Based off my research, status effect immunity is largely restricted to effects that are integral to bloodlines or to hereditary skills, while this is a large investment for a one off immunity, there's no positive precedent I have yet found that would allow this. A technique can be used to remove those effects, however, and that is a concept we can cost.

Perhaps instead of ignoring them as a free action full stop, make it a free action in the response phase once per battle to remove 'Opening' and/or 'Vulnerable' and add on the rider tag of it prevents you from using response phase jutsu for 2+ turns or something. The actual cost of removing Opening and Vulnerable, well opening is a varied cost so it's hard to pin down with JP but in either case it would soak up a main phase action and a chunk of chakra. I'm not inherently against a once per battle ability moving the main phase action to another phase and reducing/modifying the cost somehow, but as it is currently presented I think it is outside of the realm of what a skill can do.

Hey Princess, you can kill this. Thanks for the advice though.

No worries, moved to dead at user's request.

Or not, dead skills isn;t a valid option to move to for some reason? Will bother tony.
