Basic Techniques

These basic techniques are all things that a ninja can learn at the academy, and can be used throughout a ninja's life.

What the technique is called

Use Requirements: (S) for seals, (T) for speech, and (C) for components. (A) means you just have to be able to move to perform it.

Performance Time: How long it takes to perform the technique. Immediate means it can be used anytime, even during someone else's chance to react. Free action means you can do it freely on your round. Partial means it takes one of your two partial actions every round. Full Round means it takes the whole round to perform the technique. When it states multiple rounds the effect happens the countdown gets to zero. Continous means you must concentrate to keep it going but it works the whole time.
