Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm not sure we need the level system, honestly. I'll create a finished system and see what they think, but I'm not entirely sure what the need for levels would be when we already have the stats and ranks in place.

lol I understand where you are coming from Rex but at the same time we wanted to scale down the oveepowerdness of the characters people roleplay as. Everyone seems to forget that naruto had the 9 tailed beast which is the strongest thus making him a different case from the rest of the ninja in allowing him to use a jounin rank jutsu when he was a genin due to the vast chakra level he possessed.

I would prefer a system with caps for rank that way a genin wouldn't be able to fight on the same level as a Sannin. Its just unreasonable unless they have a demon in y opinion. If genin took just one entire day to post for training, they could advance their character to combat the hokage and they doesn't really sit well with me.

If that were true, then what is the point of pursuing rank-ups at all? If there is no reward for ranking up, then why do people host Chuunin exams if no one feels like they're going to be rewarded for it.

While your system may be fine and true in the Naruto world, we still need to give people a purpose to rank up. There still need to be higher-ups in the village, and if everyone can just become stupidly OP as a Genin...then most people really won't feel like participating in anything with the word 'promotion' as a reward, because it will literally give them nothing.

No...I highly disagree with the levels. They add too much fluff, and they make the system much more cumbersome than it needs to be. Giving out a reward for ranking up isn't a bad thing. Because in truth, a Chuunin should be stronger than a Genin, and a Jounin should be stronger than a Chuunin. It perfectly falls within the lines of Naruto logic, and why we would try so hard to make everyone equal is completely beyond me.

I understand that some people have oodles of time to post and get super OP in a super short amount of time. But we also have to consider the people that don't have as much free time. Your system throws anyone who doesn't have a solid 4-5 hours a day for posting to the sharks, because they will never be able to keep up with the people that sit here and post for hours on end.

So with that in mind, I recommend that you leave the idea of levels under the carpet.

Gah your missing my point bud. All it would take is for someone to waste one day of making post after post to get their stat increase. and since you don't have any caps as to what a genin could stop at giving him a limiter. Thus if I made a genin character and posted 500 posts in one day. I could become formidable against the hokage. If I can up my stats endlessly just form posting then I would do just that. All it would take is some time infront of the computer.

Uzumaki clan specialized in sealing techniques. And what Kakashi/Iruka about naruto was. "Due to the beast being present Naruto cannot fully control his own chakra level causing discharge in his own chakra resulting in poorly made jutsu's. Until he can control his own chakra flow, the 9 tailed beast's chakra will overpower his own causing an overflow."

So the entire first season until naruto got out of the chuunin exams was pretty much the 9 tailed beast. Theres no way even a genin with massive chakra reserves could use a summon jutsu to summon someone like gammabunta.

Although like I said awhile ago in a post is im not a fan of any kind of stat/chakra control system. But it will be needed. I dont understand how people just ignore the physicality law in roleplaying so they can win a fight.

Gah, ill just stop posting here and let you hash out what you want to do. And let wolf decide what system base he wants to go with. Id prefer a stat cap once you get to a certain point. But its whatever.

but that's my entire point lol. When I first joined NUR I joined rock. There were only 5 ninja in total in the village. Once I got the gobi demon I defected and joined the cloud. After being a genin for 6 months I went rogue. And since there is no limiter on rank in the rogue area I typed myself to learn 57 jutsu in one day. It is very tedious but if you ive a role player a loophole they will milk it until it runs dry.

I'm just going to jump in for a second. I think that yes it is important to grow at your own pace without caps, but I have to agree with Secks that to wide of a system prevents the point in rank ups in general. Maybe instead you could limit the types of jutsu learned? That way, while a Genin can be strong they can only use certain amounts of jutsu. For example, maybe a Genin can learn as many Genin ranked jutsu as he wants but is limited on chuunin and possibly only one Jonin ranked jutsu. But through ranking up,you increase the amount of jutsu you are able to learn. But training cannot increase this ( making this the only difference from intelligence.)

That way, characters can grow as much as they want stat wise; however, by only being able to use Genin and mostly chuunin ranked jutsu, characters have to rely more on planning and combination.

Skipping back to the beginning, I actually really liked the restriction on the number of jutsu used per post. But maybe, along with rank, as you rank up seals are simplified and more jutsu can be performed. This way, their could be a clear difference in jutsu strength, and maybe even tai/weapon style strength.

Going even further back ( sorry on the back wards approach) maybe intelligence can be used as a counter to genjutsu. My problem with genjutsu is that getting out of it is often very, don't know how to say it, problematic. Using intelligence as a counter could probably offer a legitimate excuse to how you escape it.

I don't like the idea of one RPC being able to cast multiple jutsu in one post. Why cant we keep it this way? you know one jutsu for one RPC per post, Shadow clones can cast one jutsu as well if the shadow clone jutsu is used. The idea of being able to cast multi-jutsu could be a bit overpowering in my opinion. But im not opposed to it if I find a syste that could work for it.
