iKaze Arashi The whole thing (for the Curse Seal of Heaven) seems unorganized to me. It talks about rolling dice at various places and times, thrown in with various other things. It makes it difficult to understand, although after re-reading it thousands of times I get the basic concept. And can I submit a character, then afterwards apply for a cursemark (it says nothing about no restriction on applying for the CS after character creation)? It's kind of hard to know what part of the dice roll system is confusing if you don't point out what exactly is confusing about it. If you would like for me to explain it on Skype, my SN is Deil_Grist. Even if you don't have a mic or webcam, I can talk to you on it and you can reply in the gaia IM. I find my ideas are sometimes clearer when I can explain them in multiple ways, which is what actually talking is good for. And yes, it's a medium-highly advanced system, but the alternative was borderline childish and dissatisfying. Cursemarks can be applied for at any time, but can only actually be acquired after character creation is complete, and I would suggest being a maxed-out genin at least before going on the quest for one.

@Augs: Nice idea, although the Camels store their water inside, so they would either have to spit, or puke it out in a way for the user to use the water. Unless the summoning would have a special jutsu, or a special summoning among the camels would be for storing and transporting water to the user.

camel summnonig? boo!
pandas are much much more fluffy 3nodding
how is the summoning system going to work out? is it going to be like a regular ninjutsu when summoning an animal, or are the rules going to be different (in terms of chakra)
and concerning Sage Mode: is it going to be allowed during the beginning stages of roleplaying (not exactly right now, but if my character "somehow" got super uber strong and became an S-Rank shinobi....."somehow".....would i be allowed to use sage mode? or are you waiting a while before being implemented, similar to the Curse Marks.
oh, and is Sage Mode an S-Rank? like, i know you have to be a certain strength to do it, but the guild, from what i've seen so far, isn't super strict on ranks, which in my opinion, is one of the things that make this guild so interesting. would a Special Jounin be allowed to have Sage mode? does rank even matter when it comes to sage mode?

1. White Water Lilly E-rank summons --> 5 chakra points D-rank summons --> 7 chakra points C-rank summons --> 10 chakra points B-rank summons --> 15 chakra points A-rank summons --> 20 chakra points S-rank summons --> 40 chakra points
2. Sage Mode is still not up for use as the MODs specified for that job are working on it.
However, if you read the Summoning rules, you can pick up something for the Sage Mode. Rule number four tells us something about your rank question:
White Water Lilly 4. The original creator of a contract reserves the right to hold onto the Sage seat till the creator's RPC reaches the appropriate rank. Till then an NPC sage (controlled by crew) will fill the slot.
So, there is a rank needed for the Sage Mode, contact White Water Lilly for more details.
Either way, remember that you need 'Great Chakra Reserves' as Primary and you have to apply for the Sage Mode separately.

Just an idea, and I realize that this will probably sound a little self-serving, but hear me out. So I was thinking about how the [TRAIN] ability works for Tai-specialists, specifically training Endurance, and I was wondering how one would go about just training Endurance. I would have assumed that Endurance isn't really something you would train by itself, it seems to me that your Endurance would naturally increase through training of other kinds, so I was wondering if perhaps instead of devoting 50 posts to training Endurance specifically, when you do a total of 100 training posts for other stats, your Endurance goes up as well.
This way all Tai-specialists would essentially get the Endurance rank up, and therefore a stamina cost reduction, at Chuunin, and maybe instead of having an option to train all four stats once and an option to train one stat twice and a second stat once, there would be the option to train three stats once and receive the benefit for training Endurance just the once, while if you choose to train just two stats, or the same stat twice, then you would get the benefit for training Endurance twice, meaning a better stamina cost reduction at the price of few stat increases.
Just throwing it out there.

Just throwing it out there. The reason we don't do that is it would essentially make the cost reduction free, and we've already given the class a ton by allowing stats to be increased with [train]. My idea of stamina training would be marathons or calisthenics (more reps, less effort per rep because it's just your own body weight).

@Deil: Fair enough, I just thought I would suggest it, I didn't necessarily think it would actually happen blaugh on a side note Quote: Sensor ninja have an innate bonus to detect the chakra signatures of those around them at all times. They are the only ninja who can intuit another shinobi's position or movement purely by detecting their chakra. In all situations regarding [Stealth], Sensor ninja act as if they were one rank higher then their actual rank. Sensor ninja can also innately detect any ninja that does not have the stealth specialty or the [stealth] ability active that is in topic as them. Information gathered by the sensor includes: Quote: Note: Chakra Control is one of the specialties on this list that allows the user to control the flow of chakra in the body more easily. If a shinobi has Chakra Control and Sensor as his/her two specialties, then the user gains +1 effective rank to detecting ninja with the Stealth specialty. Was the first part supposed to be removed, so that sensors only gain that +1 if they have chakra control as well, or would they get +2 if they also had chakra control. Also, regarding changes to specialties and what not, are people going to be allowed to change their specialty if it was edited, not necessarily saying I plan to, just wondering?

Nope, because if you'll look the specialty gives +1 to detecting the [stealth] class ability, but having chakra control gives you +1 to detecting the stealth specialty. It's plus one to each, not plus one FOR each.

Deil Grist Second Question: We haven't talked about it, but I would say no. All that changed form before is you lost the doubling of [stealth]'s weakness range in exchange for extending the range of Sensor to the entire topic, we more clearly defined what it means to sense someone's chakra, and we added the thing about chakra control. At best I would say asking to replace your other specialty to get chakra control would be acceptable, but you need to keep Sensor if you already have it. And the same goes for the Stealth specialty.

You might be able to change one or two things, but don't expect to be able to do an RPC overhaul with a character you've already started roleplaying with. We probably won't ever make a change drastic enough to justify that.

iBakuhatsu_Kay-kun So, we can no longer mark our enemies as Sensors? O_O Why would you need to if you can memorize chakra signatures you've sensed and your range extends over the entire topic? Without waiting a post to [focus] I might add.
