I agree.~ So a little background. I'm lazy but industrious. So when I feel something is too much work for me to consistently do it. I build tools to do the heavy lifting for me! I'm more than happy to share these tools I make too. So other people can benefit from them. Joker's colorcoder: Link A handy colorcoding script that does the dialogue colorcoding for you! Joker's character assistant: Link This is a fully equipped excel-based character sheet you can use to easily create and maintain a character sheet! Joker's technique creator: Link A simple excel-based tool you can use to create techniques in bulk.

I did mention the scroll is consumed when used. Which is primarily for balancing reasons. If you want a lore justification, let's say techniques are constantly improved, so once someone learned something from a scroll it's considered outdated. I added the SP ratios for writing the scrolls, thanks for letting me know! As for the words written on the discounts. That's meant for skills and techniques that have required training posts associated with them (like Rasengan. Or Sage-mode.) If you manage to get a hold of a scroll containing this technique or skill. You can discount the words required to learn them by the ratios mentioned above. If there's no training post associated with them, you can consume the scroll and instantly learn a skill or technique. Skill scrolls are thus pretty rare and not really a great 'buy' as you can buy skills already to begin with. They're however a good alternative for people who want specific Jounin taught techniques or skills without having to go through a jounin, instead learning it from a skill or technique. And for a character who's built into learning a lot of skills and techniques, this could be a good economical option. To sell scrolls on the market. (And for criminals, to obtain scrolls with forbidden/hidenjutsu and sell those!) As for copying scrolls. That's an interesting idea. I'll think on it and perhaps add the functionality.

Joker's magnificent colorcoding script! Download link I included the sourcecode for obvious reasons. Just credit me if you take it to new heights! The download link is currently on my Puush which means it'll expire in a few months. Let me know if anyone intends to use this and I'll put up a permanent download link. Instructions: Sourcecode: import re string = open('post.txt').read() # read the entire file content cfile = open('character.txt').read() #Read character #select a color variable=raw_input('which character are you using?\n') print variable ini=cfile.find(variable)+(len(variable)+1) rest=cfile[ini:] search_enter=rest.find('\n') color=str(rest[:search_enter]) # define your tags here opening_tag = '[color=%s]' % (color) closing_tag = '[/color]' matches = re.findall(r'\"(.+?)\"',string) # match text between two quotes for m in matches: string = string.replace('\"%s\"' % (m), '\"%s%s%s\"' % (opening_tag, m, closing_tag)) # override text to include tags print string # write tagged text to file with open('post.txt', 'w') as f: f.write(string)

Adjusted enhancement back to old draft as per KC's suggestion. (only triggers on jutsu that already buff your stats.)

The healing is slightly worse than the Mokuton actually. And this has a precedent too. Ratios here. I think you derped on math. 10+x% = take x% from cost first, then do +10 to the result. Since + comes after * and x% with X being 6 technically says 100/100*6 + 10 The 480 stats on a flesh element isn't - that - nuts. Especially when you consider that's the absolute top-line benefits at max rank. That's 4 levels and 4 levels isn't going to make the difference. That said, I didn't intend this to stack. What if I add a limitation it may only trigger once per turn? And if I lower it to a maximum of 420? (x*y*25)

Added new restrictions according to Peter's suggestion. If 60% ends up super strong I'm fine with a nerf down to 45% at 15% per rank for 3 ranks later down the line or something along those lines. But I don't feel it's that outrageous with it's current limitations.

The stats picked you may allocate points in. For each rank you may add another variable and distribute the stats you gain at your leisure. Changed the way Control works after deliberating with KC.

Kuton Enhancement: Editted based on skype conversation Control: I don't feel 60% at max rank is steep for a limited skill like that.

No more I say!

Web archives are awesome. As far as I know there's no working stat chart generator on the internet at the moment. Except for this archive I had saved! You're welcome. <3

Done

Thank you. Changed accordingly!

Skill Name: Librarian | Rank [-] Bloodline: N/A Description: 'How to throw a Kunai: For Dummies' Effect: Users with this skill are allowed to write Skill or Technique-scrolls, that teach the reader step by step how to perform a certain technique. The user must posses the technique or Skill to be able to create a scroll for it. These scrolls are created at a post (20 words) per JP ratio. 15 words per JP at rank two. 10 words per JP at rank 3. At rank one, the title of the scroll must be preceded by the tag: [poor]. At rank two, the title must be preceded by the tag: [good]. At rank three, the scroll must be preceded by the tag: [Excellent]. Skill scrolls are written at the same ratio but for SP rather than JP. These scrolls can be consumed to learn the technique inscribed. This jutsu may be counted as a 'jounin taught technique' or a regular jutsu with the following JP cost ratios: [Poor] 1:1 [Good] 1:1 - 1 (-20% training posts if applicable.) [Excellent] 1:1 - 2 (-40% training posts if applicable.) Skill scrolls do not have favorable discounts, however they may still be consumed as jounin taught skills or lower training posts according to the above ratios. At rank three, users may write down techniques they do not themselves posses. This involves watching someone else (player character) perform a certain technique for three consecutive turns. The writer must clearly telegraph in replies they are noting down the specifics of the techniques. The scroll must be completed (the post count fulfilled.) During the user's three well telegraphed responses. Or the user will have failed to write down the technique and create a scroll. Cost: 1 Ranks: 3 Writers notes: Just a muse/idea I had. A skill that plays into potential jutsu stealing. And the teacher/student mechanic. Gives scribes a nice flavorful thing to do. As well as village veterans who wish to pass down their craft. It also provides a new item you can sell on the market as a profession. And potentially be hunted for if these scrolls posses forbidden or (secret) Hidenjutsu.

Skill Name: False Sensor Bloodline: Chitoka Clan Skill: Kuton Description: The users of the Flesh Release are often called under the misnomer 'sensor' because their abilities, and the result of their abilities are very similar to that of a sensor. Effect: Path of the sensor can be picked as an advanced path regardless of the base path. Cost: 1

Fixed accordingly
