Water, Sand, and Ice

Maybe there should be creation jutsus to make thesde materials, since so many jutsu require them and sometimes you just aren't around them? And maybe an addition to the equipment section with some containers for the materials, with weight-reducing seals or something.. I mean, water is pretty heavy, so it'd be hard to carry that much around normally. Then again, I might have missed something in the updated PDF..

Creation jutsu is not realistic and there is an epic ability that allows ignoring the material components. Though I do agree with the fact that these elements aren't always around and the ninja's specializing in them can find the jutsus very ineffective in many situations. Maybe there should be say, a penalty or whatever to other jutsus that don't rely on focuses. e.g: penmalty to katon in water environments, penlty to raiton in rocky environments etc.

This suggestions is only to balance out the elemental jutsus. Because raiton for example, improves in water but has no disatvantages (which the ohter jutsus don't have). It's kinda stupid when thinking realisticly but logical when speaking about game mechanics...

Sushi is correct, the ability to do it without the material component is epic--as in, the 3rd did it vs Orochimaru.

But, water does not improve raiton perse (this was discussed on another thread), water just conducts, not amplifies. Hence, penalty, if the GM thinks it's needed, should be imposed thinking on extreme temperatures (lot of heat vs Hyoton, for example), but I don't think that should be an standard Rolling Eyes

I think it's a crapload of extra effort, rules and gametime if you want to instate all of this. Things are as they are. Period. Techniques have components for a reason. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's good, if not chemically and/or physically correct.

The manga did have Suiton: Bakusui Shōha to create water out of nothing...I don't see why that couldn't be included. Would it be too difficult?

Kisame's technique. BotH Kisame and the Second Hokage would have the epic feat Elemental Specialization (Suiton)
