Lycanthropy: Beast's Sense

Name: Lycanthropy: Beast's Sense
Element: ---
Rank: C/B/A/S
Specialty: Sensory
Particular Jutsu Type: Supplementary
Backstory: With a constant great sense of smell comes recognition between ninja and citizens, as well as understanding the condition which befalls them.


Appearance: This is based completely on the users' sense of smell, and a legendary sense of smell it is.
Handseals: Flared nostrils, twitching nose
Duration: 3/4/5/6 posts
Cooldown: Duration + 2
Range: Based on Beast's Blood's range of smell, 25 meters, 50 meters transformed.
Power: 20/40/60/110
Speed: ---
Health: ---
Stat Boosts: ---
What it does: Using their sense of smell, a lycanthrope or alpha lycanthrope can smell the distance of a living thing (human, summon, familiar, chakra construct) as well as the condition and any physical ailments (HP, AP, and if there is bleeding, poison, or an elemental effect). They cannot determine the exact person unless the scent is memorized, and can recognize bloodline associations based on previous memorizations. The user can only determine the 5 natural elements until witnessing/learning an advanced release beforehand. This doesn't give the user any insight into elemental or the bloodline's abilities, however. If a target has DNA transplants, the user will only smell their main Bloodline. For clanless with transplants, they can only detect one per person, or smell that something is off with their DNA.

Can focus on all targets in range. If the sense of smell is masked, this technique will ignore the masking if the power is not higher than this technique.

The user can double the range of this technique by focusing, but the downside is that they are unable to use or maintain any techniques aside from this one while they do so. The user also has to form and hold the seal of confrontation while using this version of the technique.

*Using Genjutsu Release as an example of precedent for AP equating extra power as it is not a physical attack/damaging and could be considered a hitscan.

Please let me know if duration and cooldown values make sense and any other comments, thank you for your time

Thanks @Daiko!


- made it more fluid to read, fixed a lot of confusing parts
- Narrowed to one effect
- Fixed AP cost
- Fixed WC Requirement
- Gave it a reasonable duration and cooldown
- Gave reasonable "hand-seals" (from pure concentration to obvious nose movement)

- Added limitations to Bloodline Detection
- Added limitations on 'smelling' projectile jutsu

The staff saving my way

-Changed max scaling to S rank
-Added new AP and WC requirements, as well as a bonus requirement for S rank
