Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kakashi, Medical-nin, and a few other Ninjas are seen using fuuin in many ways... Why would it die out?

Oh right... they were just extremely powerful fuuin experts that were feared by most of the world...

But fuuin has no limitations, considering time/space ninjutsu is the hardest, and minato kinda bypassed proably a crap load of training, etc, using fuuin as his teleportation markers...

I still don't like the term DICE ROLLS on the jutsus, K. And I think making attack turns into dice rolls is the opposite of what should happen. It's more misleading to people without D20 knowledge.

And the bonuses that points in taijutsu/ninjutsu/medical ninjutsu/weapons/genjutsu give are ridiculous. Considering it takes two points in either Dex or Wis to raise DB by 1, giving people a +2 to hit for ten points is absurd. A +1 would be more than enough. And +1-2 damage for each point!? Are you guys just trying to make fights really short? I can see ten points giving that bonus, but each one is too much.

I feel those need to be toned down. Especially considering that it takes a certain amount of the correlated skill just to learn the jutsu.

I know it was always there K, and I always thought it was dumb. To raise one's DB you must put two points in either Dex or Wis. To raise Attack Bonus you need to either level up for a +1, increase Str or Dex by 1 for a +1 (depending on attack type), or put ten points in the associated skill for a +2.

Basically if player A wanted to focus his character to dodging attacks and placed all his points accordingly, there is no way he could keep up with player B who places all his points in hitting. Just by leveling up player B stays even with player A if player A devotes their stat increases to Dex/Wis. And then if player B adds even a single point to Str, he's instantly got an easier time at hitting player A and there is nothing that player A can do because he can only raise his DB by 3 every two levels, whereas player B can in theory raise his Attack Bonus by 12 every two levels.

By level 4 player B can hit anyone level 10 and below with a 90% hit rate. That's ridiculous.

And your new way of explaining attacks per turn is much more confusing. The way it is now is simple.

Player B's damage would be substantial. Remember that +1-2 damage per point in taijusu? Plus the increase to damage from the increased Str. He'd easily be able to take on level 10's. Until his own Hp (which would be tiny) runs out that is.

If player B is amping Str then grappling isn't going to aid player A, especially since his points are going to Dex/Wis for the DB. The sneak attack is good for one round and then player B uses the round after he's attacked to pummel player A. Or worse, grapple player A.

Tactics or no tactics, too much bonus is being given to hit while DB remains almost useless. Above level 5 even an average rounded character only misses on a natural 1.

Sure you can hide... but once you attack you're open until the next turn unless you use some jutsu to escape. The which I foresee becoming most high level battles...

But since you still take damage from blocking (depending on the level gap) it'd be worth it in most cases to suck up the damage in order to deal more to your opponent.

How did you get the DB of 34? The formula is 10+Dex mod+Wis mod. It'd only be 24. So a level 15 average guy would still have no problem hitting your hypothetical dummy every time. And your proposed new DB formula isn't much better. Your previously stated guy would have a new DB of a whopping 28. And that's rounding up!

What if every X points in acrobatics gave a +1 to DB? I realize that it makes a redundancy of the Dex effect on DB, but no more so than the taijutsu being a redundancy of the Str bonus.

Hello! You're quite the vet xD

As far as timeskipping into chunin-hood.. I just don't see it happening. The time spent as an academy student is meant to help you learn our system. It will be especially beneficial because our system is new xD
