That's one of the good things about living in a low density area such as SE WI (compared to, say, northern Illinios); families with low income and a large number of people can go and sign up for different christmas charity organizations, which in turn recieve donations from companies or families well off.

How awesome is to come here on Holydays and get a new update!?
By the way, may I suggest to adapt Raikage's raiton? Though It's like Nappa's skills from DBZ.

More about the new update: The chakra reserve system is almost done, and I'm looking into making a new character and technique sheet for you guys.
Stay tuned. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Working on Archmage and Hierophant type classes for chakra users and medics. For now, their names are Burninator and Governator. I dearly hope they remain so.
Also might make a class for physical dudes, if I ever find something good. Suggestions welcome. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

You know, if those names stick, I'll definitely be making characters that will utilize those classes. All ninja villages need a good Governator around. _________________ ZeronosVega's Creation Index |

I agree.
On that note, other than mastery and classes, does anyone have any idea on how to note someone's specialization in a specific technique type? _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Feats like Technique Focus and X-jutsu Adept? Without context it's difficult to say exactly, but with context it may spoil something. A quandary. _________________ Be careful when you follow the masses, because sometimes the 'm' is silent. |

I may have to change Technique Focus to something a little more like Spell focus. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Not a terrible idea. Having it only apply to a single technique isn't very appealing until you get an uber save or die (or similar) jutsu.
My suggestion: Get rid of Technique Focus entirely and add in a X-jutsu Focus that applies to a certain subtype of technique, like Ninjutsu Focus (Katon) or Genjutsu Focus (Phantasm). Doesn't work too well with Taijutsu, though... _________________ Be careful when you follow the masses, because sometimes the 'm' is silent. |

This would be easier if I hadn't done away with power resistance.
In fact, I'll probably being back Chakra Resistance, if only for a more consistent set of rules for chakra armors. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

More newstuffs. Still no news on Chakra Resistance or a new character sheet, but I'll work it out somehow. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

You know... I didn't even notice the Shinobi Adept class until just now reading your change log. I don't know if you've gotten any other feedback on it, but I like it a lot. _________________ Be careful when you follow the masses, because sometimes the 'm' is silent. |

The only feedback I got on the Shinobi Adept class was "When did this get here? Why wasn't this in the changelog?"
But hey, thanks. I appreciate that. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

I think I might have noticed the class before, but I must have mistaken it for something else. Still, I'm liking the class. Might have to make a character which puts levels into it. _________________ ZeronosVega's Creation Index |
