While it’s difficult to balance even compared to other sage mode origins, the fact that it’s eventually a zero-benefit skill makes me happy to stamp this. (To members considering making a sage mode origin, please don’t use this as a cost/value comparison.) Approved.

Designer's Thoughts: This is the Origin Skill for Hornet Sages, much like Frog Style would be for toad summoners. While the cost is n/a, the Origin skill requires 2 and then 3 in Sage Mode so it comes out to -5SP overall. As far as balance I'm not 100% comfortable with the usability of the effect; this might be too many uses (Capped at 2 for Jonin, 3 for Sennin). On the other hand. it's fully telegraphed and can be barriered or negated or intercepted without issue to waste the skill altogether. Given the levels this will see play at, all should be extremely viable counterplays.

Sage Mode Origin; Hundred-Eyed Hunter Effect: When this character is in Sage Mode, this skill can be activated as a free action in the Main Phase, designating one offensive action. When rolling to dodge the attack designated in this skill's activation, the target must roll two dice and use the lower result. If the user possesses the skill 'Sage Mode Origin – Rank Two', roll three dice instead. If the target would use an ability to gain additional die rolls, that effect and this skill are considered used and nullified. This skill may be activated once per turn and cannot be activated on consecutive turns. Statistics: Speed and Accuracy Description: The Royal Hornets are renowned for their ability to hunt and slay their prey, no matter the distance or difficulty. The few humans who have managed to learn their ways as Sages have learned to enhance their vision and senses with Natural Energy, manifesting compound eyes or additional pupils as their mastery of Senjutsu increases. Those who battle a Hornet Sage find hiding and evasion an impossible task, pursued and hunted relentlessly until they are inevitably caught and slain.

Description: With a series of punches, the user seeds the target’s body with kikai larvae.

Description: It is a long-standing tradition that the hunter-ninja of any given village wear masks. Some are crafted of hardened porcelain and act as armor as well as the mark of their station, and others are made of cloth designed to keep their wearer warm or cool based on the climate of their homeland. Regardless of the make of a hunter ninja's mask, it serves to hide their identity and reflect that they are nothing but a faceless predator that is honed to the very peak of their ability. The prey of these hunters rarely elude them for long.

I’m a little confused about what Heavenly Body does; I feel like you’re wanting to add an kind of flexible regen to whichever tank stat you want? The wording is really fuzzy. I’d recommend rewording that effect, though I’m not opposed to the concept itself. The inlaid element/elemental resonance stuff should be fine, but they’re not mainsite attributes so links and permissions please~ For the second ability I’d prefer that you declare your current and total Health each turn. As for the boost itself, I think the ratios are fine. It’s tricky to price, but I’ll take an eyeball guess at $1000?
