Naruto Saigen Roleplay

Hi there.

I was playing in a tabletop system last night, and a mechanic that got introduced really stuck with me, so I thought I'd share it as some kind of possibility for saigen. Without trying to get too much into it, in the system, it takes 20 points to upgrade intelligence. However, you can also raise that stat by training skills that use intelligence as its attribute, requiring 40 points (Double the cost of the stat) of trained skills to upgrade it by one point.

How this would translate to Saigen, is, possibly, just working off of word counts. If it takes 1500 words to train a stat, we'll say Ninjutsu, then if you trained 3000 (or potentially even more, 3 or 4 times, for balance purposes) words worth of ninjutsu -jutsu-, then you'd earn a free stat point.

Thoughts, comments, hatemail, etc?

to train ninjutsu you can literally just write your character performing jutsu over and over. o_o

to train taijutsu, see above

to train genjutsu, see above

I think what Guns is suggesting is that if you for example train a X rank Ninjutsu then you would gain Y progress towards your next Ninjutsu stat.

Unless i'm reading it incorrectly. I like the idea though but have no clue how it could be implemented or if it would break everything ever.

That's not the point of the idea at all, lol. I mean by training jutsu, you gain credit towards the relevant stat. I'm not talking about spamming jutsu you already know, I'm talking about learning new jutsu, and making slow progress towards its parent stat.

EDIT: Yeah Envy gets it.

Seems like a really neat idea, but very tedious to keep track of.
