So the revamp we've been talking about on the discord is complete. Contrary to our previous revamps, this was a simplification of rules. We trimmed a lot of fat in various places and simplified as best we could. We did our best to balance keeping the rules in tact, while also getting rid of extra hurdles you have to jump through to be an active participant on the forum. This includes things like a smaller stat system, simplifying how ninjutsu functions, getting rid of plot boards entirely and the like. I'm not going to go into it in depth here because you can just read the new rules. If a section looks familiar, thats probably because its mostly the same! Easy.
There are a few things that have been updated.
- The archive rework we were working on, will still be worked on. The archives will be updated over the course of the coming weeks to have jutsu of the new standard in it.
The Genma are being fixed as I type this, so there will be a slight lag but they should be up by the end of this week.- The hunting rules have not been updated yet as our lovely mod ShinobiTruth will be rewriting the system entirely in order to reward you more for hunting....and surviving the hunt.
a) Let you know that this revamp is posted
b) Let you know what to do now
So. A. The Revamp has been posted. Yay.
B.
Switching over to the new system will be relatively straightforward. There will be a soft switch and a full switch.
Soft Switch The Soft Switch is pretty simple, and doesn't require you to actually do anything. Its automatically in effect starting now. This is what it entails.
- Stat Changes
- Your genjutsu and ninjutsu stats no longer have a function. They just sit there, uselessly.
- Your Stamina stat is now functionally your Chakra Pool stat.
- Your Taijutsu stat is now functionaly your Endurance stat.
- Your Instinct Stat is now functionally your Willpower stat.
- This means until you revamp, anything you do will run off the new stat system, and you'll just pretend like you have your new stats.
- Your jutsu now switch over to control unless the stated speed and strength is greater than what it would be if it was off of control.
- If your jutsu has 10 speed and strength and you have 30 Control, that jutsu now has up to 30 Speed and Strength when you use it until you full switch.
- If your jutsu has 20 Speed and Strength and you have 15 Control, the jutsu keeps its 20 Speed and Strength.
However, if you want to do a full switch, you get two options.
1. You can do a direct switch. To do this all you'll do is post in this thread with your stat total and your total points earned (87/362), and someone will respond with your new stat total. Then you can go through and update your jutsu to meet the new control settings. If you ave jutsu that are no longer necessary, we ask that in your revamp mod you simply convert the jutsu into points, not turn it into a new jutsu. This is to expedite the process. Additionally, the rules on complexity means that some jutsu may no longer be possible due to being too complex, if this is the case it will be handled on a case by case basis.
2. If you feel the integrity of your character has been compromised due to these changes, you can reach out to a staff member through PM or on the discord, and explain why, and staff will let you know if you can have a redo token to redo the character. Since genjutsu, ninjutsu and taijutsu all changed in some way due to this change, its very much possible that certain designs are just not feasible anymore. If this is the case we will happily work with you.
FINALLY, your Plot Boards subforum will remain in-tact, but defunct, for a while, so that you can collect any information you may need out of it. Afterwards it will be moved somewhere else, but still accessible, just in case!
I'm sure this leaves a lot of questions to be asked, and answered. Feel free to ask them in this thread, or on discord.
Have fun.

P.S Genma have been updated. Please peruse them and if you see any mistakes feel free to let me know and I'l correct it ASAP. -Niro
