushoku. Vote as a group in case of disagreement, or roll off if the group cannot decide
- Only the character which is wielding Chizuken at the start of the session counts as having Slice as an SA1

- Chizuken is subject to item breakage rules. For simplicity, once upgraded its cost (600 gp) is added to Seijun's Armory Budget

The Rubyheart rosary is a gold chain with rubies set into it, taken from the convoy. It has chakra focusing properties but it was only with Tomo's guidance that Kazuya was able to use it properly. It is used as an implement, and can be wielded in either hand, the gloves, arms, helm, neck, or ring slot.


L10 RUBYHEART (unique)
Implement
Critical: 1d10 dmg (instead of 1d6)

Incinerate (1/Level, Free action)
Effect: You gain 1 WP which must be immediately used with either your SA1 Empowered Flame OR to apply Mastery with an attack ability from your Fire Release tree.
Special: For avoidance of doubt, you can draw upon Incinerate while using another implement/weapon to attack. You can recharge this ability by spending 1 WP, as a free action.

Purify (1/Enc, Free action)
Effect: When you activate this ability, choose from acid, fire, lightning or radiant. Until end of encounter, when attacking with Rubyheart, you may change all your damage to be of the chosen type.
Special: When you use WP with your SA1 Empowered Flame OR to apply Mastery, you may change the damage type.

Absorb (1/Enc, Free action)
Trigger: You miss at least half your targets with a Fire Release attack ability with which you have used WP to activate either SA1 Empowered Flame or a Mastery.
Effect: Cancel the effect of spending your WP on the triggering attack (if multiple uses of WP are in play, choose one of them to cancel). If this item's Incinerate is expended, it immediately recharges, otherwise, you regain 1 WP.

=====

Note
- This item is soulbound
- Rubyheart is subject to item breakage rules. For simplicity, once upgraded its base cost (3000) is added to Kazuya's Armory Budget.

The Glass Eye was implanted into Kikyo by Orochimaru after returning her the 'repaired/restored' Sharingan eye. It was planted behind her neck joined to her spine and has a seal around it. Kikyo can channel chakra into the Eye to activate it.

Awaken (1/Enc, no action at start of your turn)
Effect : Spend 1 WP. If you do not have Instinctive Dodge, you gain it for the rest of the encounter. If you have Instinctive Dodge, you gain the benefit of a different feat for the rest of the encounter.

[Zyraen]

On request as a sort of 'playtest' for possible permanent feat change

Stem The Blood : to be a +4 untyped bonus rather than a +4 feat bonus.

Kubikiribōchō is a two-handed prof2 melee reach wpn with 2d6b1 dmg (ie 1W = 2d6b1 ), and has the High Crit property (deal extra 2W dmg on crit, increases to 3W at L21).
Attacks with Kubikiribōchō have the cold keyword, and cannot be made nonlethal.

L10 KUBIKIRIBOCHO (unique)

Concuss (1/enc, free action )
Trigger: You hit an enemy with a blast, burst or melee attack
Effect: You deal that enemy 2W extra dmg, or twice Sec dmg. You may halve this extra dmg (decide after rolling) to make that enemy dazed.
Special: Concuss is considered an SA1 for you.
You may apply Persistent Mastery if you daze with Concuss. For reference, that means you can spend 1 WP to make it save ends, and if the target passes the save (ie without using an action to end the status), you can use an interrupt and 1 more WP to penalize the roll by your Sec Trait.
If you gain the Persistent Mastery, dazing with Concuss no longer reduces damage, and using 1WP to apply Persistent also doubles the damage dealt.

Special(18Apr23): When you miss with your SA1 or SA2, you may expend Concuss as a free action. That ability (the SA1 or SA2) gains the Reliable keyword for the rest of the encounter, and therefore is not expended until it hits.
