Welcome to Gaia! ::

My concern/suggestion involves summoning. I suppose It's something I shouldn't worry about yet but it leaves me to ponder. The Hojo clan having a close relationship with squids and adopting many of their characteristics and natural skill sets would imply that there were sentient squid/cephalopods if not wise squid/cephalopod that could provide some form of tutelage in regards to their way. This is merely a two cents suggestion but I feel because of this there should be a squid summon of some sort in the Aquatic section or to make things interesting have the clan consider the Hachibi as one the Hojo clan's main sources of inking knowledge. I would create my own but the summoning rules clearly dictate that summoning's are preset so I post my concern/suggestion here. emotion_awesome Also a lot of the images are mia.

Goody Goody emotion_dowant . It seems the guild has gone through some form of revamp recently or in the past and I'm uncertain who falls under the "authority" of certain areas anymore. Checking crew activity Jaxadrill's recent post was Oct 11th of this month. I sent a pm for updating of the Bloodline list. I'm unsure if he is on hiatus seeing as it seems a lot of individuals are returning from hiatus recently.

I have a question and an input at the same time. There are some puppets that are sold in Takumi, or so I've read in the puppet thread, can a puppet user sell the plans to merchants to make them available to all other puppet users? If not, this could be a pretty cool thing to have; just a thought.

Would it be possible to adapt a given Fuunin jutsu like "Kuchiyose • Aian Meiden [ Summoning • Iron Maiden ]" to work with ulterior objects to trap your pray in?

Say custom puppets or puppets made trough the smiting system to facilitate the effects of the fuunin as long as it's leaned. I've this concept of making "Iron Maiden" inspired puppets to work along with this jutsu that give chase and completes the jutsu upon capture, but I'm not sure if the jutsu can be adapted this way with out customs or just work off the original.

For this Formless Style thing, can my locked Formless Style be the Daishō? Also, where can I find the information about this smithing stuff?

ΦCeremonial Blend 032
Rank B
The ink will undergo great alteration, causing it to become a deep purple color. This ink is applied to the Hojo clan member or an ally, rather than an opponent. The ink increases the muscle endurance of the person it is applied to by 50%, allowing excelled physical maneuvering. However, because it is composed mainly of chakra, it does not last very long.

This skill never properly explains what exactly falls under excelled physical maneuvering. Common sense would dictate, Muscle Endurance= Stamina, Strength, Maneuverability, and Reflexes.

Also from Attacking Shogun stance in Kasai
increases the effectiveness of all offensive technique, but decreases the effectiveness of all defensive techniques.: The extent it never brought up. It it by rank? By modifier?

Since Kasai also used 'Locking' The Formula of 'Jing Shen Jie Fang' may be best also applied to Kasai.

Also, I realize we've been using the descriptive system modifiers of (slightly, mildly, moderately, heavily, greatly, supremely). However, I cannot find a comprehensive list of what these increase solidly, rather I've just been collecting statements from styles to comprise a list.
So Far:
Strength~ From Upper Body Strength From Kasai and Fuu No Odachi
Agility~ From Akira Style
Power~ From Tanisoko, Assumed to be exactly as Strength
Speed ~ From Tanisoko Skill: Dexterity: Two Halves
Evasion~ From Basai Bagua assumed to be the same as Agility
Move in tight and confined spaces~From Basai Bagua assumed to be the same as agility.
Stability~ From Jing Shen Jie Fang
Mobility~ From Jing Shen Jie Fang Assumed to be the same as agility.
Sight~ From Uwame
Reflexes~ From Kiss of Flesh and Steel and Shintō Musō-ryū
I've also discovered other descriptors like

Dramatically increased from: Tame Za Kyokudo. Where do those fall in the system. More importantly Is this even a system? In other words are there exchanges such as.

Strength vs Stability
Agility vs Reflexes
Strength vs Evasion

If there is a thread with a comprehensive list of what can be increased and their interactions with each other that would be lovely. If one already exists a link to it would be helpful seeing as I cannot find it.
