Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright here is a detail explanation of the stats and the fighting system.

Strength & Dexterity

Both of these parameters have to deal with physical attacks. Strength has to do with the individual's overall physical power. This has to deal with the damage an individual can deal out with his or her own fists. Dexterity has to do with the individual's ability to use weapons and items to do physical damage. If you want your character to be a brawler then increasing strength would be more important to you then dexterity. If you want your character to be a sword master then increasing dexterity would be more important to you then strength. If you want your character to be balanced in both then you should work on improving both of them at the same time. Strength can come in handy on certain missions while dexterity may come in handy in other missions.

Agility & Defense

Agility and defense go hand in hand with each other like strength and dexterity. Agility has to deal with how fast your character can run, dodge, and react. The more agility you have the more chance you have to get away from opponents attacks. Being faster then your opponent can help in many other crucial situations. Sometimes when two competitors strength are equally matched, speed will be the deciding factor in fights. Defense is also very important since high enough defense can cancel out certain attacks. With defense, sometimes speed isn't important since they can simply block an attack and launch a counter attack faster then someone who took the time to dodge. When a fighter can block their opponents attacks and launch counterattacks repetitively, they can turn the tide of a fight in their favor. Both stat parameters are important parts of battle strategy on offensive and defensive terms.

Chakra

Jutsus require a toll of chakra to be able to be used. Although being able to physically attack opponents is useful, a few jutsus could turn the tide of a fight quicker then a sword can in some cases. The higher your Chakra, the more jutsus you are able to perform.

Endurance!

Endurance is very important in fights and is more or less your character's health. When your endurance reaches zero your character will not automatically die but will become very fatigue and unable to do much movement. If you are attacked and hit while your Endurance is at zero you will be knocked out unless hit in a critical location, in that case you would just die. Whenever engaged in combat your character will lose -1 Endurance on each of his/her turns. If your character has time to rest then he/she will gain +2 Endurance. (Note: you will never be able to pass your natural endurance level by resting and if you rest your character must be resting for the whole post.) Some techniques require your character to drain more endurance then usual. The general but not mandatory drain of being damaged is -5 for light damage; -10 for medium damage; -15 for high damage; -25 for very high damage. Once again this is not mandatory but if you get hit you should be subtracting extra endurance fairly. This shouldn't be a hard process at all if you use the HUD system( a post style that shows your info). Please use common sense when fighting and understand that we can't assign definite numbers for damage because these are things that are determined through role-play.

Breaking Limits
Each time your character gains a rank you'll be given the chance to increase the maximum capacity of one stat parameter by 50 points. Meaning if you have Chakra: 80/100 and you break the limit by getting a jounin rank then you can increase it to Chakra 80/150. There are also other ways of getting higher parameter capacities throughout the whole guild so make sure you keep you eyes open.
