Sage Mode Rules

[Mason]

ϟSage Mode

Sage Mode is the empowered state humans enter when they learn to draw natural energy inside them and blending it with their chakra. By doing so, the person creates new senjutsu chakra that allows them to enter Sage Mode. Sage Mode enhances the combat efficiency of the user by allowing them to tap into the natural force of the world that opens new techniques to the user and allows them to power up existing ones with the new senjutsu chakra. However, there are drawbacks to using Sage Mode. To gather enough natural energy to initiate the transformation into Sage Mode, the user must remain perfectly still, making it near impossible to gather it while in combat. This results the senjutsu chakra not being able to be replenished while in combat, meaning that the user can't stay within this state for extended periods of time. After exiting, the user will experience extreme exhaustion.


The user must receive training in Sage Arts from a Sage to enter Sage Mode, and must fully complete the training that they are given. To enter Sage Mode in battle, the user is required remain perfectly still for 3 post. At the beginning of the fourth post, the user can enter Sage Mode. Sage Mode then lasts for 5 posts, and exits Sage Mode at the end of the fifth post. There are alternate ways to prepare Sage Mode, such as Sage Art: Amphibian Jutsu and Reverse Summoning prepared Shadow Clones. While in Sage Mode, the user gains a number a Special Skills. If the character already has any of the above Special Skills or a different form of it, those specific skills are considered to be added on top of the preexisting ones. (Example: If a character already has the "+Strength" Special Skill, they are considered to have "+Strength" twice, doubling the effect that it would normally have.)



While in Sage Mode, the user gains the following Special Skills:

- +Strength

- +Agility

- +Chakra Reserves

- +Endurance

- Sage Chakra: Sage Sensing

- Sage Chakra: Jutsu Boost
