Equipment:
Most of the weaponry Kihei makes use of is straight off-the-rack or readily available on the open market. They are therefore not paid for with Hero Points, and costs are noted for comparison only. Specialty items such as Smoke bombs and ninja-made Artifacts are paid with HP.

Rituals:
All Rituals (called a Jutsu in the game world) are Fatiguing (-1), Have 1 Phase casting time, and with certain exceptions, require the correct hand signs to cast. Kohei knows the following:

• Clone Jutsu: Illusion: 08, creates a Duplicate Only, 45 HP.
• Substitution/Transformation Jutsu: Illusion: 08, Creates a Duplicate, Cloaks User w/ Invisibility (35 HP).
• Wall Walking Jutsu: Cling: 03 (2 HP).
• Water Walking Jutsu: Air Walking: 01 (Only to Walk on Water) (1 HP).
• Disguise Jutsu: Invisibility: 02 (10 HP).
• Far-Throwing Jutsu: Gliding: 08, Only to Increase Weapons Range (4 HP).
• Power Strike: Sharpness (Weapons EV): 05 (17 HP) Note: A variant of this jutsu allows Sharpness to affect Chakra constructs.
• Barrage Strike Jutsu: Combines Power Strike w/ Critical/Devastating Blow.
• Free Weapons Jutsu: Projectile Weapons: 08 (Needs No Object of Opportunity) (10 HP).

Artefacts:
Bladestorm Ninja Scroll [BODY: 01, Projectile Weapons: 08, Sharpness (Projectile weapons): 03, Area Effect, 3 rounds to Cast (1 round to draw and open the scroll, 1 round to read scroll and perform any hand signs, activates on the 3^rd round), Can be used only Once (35 HP)].
Bladestorm creates a swirling vortex of tiny edged weapons that attacks a large area, and thus must be used very carefully, as it will affect allies as well as enemies.
Once he has used the copy, it takes him a minimum of Three days (16 AP’s) to transcribe a new copy of the scroll, plus a Wealth check vs 9/9 (The effect rating of the Scroll). Since the cost is quite high with respect to his Wealth Level, he will typically only have one on hand at any time, and once used, it is relatively hard to replace.

New rules – Mysterious Background Aka VERY Secret ID [15 points]

A higher value of Secret Identity, MB is used where the character in question has no real legal identity, or where the person’s background is so shrouded in mystery that they are essentially defined by their hero (or villain) persona.

This seems like an advantage, but there is also a definite disadvantage in that either the character will need to take extraordinary measures to preserve this anonymity, or that they essentially have no legal identity, and cannot procure housing, credit, education, legal documents, etc, except by illegal means.

Rogue has this Drawback, as once did Wolverine and Magneto.
