Sasuke Uchiha was actually a Fighter; or, Crouching Ninja Hidden Fighter

[Machaeus]

Okay. Just had some thoughts, and I'm not sure how they'd translate as far as power to D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder. So I'm gonna throw them out there for fun.

This is not intended to be broken, and I don't know if it's been done already. If so, please inform me only once. I will edit my post if someone says "yeah it's been done".

I seem to recall somewhere - it might be 3.5, I don't remember fully - that you could draw and throw multiple shuriken in your attack, but you took a penalty to do so. (Maybe this was a feat, now that I think of it, since it sounds like a Manyshot type of thing.)

Make a Fighter. Get Weapon Focus in Shuriken, get Rapid Shot (as a prerequisite for Manyshot), the Manyshot-equivalent, and Weapon Spec., and eventually Greater WF and Greater WS. Make sure your Fighter's Weapon Training is in Thrown weapons.

Add Deflect/Snatch Arrows.

And do this.

Or just kill your opponents with tiny shards of metal. Either or.

Now you're probably asking, "What do you plan to do about those pathetic skill ranks and the lack of Stealth as a Class Skill for the Fighter?" Simple: Skill Focus. Put your Fighter Bonus feats to work for shuriken, and Skill Focus everything else you'd need.

It's not perfect, but it could work quite well for all I know; I haven't actually run the numbers.

Additionally, if you want to go full Uchiha, ask your party mage to make "wands of Burning Hands" in an unusual slot, like a mask that you can blow through to create the flames. A wand of Shocking Grasp in the bracers slot would work too. Add Weapon Focus/Training in a longsword and enchant it to be Shocking Burst.

If someone would like to crunch those numbers and compare them to, say, a greatsword or something, that'd be great. Level 6 is about the point this would really come into its own, thanks to Manyshot and the additional attack per round.

Is this cool? Silly? Stupid? Let me know.

You can do something like this with the Weapon Master's Handbook.

Advanced Weapon Training has options that allow you to treat your BAB as skill ranks in up to four skills. It also has an option to allow you to treat your fighter level as warpriest sacred weapon damage. There is another option to double your weapon training bonus on damage.

I may have to make a Shuriken Fighter now.

Just saying, you're going to run out of money very quickly trying to replicate Sharingan powers, and some of them are so ridiculous (*coughsusanoocough*) that almost no GM will let that fly.

[Anzyr]

Pretty much everyone in Naruto past a certain point is actually a full caster using 3.5 Epic Magic. Including Sasuke.

[Val'bryn2]

Sasuke would be a basic magus, going into Eldritch Heritage feat chain for his bloodline. The rule you're thinking of was part of basic shuriken rules when they only dealt 1 damage that you could throw 3 with every attack.

[Machaeus]

Haha, I'm loving the reactions so far.

Ashram: Well, yes, I agree there. I'm just pointing out the things you CAN do. Can definitely =/= should here :P
Though as a nitpick, Chidori and Gokakyu aren't Sharingan powers; they're Ninjutsu.

Anzyr: Yeah, probably. Still, he'd have to have dipped for Fighter 4, maybe higher, somewhere along the line.

Val'bryn2: Magus would work better thematically, but for attack roll effectiveness, and the damage boost, I'd say at least 4 levels in Fighter, minimum.

[Natan Linggod 327]

A Sensate fighter would fit the super senses sharingan feel but I don't know how effective it would be.
