K Mitsuhide Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) The Komodo Clan! Dragon TamerClan Skill: Ryūshi [Required]Description: Any Komodo shinobi has a pet, which they hatch and raise from birth. Their painstaking devotion allows for their dragons to follow them in their Way of the Ninja. The connection between pet and master is very powerful, and a Komodo shinobi would be just lost without their pet as their pet would be without them. If their dragon were to die, the shinobi would probably spiral into a crippling depression, and wouldn't see a reason to live on. However, when their pet is alive and functioning, their abilities combined can be a very, very potent force.Effect: Can speak and understand their pet, and most other Komodo Dragons. May take one 'Ryūshi Clan Dragon' as a small pet. Must also complete a minimum 500 word training thread to connect with their pet. May take this skill for no SP cost in lieu of village bonus skills.Cost: -1 Tongue of a Reptile; Strength of Smell Clan Skill: Ryūshi [Required]Description: Komodo clan members have a long, forked tongue - just like their pets. Much as how a dog relies on its nose, these shinobi rely upon their tongues. Despite their poor eyesight, however, these shinobi can gauge their surroundings just as well as any normal human - possibly even better...Effect: Immune to Impaired Eyesight as long as they do not suffer Impaired Smell. This skill must also be taken by Ryūshi clan pets.Cost: -1 Impaired Eyesight: Accuracy dropped by 10%, any technique/skill/bloodline that specifically uses the eyes must pay twice the cost (stamina/chakra) to use it. If the said tech/skill/bloodline does not have a cost it cannot be used.Max Duration: 3 turnsDP: 15/turn Edited June 13, 2015 by K Mitsuhide
PandaMattMatt Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Just checking, in your second skill, when you say "Blind is treated as Impaired Eyesight as long as they do not suffer Impaired Smell." does that mean that if you are hit with blind, you only suffer the effects of Impaired Eyesight? Or that you're immune to it just as you are to Impaired Eyesight?
K Mitsuhide Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I need to fix that wording - they are not immune to blind, but instead suffer impaired eyesight. Let me know if the wording is still unclear, or if you have any suggestions to improve the wording itself. Edited May 11, 2015 by K Mitsuhide
PandaMattMatt Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Changed the final skill to only be immune to Impaired Eyesight. I'm fine with the -1 cost as well. APPROVED
K Mitsuhide Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Added a clause to the Dragon Tamer skill's effects to allow for the skill to cost 0 SP at the cost of elemental skill.
Hardcore Skittlez Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 They're called village "bonus skills" now, I believe- but that's a silly hair to split for this one. Approved
