2018 Site Updates/Tweaks

Hey all,



We have made slight changes to the enchantment guide, such as rewording the descriptions, as well as highlighted Intelligence requirements for enchantment grades as well as significantly decreased pricing. If you have registered an enchantment, please review the update and adjust accordingly.

In addition, we added a new feature into the Stat Boosting Rules regarding Taijutsu boosts. Found at the very bottom, the change is such:

Stay tuned for more updates down the road!

Heya,



Changes have been made to general pricing in the Shinobi Marketplace and Shinobi Hardware and Goods. More specifically, the prices of Appliances have been decreased significantly to become more affordable. Check them out: Hardware and Goods and Marketplace



Also, we have made a major update to the Chemistry system. As of today, Drugs, Poisons, and Medicines all have a base yield of 3 dosages upon creation, as opposed to the single dosage. We believe this will help incorporate Chemistry much more easily into the site as well as giving Chemists and Ijutsu users a fair shot at selling product without going completely bankrupt making a stock. They have been highlighted at the bottom of each template in their respective fields, which can be found HERE


As always, stay tuned for more updates

Update Time:


Due to a recent poll, as of today we will be implementing a Fluid Timeline. For those who do not know, our current system follows a linear timeline which means your character can only be at one place at a time. A Fluid Timeline means you can have up to three in-real-time topics with your character. This means you can, in a sense, be in more than one place without the need for other methods.

We have also updated our rules to reflect this as well. Information about buffs/debuffs being affected by this, combat, and traveling can all be found Here and Har. I will say that this is our first time experimenting with this, so if you have any concerns or questions we will try out best to assist that way.


Stay tuned for moar updates

Hello hello,



The recent quarterly activity check has come to an end. Please check the roster to see what new positions may have opened. In addition to this activity check, both villages Sunagakure and Iwagakure have been closed for the time being.



Stay Frosty

Major Update Time!


We have decided as staff that the Intelligence stat could use a little oompf. As it is currently, the stat serves very little direct combat use. It is primarily sought out by people with Fuuinjutsu, Genjutsu, or Chemistry to aide in their skill, though has little part in a character's life without those skills. Our goal is to make Intelligence a stat that serves in combat and outside of its supplementary use. So here is what is going to change:

1.) The Precog perk initially obtained by Perception will be moved to Intelligence.

We feel something like Precog, which is essentially being "one step ahead of your opponent" belongs more strongly towards Intel rather than being perceptive of your environment.

2.) Intelligence will become a major role in breaking Genjutsu.

As it currently stands, only Perception is required to break Genjutsu. We not only buff the important of having higher Intelligence to break Genjutsu, but allow an additional perk when having superior intelligence to your opponent. Perception is still required to realize you're in a Genjutsu, and with that your methods of breaking it depends on your Intelligence stat.

Being at a 2-tier disadvantage to the Genjutsu user's intelligence makes the Genjutsu Kai or Pain method cost +1 in rank, otherwise Kai/pain is equal to the technique's rank. If your intel is high enough to know the technique you can use its weakness to your advantage. Lastly, if your Intelligence is two tiers greater than your opponent's you can break the Genjutsu at -1 the cost in Kai/pain.

3.) We will be strictly enforcing Intelligence debuffs.

Most importantly, when learning technique outside of your class using the Intelligence perk. Technique learned this method will be "forgotten" when encountered with a heavy Intelligence debuff. However, technique learned by a sensei or anybody with competent Intelligence will still remain. This, in part, increases the benefit of being taught as well.  


This is the gist of the update. Edits to our Perception and Intelligence rules will be implemented to reflect the new changes. As always, these rules can be found  here.


As we understand, this is a major update that may potentially affect your character's overall build. As a result, we will allow a one-time freebie to re-accolade your skills and stats due to this update. If you wish to do so, make an update in your character's update sheet letting us know which stats or skills you plan on moving around.



If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact any of us through PM or Discord, or leave your thoughts in the Suggestions forum.


Stay cool

Minor Updates

1. Made a few minor adjustments/clarifications to the Ijutsu Skill. Those who know Ijutsu may create up to B Rank Poisons and Medicines.

2. Added some additional ways to get Renown. These include defeating Unique NPCs as well as finding a village and securing an alliance.

Be cool,

Minor Update

We have edited the class progression and update rules concerning techniques. If your class is high enough to where you no longer need a word count to learn techniques you may make a one time universal technique claim. This means that you automatically learn and can use canon techniques of that rank without having to make updates for it. However, this does not extend to custom jutsu.

For example, if you are A-Class you may make a one time universal technique claim for all canon B-Ranked Jutsu. If you want to use a B-Ranked canon technique you may now do so without making an additional update as it would be covered under the universal technique claim. However, if you made a custom B-Ranked jutsu that was approved you would still need to make an update for it. You would not need to make a post training the custom as it does not require a word count but you would still need to make the update letting staff know you have acquired a new custom jutsu.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask ^^

Be cool,

Minor Update

All Clans that were previously locked to Suna and Iwa are now considered unaffiliated. The recent instability and political collapse of both villages has led to a refugee crisis. Clans found in each village may be registered to any village as of now.

Be cool,

Update regarding Activity:


This is a minor update that has been added to the rules. The edit entails: if you register a character and do not make your first post within the three weeks upon approval, your character will be removed from the roster and treated as if they never existed.

Note: This is ONLY if you have never made your first IC post with that character. Otherwise, the standard activity rules will apply.

Update Regarding Renown:


After almost a year it has come to our attention that generating a sizeable amount of renown is a grueling, lengthy task. Seeing as the highest renown currently is only 150, we have decided to do two things to fix this:


1.) For Chuunin and Jounin you may now claim the minimum renown described by your rank. This would mean if you are a Chuunin you may begin with 750 renown. If you are a Jounin you will begin with 3000 renown.

2.) We have amended the values of certain actions that increase renown, as well as added a few more actions that yield renown. These inflated values will help increase the generation of renown and make it a less tedious process.



As of now if you are a Jounin or Chuunin you may claim your base renown. For everybody including Chuunin and Jounin you may adjust your renown claimed in the past to reflect the recent inflation. Please be sure to post everything regarding this update in your Character Update and have it approved by a staff member before role-playing it.

As always, the rules regarding renown can be found here

Thank you and stay tuned for more.

48 Hour rules have undergone a slight clarification:

-Once a post has been made, players have 48 hours to reply to it. After that time has passed, whatever actions occurring in that post are considered successful. Players are then unable to interrupt or react to it in any way thereafter, save acknowledging that it happened. When in a post order, each player's turn is 48 hours long. If 48 hours has elapsed and a player has not posted then they have lost their chance to post that turn. They may not post for that turn without the other player or players' permission. Note that the player whose 48 hours has elapsed may not post even if the other player or players have not yet posted either.

Made a slight tweak to the Genjutsu Rules to add this caveat:

Keep in mind that while your Intelligence may be high enough to have general information on the Genjutsu technique being used against you, you may not use Intelligence to substitute Perception for the purpose of realizing you are in a Genjutsu. General information on a genjutsu does not grant you the ability to perceive that you are in one. Once you have determined you are in a genjutsu only then can you use your Intelligence stat to determine which illusion is at work and if it has any specific weaknesses.

Made a slight adjustment/clarification to how freeform manipulation techniques work on the site. This includes things like Kazehana Magnet Release, Chinoike Blood/Iron Liquid Manipulation, and Water Heavens Convergence. Note that all these techniques operate at a speed/coordination that is one tier below the user's base coordination. Techniques, unique abilities, or items that increase the user's coordination do not affect one's freeform manipulation speed. Techniques, unique abilities, or items that wish to boost one's freeform manipulation capabilities most specify that they are doing so and are thus evaluated on that basis.

Update to the https://gladiusnarutorp.forumotion.com/t99-the-shinobi-ranks#6878to clarify registering as a Jounin

Everyone welcome Copycat/Sakata/Cherry Blossom as our newest member of staff. Copycat joins us as our new Registration Moderator. Welcome aboard Copy!

Rules regarding chakra cost reduction perks have been added to the Stamina stat rules. They can be found here under the Stamina stat spoiler. Note that it has been clarified that chakra cost reductions do not stack and the amount of reductions you can receive at a given time has been limited as well. If you have any UAs that do not assume this rule clarification you may post an update seeking to change accordingly so long as the change is pertinent to this new rule.

Just a note to everyone. Going forward repeateable missions may only be done once per user per month
No doing the same mission on a daily or weekly basces. Gotta mix it up

Made a slight edit to Kuchiyose in the skills section to help clear things up about how many contracts a person can have and of what kind with or without the skill

The following has been added to the Limit Break Point Rules:


"These points are distributed at the registration of your character, and once a point is spent, it is gone forever. There may be opportunities to acquire more points, but these cases are extremely rare, so use your points wisely. At registration you may distribute your points how ever you see fit although once you do so you may not change the configuration again. A character is allowed a lifetime amount of 9 Limit Break points and may not ever have more than 3 points in each category."

Because of this rule change we are allowing a two week grace period during which any person can change their character's Limit Break Point distribution. Be sure to do it during this period because once it ends you may not change your distribution!

Kiri has now hit its population cap of 20 and will be closed for registration tempoarily
