Minor Announcements List

[Niro]

Denjiton has been nerfed after staff was alerted to how strong it had become. Below are the following changes:

• Remove damage effects, it only affects chakra. No more nausea/body tremors, etc.
• Str of Jutsu vs Control of Jutsu, if Str is more than Con it breaks down the jutsu.
• Control of the jutsu required for the stat battle is assumed to be equal to the jutsus rank unless there is a prereq on the jutsu for another Control amount, or if the jutsu is continuously channeled the Control used is the users actual Control.
• Increased chakra cost of continuous jutsu (e.g S/T, Sankaton)
• Remove Tai Spec limitation

The clan has been edited to accommodate the changes. Any Ishiguro are free to swap out their jutsu with the new versions.

[Director]

Whirlpool's Country page has been updated to reflect the event of Konoha clearing it out, making way for the old nobles, and its rebuilding. Will update a little more as we go with notable towns, and exports/imports. For now at least cover a little bit of what has happened, and how the country is being ran.

[Ace Trainer]

Okay...

A rule has been added to clarify that minor country characters who have chakra knowledge at startup must purchase and list the basic ninjutsu, and explain via the character history how the knowledge was obtained.

The rules have also been updated to clarify the price of non-weaponry equipment such a bandages, vials, etc.


Two minor rule updates; Swarm rules were clarified that their special "trait" can be access to multiple concentrations. This is at the discretion of the moderating team and should be reasonable (no adding 15 concentrations).

Additionally, if you receive a weapon from another player and want to add it on your sheet, the weapon will need to be priced and paid for at 50% what it would be if you bought it outright. This is also at moderator discretion.

Slight change to hunting rules in regards to a jinchuuriki defecting their village: for each rank average above their own rank average their mastery is in, +1 hunter can be added to the hunting thread *without restriction.*

For example, if a genin (rank average is 5) jinch has 20 mastery, 2 additional characters (C is 10, B is 20 = +2) may be added to the hunt

The Country Guide has been updated with Alliances, Neutral Countries, and Hostile Countries

Specialist Stat rules were updated to clarify that you must still use the main 6 stats to power Specialist Stat abilities.
"Any skills you gain from a Specialist Stat must still be powered by one of your main 6 stats. This means you can't grow a 3rd arm that has [Specialist] Strength, or gain control of magic black orbs that fly around at [Specialist] speed. They would instead be [Strength] for the arm, or [Control] for the orbs, for example."

2 small things-
Store was updated to specify swapping like ranked jutsu costs 2 points.
Rank up was updated so ranking up rewarded 20 points, scaled 25

The following line was added to the debuffs page, this was already the case but wasn't written anywhere
In certain situations your techniques may confuse, disorient, or subdue an opponent in a way that reduces their ability to fight effectively. This is called an effective debuff. Effective debuffs are situationally oriented, meaning they don't actually reduce anyone's stats except in a very specific situation. If you had a special way of throwing a weapon that makes it harder to dodge, that would be an effective debuff to anyone who is thrown at's speed, presuming they do not have a technique that lets them perceive or counter it easier. Effective debuffs can be utilized against any of the 6 stats, only if it is appropriate for the technique. Effective debuffs follow standard debuffs for their rank, but are not modified by the range reduction.

3 rule updates; these were all already rules and added for posterity
1. The speed stat was updated to include the following line:
> The closer you are moving to your max speed, the less you are capable of doing, including the speed in which you can perform hand seals for ninjutsu.
2. The ninjutsu rules were updated to include the following line in regards to how control relates to jutsu strength
> Any combination is permitted, as long as the combined [Speed] & [Strength] are not greater than 2x your control.
3. The genjutsu rules were updated to include the following line:
> Additionally, genjutsu are performed at a static speed, equal to the rate at which a ninjutsu of the same rank is performed when moving at half the users max speed. Meaning regardless of if a genjutsu user is moving at max speed, or standing still, the speed in which they perform a genjutsu does not change.

Decided this a while ago and forgot to announce/add it to the rules
> If you have the Advanced Channeling concentration any jutsu that can be channeled can be done via hand seals, and vice versa, regardless of the jutsu description. This means you do not need two copies of a jutsu to be able to do it via both channeling and hand seals.

The genjutsu stacking rule only applies to genjutsu stacked by the same player. If you are in multiple genjutsu by multiple people, and you perform kai, you will only be freed from the ones you have the WP to break.

The bonus conferred by using a launcher for projectiles is only conferred by weapons in your equipment list. Launchers (bows, crossbows, senbon launchers, etc) made by jutsu will not confer this bonus. Projectiles made of chakra will have the bonus assuming they were launched by an appropriate launcher

> Ninjutsu and Genjutsu consume the same amount of chakra for their like ranked counterparts. Meaning a standard B-rank ninjutsu performed with 20 control consumes the same amount of chakra as a B-rank genjutsu.

Was added to rules per discussions in <#363466361923436544> the other day.

And FINALLY

> *[Flawless Aim Style • Absolute Aim]
> A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
> Having mastered the art of ranged combat, the practitioner is capable of calculating all outside factors before launching their projectiles. Ambient factors such as temperature, winds, moisture, any terrain, and even lack of sight on their target can not hinder their aim. So long as they have a means of detecting the location of their opponent and no impassible objects or unavoidable defenses stand in their way, the practitioner's attacks will strike their target with pinpoint accuracy without fail. Living targets must have a **Perception technique equal or higher in rank to be able to dodge the practitioner's attacks** without some sort of additional defense.

The bold line has replaced “dodge” with “perceive” since dodging relies partially on speed as well. The Flawless Aim archive has been updated accordingly, if you have this jutsu you can dm me and I’ll correct it on your app (and I’ll give you 1 point for your patience ) Thanks !

[Ace Trainer]

You will be given 2 ryo if you include in your mod to update your points field to Ryo. This is to hopefully save the staff the effort of having to go through at some point and update every character in the archives cause fuck that.

All mods going forward must be conducted using ryo and the prices currently in the store. Only mods posted prior to this announcement (12:34 MST 13Feb21) will be able to be valued off of points.

If you were in the bingo book, I have given you a bounty approximately within the range of your current rank (for almost everyone I believe that is S-rank). It may be prudent to familiarize yourself with the new hunting rules, as some many be inclined to lower your bounty total. If you did war crimes during this event, and were not in the bingo book, you were added to it.

I renamed the "Historical Figures" Archive to "World Data Archives" and will be using it to store all the world info, rather than it being distributed all over the place. Link below. In it you'll also see the Great War Chronology Thread, which has the series of events that occurred over the span of the Great War. If I missed anything, let me know. When you finish legends for grading, I'll update each point with a link to the thread, so hopefully we'll have a complete list of everything that happened. The Countries Thread will get moved here as well, and other general data about the world. LMK if you have any questions, thanks.

Copy and Pasted from Discord because I'm lazy

Multiple staff members have expressed discomfort in grading [Mature] threads, as they're not particularly interested in reading overtly sexual themes (especially as many of us do modding at work/etc.). You are welcome to continue having [Mature] threads, and posting them in the [Grading] section, but anticipate that they may not be graded for long periods of time in order to respect that.

validusrex — Today at 2:31 PM
Jutsu ranges have been update to the following range for their base;
D-rank: 15 meters
C-rank: 30 meters
B-rank: 60 meters
A-rank : 100 meters
S-rank : 160 meters

Modifications limit has been updated to be 25 jutsu in total only.

A new perk has been added;
Fundraiser: When contributing ryo to an organization, the organization gets 10% more than what the user paid.

As an addendum to the range updates; please remember that range is a quality of complexity, so this does not mean that all C-rank jutsu should cover 30m, and so forth. So please be mindful of this when submitting jutsu that have multiple effects, they may may not utilize the full range listed.

[Hayate]

Even if the mount has a speed greater than the speed of individual mounting, you can now mount. The mount will suffer no systematic speed penalties. Read more below:

In cases where a character is being carried by or riding a companion at a speed greater than they would be capable of moving themselves, the greater the difference, the more difficult it is for the character to perform jutsu. This means that while a Jounin with 35 speed riding a 40 speed tiger might just be slower or be less accurate when performing actions from the tiger's back, a genin with 5 speed is holding on for dear life and pretty much incapable of performing jutsu or any actions.

Along with these changes, we have released a new optional [Mounting] concentration.

The fundamental skill of [Mounting] indicates the user's proficiency in acting from atop amount. This includes various skills such as riding, jousting, and even being able to be effective while in flight.

NocodeShow

Code: Select all

[quote=Mounting]The fundamental skill of [b][Mounting][/b] indicates the user's proficiency in acting from atop amount. This includes various skills such as riding, jousting, and even being able to be effective while in flight.

While this concentration is not required to mount, it can be used for characters to train jutsu that help offset the difficulties of mounting in less severe situations, , but it should be noted that jutsu cannot remove all difficulties completely. Example jutsu would be something making it easier to aim from when on horseback, or having high-level techniques that help deal with potential motion sickness.

[Valkier]

The "new member bonus" of x2 ryo payout has been revised from "applies to all topics completed within 60 days of registering your first character" to "applies to the first five topics completed by a new member". This potentially limits the maximum bonus, but also removes the stress of rushing to start and complete as many topics as possible and lets people grow into the site and system at their own pace without detriment. This method also allows new members to experiment with various characters without sacrificing the bonus, and allows the bonus to be claimed across multiple characters if they so choose.

Finally! To encourage writing with new members, the first five topics completed by a new member will reward double ryo to all participants. This x2 is applied after all other modifiers. This bonus is member-specific, regardless of how many characters they create.

[Valkier]

Staff have discussed and voted to expand the base companion sizes and options. The rule page for companion sizes has been updated here.

• Base pet/companion sizes have increased slightly
• A new perk (Hyper) has been added which functions similarly to the Gigantism ability
• The perk and ability can be stacked for a combined increase to achieve much larger summons/pets
• A small disclaimer has been added regarding size. Just because a creature is bigger, it doesn't mean it is faster, stronger, or tougher in a competitive scenario, and should be roleplayed responsibly. Physical attributes are still only defined by stats, not size.

These changes have also been carried across to Kaerujutsu for the Body Genma in the following format:

Kaerujutsu Rank	Maximum Creation Size Limits
D–B	up to 15x15x15 m (standard companion size limits)
A	up to 50x50x50m (companion size limits with either Gigantism ability or Hyper perk in effect)
S	up to 100x100x100 m (companion size limits with both Gigantism ability and Hyper perk in effect)

This table has been added to the Body Genma archive page here. Current owners can amend to include this if they wish.

[Valkier]

Organisations and mercenary NPC's have received a few quick tweaks:

• Orgs should now keep track of ryo donations per member character (to track access to unlockable org jutsu/equipment/npc's)
• Orgs should now keep track of ryo invested into NPCs for the same purpose
• Org NPC's (aka Mercenary NPC's) now recieve a discount on jutsu and stats, instead of an increase (+2 cost changed to -2 cost).

Updates have been made to the Organizations and Teams and Companions/Henchmen rule pages.

[Valkier]

The 2) Stats and How they Work has been revised to include an additional clarification regarding relative stat checks within techniques:

jutsu and abilities that contain stat checks (e.g. "this jutsu effects anyone with a [strength] lower than the user's") are never absolute in their effects unless there is a large relative stat difference (10 or more). Simply having 1-2 stats lower than the check threshold does not mean you are unavoidably subjected to the maximum effect of the technique, but would instead be somewhat resistant.

[Valkier]

Hi everyone! Weapon Crafting and Enchanting have been updated. See the new rules and archive here viewtopic.php?f=82&t=8342669&p=4187441#p4187441

Valk — Today at 1:06 PM
Hi all, I noticed that we didn't mention Organ Transplant in the above announcement about crafting rules -- please note it received a small tweak to bring it more in line with the other crafting skills. OT now only requires the [Iijutsu] conc and an S-rank pyramid of either Arts of Medicine taijutsu OR Iijutsu ninjutsu (instead of both, as previously written). This means it's obtainable without requiring so many concs.

[Valkier]

CEOnu — Today at 7:47 PM
The Arms Dealer Perk has been updated to:
Arms Dealer || 5% off the cost of all weapons purchases (to a maximum of 50% off when combined with other discounts)

When scaled it is 10% instead of 5%.

[Valkier]

The new elemental strength & weakness chart has been updated and linked to in the ninjutsu rules
The elemental interaction has been clarified in the same rules:

When two elements interact that have a strong/weak relationship, the weak element is treated as having 5 less strength.

This means that elemental interactions remain important at the high end of the stat scale.

[Niro]

Hi everyone,

Some changes to Equipment and Organizations today!

Equipment is first up.

Going forward, Equipment will have requirements to wear. Weapons will require Strength equal to 2/3rds of its Strength to properly wield it and Armor will require Endurance equal to 2/3rds of its Strength to wear with ease. Using either without the appropriate stat requirement will cause a debuff. A Speed debuff will occur when wielding Weapons without the proper Strength and a Strength debuff will occur when wearing Armor without the proper Endurance. These debuffs will be equal to half the difference of the required Strength of the weapon or armor, per weapon or armor piece. In addition, Armor will have a flat +75 ryo per piece if one wishes it to have the 2.5x Defensive jutsu bonus and needs to be made of a suitable material for its strength. A 10 Str cloak is fine but a 50 Str cloak is not.

Examples:

Akira wields a sword with 50 strength but only has 25 str. Akira would suffer a -4 spd debuff while using the sword.

Bakugo wears a chest piece and gauntlets with 50 str and has 30 end. Bakugo would suffer a -2 str per piece for a total of -4 str debuff.

Organizations are undergoing some changes as well.

Caps are being introduced to the amount of equipment and jutsu PCs can have from Organization Equipment and Jutsu. Character sheets will now have two rank-dependent counters (village rank for Village Ninja, power rank for Missing Ninja,) for how many ryo worth of organization jutsu and equipment they can take scaling on character rank. In lieu of this, donation requirements to unlock org jutsu (collectively) and equipment (individually) are being altered to 1/2 the purchase costs for both.

The Grand Five Villages will get 0/500 ryo added to their tracker to incorporate the base "Become a village" requirements for 'free', as if they started at the same level as a player-made village. Village Kages (or other Representatives) can add Ryo to the Village Organizations at the end of every Quarter (Jan-March, April-June, July-September, October-December) based on a 1/5th rate of the payout of relevant gradings. They may backdate current gradings, if they wish to do the work.

[Niro]

More announcements!

Substitution Jutsu is undergoing a slight change. Previously, one could not use their own chakra to substitute with. Going forward, as long as the object fits the size requirements, it can be made of one's own chakra to substitute with.

PvP Events - Battle Tribunal

After the ongoing Chuunin Exams, PvP events will have a panel of three judges to determine rulings in the event they are needed. These judges will be determined by lottery. When the lotteries are posted, the volunteers must meet the following criteria:

• Not participating in the ongoing PvP Event
• 250 Forum Posts

3 Judges will be picked at random with 2 Alternatives

Judges and Alternatives will be paid 30 Ryo for their efforts at the end of the PvP event.

In the event a judge is making obviously biased calls, they can be pulled from being able to volunteer indefinitely. For example, if I’m ruling on a situation with Onu participating and I consistently disagree on any call that benefits him that everyone else is on the same page on without clear explanation, I can be replaced by an Alternate and unable to be able to volunteer as a judge in the future.

[Niro]

War changes for any future battles along with org NPC changes

Companions no matter their stats count as 1 participant towards site max participants

Companions can have up to C-rank natural equipment but higher ranks has to be tied to ability. E.g, tough skin, sharp claws, poison, venom, etc.

Org S-Rank NPCs can access pinnacle skills

Discord war threads will have 3 roles: observer - no talking perms, participant and judge - talking perms. War threads will have 1 thread for participant and judge only to talk and and 1 thread for discussion for all to talk

Surprise attack means only village/country being invaded can respond. No time to marshal allies. Declaration of war means allies of both invading and defending countries can respond. Time to marshal allies.

[Ace Trainer]

Relatively minor that only currently impacts a handful of people but good information to have:

X-rank jutsu are, for all intents, normal jutsu. Their only difference is that they have expanded ranges, sizes, areas of effect, or effects that are otherwise unattainable. This includes the case of defenses for organizations - a jutsu that creates a giant rain cloud *could* exist to a limited size and effect, and scaling that up to X-rank allows it to cover miles. A defense that unleashes 500 all-terrain vehicles that leave fire in their tracks is not a jutsu and can’t be classified as X-rank.

This means if you currently have defenses that operate like that, you should update them to be normal. Staff is going to discuss ways to representing troops, movement, and machines/weapons of war for organizations as there appears to be some interest for it but as it right now it serves only as narrative purpose.
