Chakra Pools, Costs and Other Rules

Here at Shinobi Gaiden, there will probably be slight similarities and differences when it comes to paying for skill uses. To get started, first you should know your chakra pools. They are equal to each other in value and vary based on your rank.

D Rank: 100
C Rank: 200
B Rank: 250
A Rank: 350
S Rank: 450

Chakra pools can be trained to be larger through WC training. For every 100 WC you dedicate towards the training, you will gain 10 points. Naturally if you're training chakra the training will need to be dedicated to stamina training. If you're training chakra, it will need to be about chakra. D rank can train up to 50 points, C rank can train up to 100 points, B rank can train up to 150 points and so on.

The amount of chakra a jutsu costs is based off of the rank. Reductions may apply, but these are the base costs.

E Rank: 5
D Rank: 15
C Rank: 25
B Rank: 35
A Rank: 50
S Rank: 100

Jutsu with a duration should have an upkeep paid. This upkeep is equal to 50% of the jutsu's original cost. This upkeep should be paid every other turn starting the turn after the skill was first used.

When applying reductions, just add the reductions together before doing any reducing.

Upon exerting one's self too much, the user will begin to suffer in strength and certain stats may be reduced. Below are the listings for stat reductions upon reaching a certain amount of chakra or stamina (these do not stack)

Chakra:

When using any skills within a post be sure to include what skills are being used. You do not have to include how much chakra you have remaining, however you should keep track of it in order not to over-exert.

Elements that the user have are based on their character. Every character has an elemental affinity, however other elements can be learned as the user ranks up. At D Rank the user may have one basic element, at B Rank they can train a second and begin learning advanced releases should they have the KKG. There is no limit on the number of advanced releases one can have, however you must have the basic elements that make it up and the DNA from the founding clan KKG. At Jounin a third and final basic element can be trained.While the first basic element comes free the others must be trained. A forth and fifth basic element can be gained upon receiving event items, but will be generally rare.

For those with a KKG involving advanced elements such as Lava Release or Wood Release, exceptions will be made. The user is able to gain their first basic element at D rank, second basic element at C rank and third basic element at A Rank, still.

First: No Training Required
Second: 500 Words
Third: 2,500 Words
Fourth: Event
Fifth: Event

All advanced releases using two elements will require 2,000 Words to train. All containing three or more will require 3,000 Words to train.

After creating a character, you become eligable for starting bonuses. This means that depending on what rank your character was approved for, you gain these prizes for absolutely no cost. Anything in this list can be saved and used later, inclduing stat points.

D: 8 Stat Points; 500 Ryo; 1 Equip of Equivalent Rank. Stats max out at 5.
C: 12 Stat Points: 1,000 Ryo; 1 Equip of Equivalent Rank. Stats max out at 7.
B: 16 Stat Points ; 1,000 Ryo; 1 Equip of Equivalent Rank. Stats max out at 8.
A: 20 Stat Points; 2,000 Ryo; 1 Equip of Equivalent Rank. Stats max out at 10.
S: 24 Stat Points; 3,000 Ryo; 1 Equip of Equivalent Rank. Stats max out at 10.

Before getting into it, there is a big difference between increasing your Ninja Rank and having a Ninja Title. As for Ninja Titles, these are things llike Genin, Chunin, etc. These are determined completely IC by the Kage. The Kage can give anyone any rank they want. Staff will not interfere. However, they should know that they should be careful as a weak Jounin will be at risk of death. Natually, you can refuse a Title offer from your Kage.

Now there's ranking up. This is your actual Ninja Rank. This allows you to be an S ranked Genin like you all begged for. This is done OOC and is determined by how many missions you have completed. These do not stack, but are instead a total amount that you should have.

C Rank Ninja: 6 D Rank, 2 C Rank
B Rank Ninja: 8 C Rank, 5 B Rank
A Rank Ninja: 11 B Rank, 5 A Rank
S Rank Ninja: 15 A Rank, 8 S Rank

Alternatively from buying Jutsu Scrolls from the general goods store, one can instead train them simply by meeting a WC based on whatever rank they are. This can be done easily however make sure to actually commit the WC to training the jutsu. Don't wanna see 500 words of you waking up int he morning, 500 of you walking to training filed and 500 actually training for a 1500 WC training thread.

D Rank: 500 WC
C Rank: 750 WC
B Rank: 1,000 WC
A Rank: 1,500 WC
S Rank: 2,000 WC
