The Shinobi is a homebrew effort to take the anime Naruto and transform it into D&D.
Straight up, if you’re looking for game balance, then this character class is not for you.
In the world of Naruto and the next generations anime that come after it, some warriors can tap into divine levels of power and channel that through their martial prowess.
Geek Native is sharing this homebrew attempt because of the thoroughness. This Homebrewery formatted document is 66 pages long!
In this fandom you’ll find rules for Shinobi Specialities such as a Taijutsu Specialist, Ninjutsu Specialist, Genjutsu Specialist, Puppet Master, Ninja Tool Specialist or Medical Ninja Specialist.
The Naruto clans, or some of them, are represented too. Featured are the huge Akimchi Clan, the spooky Aburame Clan, the sly Nara Clan, the versatile Kagyka Clan, the animal-loving Inuzuka Clan and the infamous Hyuga Clan.
There are also pages and pages of Jutsu abilities that put many spellbooks to shame.
The homebrew efforts can be found here.

Do you have any thoughts on this article? Let us know in the comments below.
do you guys have plans for the other clans, or the Rinnigan??
Hiya, this is just blog coverage of the project – I recommend trying to get in touch with the creators at Homebrewery. It’s a shame they’ve not put any contact details in.
Hi Yawgmoth, i have actually done something similar! shoot me an email and i can share what i have worked on. [email protected]
I included Rinnegan and split the Shinobi Class into Paths.
Wow! This looks great! Is there any news if any character conversions like Kakashi, orochimaru etc are following this?
Not that we know of; sadly the creator of this Homebrew did not make their contact details available and we have no way of asking.
Shame. Hopefully there will be but could be fun to make our own interpretations. Thanks for the reply dude :)
Until something from the creator becomes available (if it ever does for a ‘bestiary’), http://www.dandwiki.com have quite a lot on Naruto characters for D&D 5e. However they were created by other people with a different format for their games rules and content so some adjustments will need to be done, but it could help point us in the right direction for now
