Discovering Nen types: At second level a nen user will discover their nen type along with their first nen ability. There are six different nen types that a nen user can develop.

The Main type is a nen users base type, the type they are most likely to develop and the easiest for them to learn and master. Any ability the player wants to develop through their nen MUST be approved by the GM running the game. Nen is developed randomly roll percentile dice to determine what type the character gets.

The different types of nen are as follows

Ten: This protects the nen user from all types of emotional attacks on them, in this stance they gain a plus 2 will bonus against intimidate, and bluff checks and fear but a minus 2 to all Strength and Dexterity checks. Swift action to use in combat.

Ren: This increases the durability of and Strength of the user allowing them to do more impressive feats, the user gains a +2 to all Strength and Dexterity related checks.

Zetsu: To suppress your nen to recover faster and allows them to track targets and stay hidden in certain circumstances. player will receive a +2 to all hide and spot checks along with allowing the player to recover from exhaustion if used for a full round (warning in this stance the pc are more vulnerable to attacks if hit they take an extra d6 of damage from their attacker.) Swift action to use in combat.

Hatsu: Hatsu allows the character to "materialize" a special property of nen related to each nen type.(example: Killua's, a transmuter, Hatsu is that he can "transmute" his nen into electricity). Swift action to use in combat.

Gyo: This allows the user to see more than the normal eye can catch. This gives the player a +4 to all spot checks while in use. Standard action in combat.

Ko:This technique allows the user to apply 100% of their nen to damaging their opponent to do devastating damage to their enemies, but at the cost of the nen users entire defense. User can their total Armor Class to his his next damage roll but he must declare the attack and has an AC equal to 0 next round. If the attack misses the user still has an AC of 0. Standard action in combat.

Ken: This is a more advance version of Ren, where the character hardens their nen to avoid damage done to them. This allows to the character to apply their base attack bonus to their AC. Standard action in combat.

In: This is a more advanced form of Hatsu in which you make your nen invisible to other characters that are magic users and also decent level fighter characters. This give the player a +4 to all hide and move silently checks. (warning in this stance the character is more vulnerable to attacks if hit they take an extra d6 of damage from their attacker.)

En: En is an advance version of Ren and Ten, sending out a field of nen to find hidden objects and secret attacker and door. This technique is very exhausting and will need high amounts if concentration to do (DC:15). User gains a +4 to all search checks and is not flat-footed if they are attack.

Shu: Shu is an ability that allows the nen user to shroud their nen on top of an object to extend it as if it is another part of the user. This gives the user a +1 bonus to hit with a weapon and a +1 to damage. If the weapon is already a +1 weapon then using Shu will make it a +2 and so forth but it will stop at +5, the critical for a weapon in Shu is still the same as a normal weapon. shu increases every level by 1. (ex shu +3 will give the weapon +3 to hit and +3 to damage). Full round action to use in combat.

Other Classes: Most nen users respect fighters, monks, ranger and rogues since nen users at one point or another have been either classes. They do not care not for paladins or clerics in less the class in question gets in the way of their current goals or they are need to assist them or vice versa, They have no business druids and generally stay out of their way. Most nen users of one thing in common, they do not like arcane spell casters, it is not to say they will not work with them but one of the main reasons that people become nen users is because they want to fight magic but keep their own fighting styles and not reverting to becoming a warblade,swordsage, or duskblade. Most nen users feel that Sorcerers and bards a show offs and feel like they lack the honor in combat. Even though nen users do not like wizards use of the arcane they have also a small respect for them since they spend the time training theremagic skill and tempering their abilities like them.
