cntrstrk14 Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Ninja Academy 8.0.4() Welcome members!Continuing on with our 8.0 updates, we have some good stuff ready for you today! Official 8.0.x Q&A thread Genjutsu ArchetypesGenjutsu Archetypes have been added to the game! Basically, Genjutsu Archetypes are to Genjutsu what Elements are to Ninjutsu and Styles are to Taijutsu. I could tell you all about it, but it would be easier for you to check it out yourself!Jutsu Rules 5.30; Genjutsu ArchetypesAdvanced SystemsThe addition of Advanced Systems is the official introduction of a set of rules that have been unwritten for a long time. An Advanced System is the name for that "bloodline slot" set of skills that cannot be activated with the Eight Gates or Bloodlines. As more and more types of skills are created and need the clause "Cannot be activated with a bloodline or the eight gates" we decided we needed a way to handle this.In accordance with these changes, the Eight Celestial Gates have been edited to say that they are an Advanced System. As I write this, two moderators are working to clean out the Approved Bloodline section and retro-actively edit any activated bloodlines to say they are Advanced Systems.Check out the rules themselves and feel free to hit up the Q&A thread listed above if you have any questions!Battle System 3.17; Advanced SystemsSecond and Third Characters Updated!Because of the recent experience point change, we have found out rules for a player to obtain a second and third character needed updating. Now you need a character at level 20 to make a second character and a character at level 40 and 20 to make a third. The option for characters beyond a third is now available as well! The rules have been slightly rewored as well as we take this opportunity to clean up in general.Basic Rules 1.08; Second and Third CharactersDeath and Bonuses Updated!Our Death Bonus rules have been rewritten to be more clear in their meaning.
