almondsAndRain Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Hello again! I’m sorry to say that, much like the last technique, this one is also not approvable. There are several reasons for this, but the largest ones are the following two: 1) Genjutsu may not deal physical damage. They have to deal Ghost, Chakra, or Stamina damage. Additionally, Genjutsu techniques have lower damage caps and ratios than Taijutsu techniques do, and this technique bypasses that. 2) This technique is far too versatile. This effectively gives you a free Genjutsu technique for every Taijutsu technique you purchase, even if it does have the requirement of having performed a Taijutsu in the last turn. Once again, I suggest posting about your ideas in #mechanicschat so that people can work with you to bring your ideas into the game. EDIT: Following a discussion with Princess, I retract my complaints. That said, please see my post below! Edited June 28, 2020 by almondsAndRain
almondsAndRain Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Hello again, again! Following a Discord discussion with Princess, your intentions for this technique have been more clear. So my previous complaints are now officially redacted. The wording is in desperate need of a cleanup, however - I ran your technique past a non-Princess moderator last night and they also dismissed it out of hand for appearing to put Taijutsu damage on a Genjutsu technique. Please copy-paste the following instead: Ninja Art; Stamina Refuel Type: Genjutsu [ Time Archetype ]. Rank: Genin. Cost: See effect. Damage: See effect. Effect: The user selects one non-Hybrid Taijutsu technique of Genin rank or lower they performed in their last Main Phase. The user then performs it again, paying its Stamina cost in Chakra. The technique loses all tags when performed in this way. This technique cannot be performed two turns in a row. Description: wordsAndWords. Technique Points: 4. Do not mention that this technique does not do Ghost Damage in the description. That is an effect. Words in the description are only taken into consideration during battles in very rare circumstances. Also, technique / jutsu points are not variable in a technique. As this can affect any Genin Taijutsu, and thus can have a cost up to 80 Chakra, it needs to have a JP cost of 4. Edited June 28, 2020 by almondsAndRain
Saiken, Asashi Posted July 12, 2020 Author Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Thank you very much Almond! I've also had another Time archetype idea, so I will post it in this thread rather than creating a whole new one once I get assistance with the mechanics in discord. Okay, posted it up too.

Yurane Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Stamina Refuel is a no-go. Genjutsu is incapable of doing physical damage, and also has lower damage caps than Taijutsu. As a more fundamental problem, it's also effectively "I have twice as many jutsu of this rank in the form of 1 jutsu". Edited July 12, 2020 by Yurane
