Ishi no Teashi (Limbs of Stone)
Ninjutsu (Doton; Requires Ninjutsu 6 ranks) [Ishimaru Hijutsu, Earth]
Rank: 1 (C-Class);
Range: Personal;
Target: You;
Duration: 1 round/see text;
Saving Throws: None;
Chakra Cost: 5.

Through usage of this technique, the user modifies his body so that his forearm, hands, shins and feet become stone. Doing so increases the user's unarmed damage by 1, in addition to a +2 bonus to Break checks, Str checks and the user has a harder time climbing or swimming. On the round the technique should end, the user may sustain the technique and renew its effect on the same round, instead of having to use it again; doing so still costs the user the same Chakra Cost as it would if he used the technique normally. Unarmed damage dealt via use of this technique is lethal damage.
