Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh, of course it would be Senbon or Kunai. I wouldn't even bother if I planned on shooting anything else. The powering would be springs/launchers, or steam in the Dwemer constructs. Powering for the actual machines would be similar to a clockwork toy, except it would be self sustaining after a point.

Go with +3/10 for now. The demon modifiers haven't actually been added to the threads yet, and I'm not sure what they will be in the end.

If , in your elemental question, you're referring to the Raijuu's elemental boost, it's just the elemental type. So yes, all bonuses and penalties. I can't recall if I wrote the type out on those pages or not, but if I did they will be edited to reflect the new type.

The answer to that is simply don't take both types. They're not meant to be combined, and they WILL penalize each other. Both are designed for specialization, you can't take both and expect to automatically be great at two things.

.....Yes it does. You're not supposed to be extra awesome at ninjutsu as an art, and just as well extra awesome at using bloodline abilities. Why? Because that would be broken and ridiculous. Not only that, but each of those two types is built as a specialization as HInote said, meaning of course background wise it would mean your rpc spent more time training in either one of those aspects. This is designed to keep people (apparently you were the first one to actually complain about this, ever in fact.) from taking both to make a ridiculous rpc from the get go. Given the fact that bloodlines and clans are already diverse, you shouldn't even need both of those types.

Go to school. Spend your entire life in school focused entirely on one subject. PE, Math, Language, what have you. And I do mean your entire life. Skip those other classes. If you have to attend them, spend your entire time there thinking about the other class you really liked.

Now, graduate. You're out of school, it's time to go looking for a job. The jobs requiring only your chosen subject are all taken, so you have to look for something else. Are you going to be good enough at it to get the job? No. You're really not. Because you wanted to be the best at that one subject, all your other subjects suffered.

Now, I'm not sure about some of your arguments.

"Any second element until you reach C rank would be dismissed by a stiff breeze since it isn't even strong enough to be categorized as a ninja technique because it is weaker than an academy student's technique."

Unless you have a combination bloodline, you don't GET a second element until C rank. And besides that, the penalty is only -1. It would take a -2 to drop a D rank below E. Assuming of course your calculations weren't made with using both types in mind, in which case, yes, that is true. You can't make an extremely focused character without losing out in other areas.

If a Hyouton user is automatically meant to be great at Suiton, then there would be a bonus to it in the bloodline. Something like that is not taken into account in any other area of the guild. And yes, if a Hyouton user chose to take Elemental Control Suiton, their Hyouton would suffer. They chose to focus on their control over water rather than ice.

The point you seem to be missing, is that intentional choice. By taking one of those types, you are saying "I want to be good at A, not B.". It is a focus. If you want to be good at both, you choose a different type.

The most confusing thing is your choice of bloodline for an example. Hyouton isn't covered by Ability type, as it's an elemental bloodline. If you wanted to boost your bloodline abilities, you'd need Elemental Control [Hyouton].

Now, this thread is for questions. Your question has been answered. If you want to continue this as a debate, please move it to the proper forum.

Hard to say honestly... If you go by the "Official" Naruto timeline, we're around the Clan War era. Shinobi clans and bloodlines have been around for a long time, but we're the first to try making an entire village and standardized training system.

I'm a bit inclined to say you could, but at the same time there's still the possibility of someone else coming along later and also wanting to use puppets, without knowing you'd claimed the "Title" of creator of the art. So I suppose I'd have to say no to that. You could certainly still have her design all her own puppet tech and say that's her own designs though. Be a good strategy for making a bit of coin if you think people will be interested in buying the stuff from you.

Yeah, you can make them as personal tech. But be aware that as time goes on someone else could make something similar as guildwide or if your design is sold enough times someone could start replicating it.

Puppets are considered custom technology, so yeah. You'll need to design the entire thing and post it for approval. Or if you're feeling extra complicated, design part modules that can be combined to create a puppet. just make sure to check the limitations of the chakra string jutsu before you get too invested, to be sure you're not building a puppet you can't actually use.
