who may not specialize in any particular field such as
ninjutsu, Genjutsu or Taijutsu. But someone who can use
them all to a varying degree and find success. While
other classes can use all 3 forms of jutsu, this class is
designed with the ability to enhance them on a case-by-

CHARACTER INSPIRATIONS
When designing this class, it was built with the intent to
allow players to utilize ninja puppets of different types,
specializing in one or two. Players would be able to
create and utilize puppets for stealth or combat, while
keeping themselves a little safer than others, or use
them to gain new abilities for themselves. The characters
this class is pulling inspiration from are as follows:
Kankuro, Sasori, and Chiyo.
