Shurikenjutsu

Using precision and focus, ninja that master Shurikenjutsu learn how to use tricky maneuvers to gain an edge in combat. Shurikenjutsu uses your dexterity for the purposes of determining the Jutsu attack rolls and Jutsu Save DC.

While Shurikenjutsu utilize chakra, they also often require the use of Shuriken, Kunai, or other ranged weapons. As such, the damage these jutsu cause are not considered magical unless the weapon(s) used as part of the casting are magical.

Within the descriptions of the following jutsu, if the casting time for a jutsu is "part of an attack roll using a shuriken or kunai" then the jutsu can be used in place of an attack. This means the jutsu can replace one of your attacks when you gain the Extra Attack feature. As the jutsu still requires "1 action" to cast, you cannot replace an attack made as a bonus action.

When you cast a Shurikenjutsu as an action or a bonus action, you can still use your remaining action or bonus action to cast a Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, or Shurikenjutsu technique.
