Kouta Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 What do the new sealless rules mean for the currently approved Rasengan? Will someone need to remake that? Or is its legendary quest status used to make it immune to such changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Also does this mean all old techniques which utilize seal-less currently need re-approval now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrstrk14 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Also does this mean all old techniques which utilize seal-less currently need re-approval now? Yes, unless they somehow miraculously fit the new rules by a stroke of luck. Most likely the answer is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Is it all right if we just edit the technique to include seals now? I'd rather not have to send it all through the approval process since some of my work just got moved over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrstrk14 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes, but a staff member still needs to look it over. You can't edit something after approval without a staff stamp. If you want, make the edit then PM myself or another staff member to go give it a stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsu Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Such Techniques that are just having seals added to a previously sealless tech, will they need only one stamp or the full gambit? Edit: I caught that right after I posted, and didnt get a chance to edit this. Edited September 3, 2012 by Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Update for the sealless jutsu. If you have a jutsu that is sealless and instead of resubbing it would rather just make it use seals and keep everything else the exact same, please send cntrstrk14 the link to the technique in question and he will fix it without the need for a re-approval. The technique will stay 100% the same except for the removal of the sealless effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dowhatnow Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Is Sealless now an effect that should be considered in JP calculations? I understand it has its stat cost raised by 50%, but how does this affect JP, if at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrstrk14 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yes it affects JP. Think of it like the AoE cost differences. Its just another calculation to finding the total cost of a technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Do advanced systems cover skills that are similar to bloodlines but not there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhap Sodos Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Example? Rule of Thumb: If it has a clause like "Cannot be activated/used with Bloodline, Gates, Sage Mode, etc." it's an Advanced System. If it doesn't, it's not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 In the blocking rules it says ghost damage can't be blocked... so what does ward do exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrstrk14 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 1. It allows you to "Take half damage with no dodge roll"; so block. 2. You mean Dispel. 3. If an ability contradicts a rule, the ability is either A.) Out of date or B.) Take priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Skills like cursed seal or some power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhap Sodos Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 By Example, I meant "Do you have a specific skill or set of skills you are confused about and can link to?" Cursed Seals aren't a defined system in current NA, and the few that currently do exist were made on a Seal by Seal basis. If they do not have any sort of clause that [again] says something along the lines of "This skill cannot be used with a Bloodline or the Celestial Gates" than it is not automatically considered to be an Advanced System. If a Cursed Seal does say that it cannot be used with a Bloodline, etc., than it is considered an Advanced System. Just like it is possible to have a Bloodline that isn't considered an Advanced Systems [these are generally passive bloodlines and are not as powerful as a result]. Any questions or concerns about specific skill/s can be linked to and clarified/edited to reflect this system change. Also, please remember that your character can know more than one Advanced System at a time - a character could have an Activated Bloodline, the Celestial Gates, and Sennin Mode. They just can't use them at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dowhatnow Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 With the introduction of Genjutsu Archetypes, would this and this need to have their own "Archetype" created before they can be approved? If so, where would I go about doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrstrk14 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 You could make it a skill archetype, but you don't NEED to. Archetypes are going to be difficult to get approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Will archetypes have defensive skills against them similar to Resistance Mastery or Defensive Martial Artist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 For damage no, for stat drains it's entirely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 How are status effects going to work with the new speed system. For example if Ren got two turns of bound arms before and he had three turns over his opponent he would be able to act on his last turn. Now it seems that even though he would be three times faster than someone he would have to wait two turns which would be six actions for him. Also since you can only have additional main phase or setup phases are te amount of (small) weapons one can pull out during the setup phase going to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrstrk14 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 You do not get additional PHASES. You get additional ACTIONS within those phases. This is important because something that Stuns you will mean you skip all actions you would get in that Main Phase. This all takes place in a single turn, so if you have Bound Paired Arms like you said, you would have it for the entire turn no matter how many actions you got in the phase. And yes, this means you can pull out or draw additional weapons and junk in the Setup Phase if you choose to have a second Setup Phase action. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
