Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akikimichi/Fuuma. The +8 to Accuracy per 1pt + Reactive Damage = Pwnage. Not to mention you will be hard as s**t to crit and quite capable of criting everyone else, so it's a double holy shyt. Also you just have a random, ha in your face I can heal myself of crits even if you get them on me cause I'm naturally better with medicine then you are, in YO FACE. o-o

@Spork, as soon as you fix that 1 thing, your profile is good to go and you can RP. I'll officially sticky it and lock it whenever I log on tomorrow or if another mod decides to do it for me.... but I'm finally running on empty now and I need to go to sleep... Ciao~


Everybody wish me luck on my interview... BTW, someone kick Riflemen in the a** and make him post <3 G'Night~

And you did it just in time. Accepted and Completed~ Congratulations, and thank you <3

Just got back from work at 1am but I can answer this.

1) It depends.
Damage and accuracy are now seperate.
Agility = Taijutsu Accuracy / Dodging / Stealthing.
Strength = Taijutsu damage / Grappeling (and breaking some grapples)
Seal Speed = Ninjutsu and Genjutsu Accuracy
Seal Strength = Ninjutsu and Genjutsu Damage
Intelligence = Allows for higher level combo strings and allows you to learn more Jutsu. Healing / Awareness.
Wp = Resistance to Genjutsu Damage, removing de-buffs, etc.
Toughness = Resistance to Taijutsu and Ninjutsu damage / Ability to take more fatigue (for taijutsu moves)

Stamina = Health / Resistance to criticals.
Chakra = Obvious
Focusing = Restoration of Chakra.

For a nin focused person your most important stats to be straight up combat focused are:
Seal Strength, Seal Speed, Chakra.
Focusing will matter a bit, and Intelligence might be a good idea to take so that you can string more "in conjunctions" (which are combo's now) together for more powerful attacks.

You can find a far more fleshed out explanation of every stat and exactly how they are used here:
Rules > Stats

Anyways on that note let me give a personal welcome to our new members. I see Antonio is working his a** off as usual to help everyone (bravo man seriously you've been a ton of help).

If you are familiar with the old guild a lot of combat basics have remained similar. The core differences are that stats have been broken up so that we can split up tests among more than just 3 attributes.
What this does is prevents stacking from being nearly as effective (no longer will putting all points in one stat make you super accurate and do a ton of damage, rather you'll have to divide them lest you be very strong but very innacurate or vice versa).

We've also changed buffs to limit one shots and ridiculous numbers lowering that power gap between players quite significantly.
We've changed the rule set to make "in conjunction" more limited than it was previously, once again this is to tone down some of the insane combo's as well as making stat distribution once again more important than just stacking in one stat.

The split stats have also allowed for new strategies in battle, such as stealthing, tracking, healing, etc all to play very important roles (and thus making medic's and sensor nin actually useful unlike before where only strikers were really needed). You can now hide from your foes in another village, they actually have to make checks to find out where you went if you decided to cover your tracks and go under cover, etc which I'm hoping will bring a whole new element to assassinations, war, missing nin being bigger threats, etc.

Lastly one of the biggest changes is that Chakra and Stamina have been split. No longer are they one stat "chakra". Instead you can use plenty of Jutsu without actually physically harming yourself, this makes medics very useful and makes focusing more important (the 1 buff thing keeps focusing from being buffed to an insane auto-full trick either, not to mention that auto-focusing got nixed).
Overall combat plays familiar, but had a complete overhaul of what stats determined what things. The way numbers are figured out in combat however is nigh exactly the same if not slightly simpler since there's less factors (just one stat, one jutsu buff, one item buff, and the accuracy of the jutsu)

Not to discourage you away from your stat setup but please keep in mind that in this guild being stacked in one stat and ignoring the others will not go as easily as it did in NFSv1. When creating your profile and setting up stats try to imagine you are creating a character for an RPG that you have -never- played or at least have very minimal experience playing ie you dont know exactly what you are gonna be up against in the game. You would not want to stack too heavily into one area and leave a huge weakness in another because that would ultimately be your down fall. It's best to figure out what your main focus is going to be and placing higher importance on it while still giving a modest amount of attention to the other supportive stats.
