Master of the Eight Gates

Prerequisite: You must know at least one of the Eight Gate techniques 

Hit Dice: 1d10

1st level: 

Speedy Opener. Starting at 1st level, you can rush through the opening of your gates to open multiple gates at one time. You can use this feature as a bonus action. When you do, you can open any number of Gates you know, spending the combined amount of chakra it would take to open them individually. You must still open the Gates sequentially, so you can’t skip any gates when opening them in this way. Due to the extreme cost in chakra, this feature can cause you to experience extreme chakra loss (see Running out of Chakra). You still suffer the same levels of exhaustion depending on which gates you open. 

You can use this feature once, and you can use it again when you take a short or long rest. 

Eight Gate Knowledge. Starting at 1st level, you gain access to the Eight Gates Taijutsu list. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can learn two jutsu, but they must be from the Taijutsu or Eight Gates jutsu list. Additionally, any of the Eight Gates jutsu you know are considered always prepared by you and they do not count against your total jutsu prepared. 

2nd Level:

Rest and Recovery. At 2nd level, you are in a near constant state of exhaustion due to your use of the Gates. Whenever you take a short rest, you can reduce your exhaustion level by 1, but only if the exhaustion was caused by the use of the Eight Gates or another Taijutsu technique you willingly used. 

3rd Level:

Natural Affinity. At 3rd level, your body has become better attuned to utilizing the Eight Gates. You gain the following benefits: 

• Whenever you cast a Taijutsu while one of the Eight Gates is active, your Taijutsu save DC increases by 1. 

• While you have an active Gate, you deal an additional 1d6 points of damage with your martial arts attacks. 

• You gain advantage on dexterity saving throws while you have an active Gate

Surging Gate. At 3rd level, whenever you activate one or more of your Gates, a surge of strength passes through you. You regain 1d8 hit points for each gate you open. 

4th Level:

Ability Score Improvement. When you reach 4th Level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Improved Recovery. You can now reduce your exhaustion level by 2 when you short rest as long as the levels are caused by the use of the Eight Gates or another Taijutsu technique you willingly used. 

5th Level:

The Key is the Body. At 5th level, the chakra cost for every Gate you know is reduced by half rounded down (to a minimum of 1).
