Ideology
With the Ideology DLC, NFRP World adds five ninja memes, eight ninja issues with their precepts, three roles, and a creed for every NFRP faction. Without the DLC none of this loads.
In short
With Ideology: five ninja memes, ninja issues with their precepts, three roles, a creed for every NFRP faction and four ninja rituals. Without the DLC none of it loads.
Memes
- Shinobi Code: a ninja lives by rank, orders and the mission. Duty to the village comes before the self.
- Clan Honour: blood and name are sacred. A clan's techniques belong to the clan, and leaving your people is unforgivable.
- Chakra Reverence: chakra is the breath of the world. Training it is a sacred act, and the body is a vessel to be honed.
- The Forbidden Path: power is power. Grafted bloodlines, opened gates and broken oaths are just tools.
- Sage of the Wilds: true strength flows from the land, the beasts and the old places.
Issues and precepts
- Ninja rank: revered, earned or meaningless. Decides how proud ranked ninja feel, how small the unranked feel and how much a promotion is celebrated.
- Masked duty: required (every ranked ninja must wear a masked-guard mask), honoured or distrusted.
- Inner gates: revered, accepted or forbidden. Opening one of the Eight Gates is a moment of pride, nothing special, or a terrible act.
- Leaving the village: betrayal, understood or freedom. Covers ninja who become missing-nin after you leave a sworn village.
- Sparring: sacred duty (more than ten days without a session feels like neglect), valued or indifferent.
- Bloodline grafting: abhorrent, disapproved, acceptable or revered.
- Ninja missions: sacred oath, pragmatic or mercenary. Decides how good a completed mission feels and how much a failed one stings.
Roles
- Sensei: students who train or spar with the sensei gain experience 25% faster, and the sensei learns a little faster too.
- Village guardian: takes less damage and moves a little faster.
- Shrine keeper: speaks with gentle authority and is hard to rattle.

Rituals
Four ninja rituals, each brought by one of the memes and open to ideoligions with a related meme:
- Rank ceremony (Shinobi Code): the leader honours a ranked ninja. Good mood and class experience for the honoree.
- Memorial for the fallen (Clan Honour): held at a grave. If the dead was a ninja, the ninja present gain experience.
- Festival rite (Sage of the Wilds): during a village festival it raises goodwill with the host village.
- Blood pact rite (The Forbidden Path): the pact-bearer regains chakra faster for one to three days, longer and stronger with a summoning contract.
An ideoligion made before the rituals were added gets them only after it is reformed.
