Ink, Steel, & Fallen Stone Clones

[cntrstrk14]

• Sumi Bunshin no Jutsu | Ink Clone | 墨分身の術
Type: Ninjutsu [Clone | Ink]
Rank: Jounin
Cost: 100 Chakra + 50x Chakra
Effect: Each Ink Clone has 80 Health, 25% of the user's Chakra & Stamina, and 10% of the user's remaining stats. Ink Clones may have a maximum of two (2) Offensive Actions in their Main Phase. In their Setup Phase, the creator may sacrifice any number of Ink Clones they control to reduce the cost of an Ink technique in their Main Phase by y, where y is the combined remaining Health of the sacrificed Ink Clones. Maximum of six (6) clones may be created.
Description: Born from the love of calligraphy and artistry, the Ink Clone is a manifestation of the lifeblood of art itself. Though the clones themselves are relatively weak, the goal is to overwhelm your opponent with individual clones and then use their remaining resources to amplify the user's Sumijutsu attacks. Due to their bodies being comprised of Ink, many Sumijutsu artists in the past have used their clones as resources for other attacks, sacrificing them in order to gain a surprise advantage on their opponent.
Requirement: Sumijutsu Artist
Points: 9

 
 

• Kōton Bunshin no Jutsu | Steel Clone | 鋼分身の術
Type: Ninjutsu [Clone | Steel]
Rank: Jounin
Cost: 250x Chakra
Effect: Each Steel Clone has 200 Health, 50% of the user's remaining stats. Each clone that is created chooses 'Sword' or 'Shield'. If 'Sword' is chosen the clone is considered to be equipped with a level 20 medium weapon with the attribute 'Free Handed'. This weapon's damage is modified by both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. If 'Shield' is chosen, the clone's block range is increased by 10. During their Setup Phase a clone may choose to change between 'Sword' or 'Shield'. Maximum of two (2) clones may be created.
Description: With its origins in Iwagakure no Sato, this technique uses steel to create a replica of the creator. Making use of the steel's strength, this clone proves to be much more sturdy than in addition to having some tricks that utilize their metal construction. Steel Clones often have forged steel armor or weapons secured to their arms, making them an especially dangerous variations of clone. In most scenarios the user will rely on the solitary strength of these clones rather than numbers to defeat their opponent.

• Doton Hijutsu; Ochitarumono no Iwagakure Gundan | Secret Earth Release; Army of the Fallen Stone | 堕ちたる者の岩隠れ軍団
Type: Ninjutsu [Hijutsu | Clone | Earth | Iwagakure]
Rank: Sennin
Cost: 300 Chakra + 30x Chakra
Effect: Each Fallen Stone Clone has 45 Health, 10% of the user's Chakra & Stamina, and 10% of the user's remaining stats. Fallen Stone Clones may have a maximum of three (3) Offensive Actions in their Main Phase. Minimum of five (5) clones and Maximum of twenty (20) clones may be created.
Description: A secret Ninjutsu passed down through the most powerful and respected ninja of the Country of Earth. It is a hijutsu that allows the user to create their own specialized army out of the soil itself. This cloning technique differs from most because the clones do not actually resemble the user, and because of such they cannot be confused with them. Each clone is clearly made of stone, a mixture of gray and brown rock, and each one is separate from the others. Each clone takes the form of one of twenty fallen heroes of Iwagakure no Sato, a list of which included historical figures and/or those close to the user. It is said that when this technique was first developed it was made so that those who had already fallen in battle could once again fight alongside their comrades.
Points: 13

Ink & Steel clones are for general use, I only ask that you notify me if you intend to take them so I can keep a record in case they need updates. Army of the Fallen Stone is a secret technique of Iwagakure no Sato, and may only be taught. The skill 'Free Handed' may be found here.

Ink Clones: 100 + 90x at base for just the stats, but I'm thinking they'll need to be 100x apiece with the little effect. With that in mind 100 + 100x, would make 4 the maximum you could create with the Jonin 500 CP cap. 10 SP.

Steel Clones: 240x for just the stats, with the effect, these would cost 440x a clone. Meaning that you'd definitely only be able to create 1 without breaking the cap. 9 JP

Army Of Fallen Stone: This looks pretty okay. 45 HP might be better, since if you divide the 300 from the attacks up among the 20 possible, it gives +15 HP to each clone.

Ink Clones: I think you got the costs wrong here and thought I was doing 25% for both stat pools. Also, unsure of the thought process behind the +100 cost for the ability. The ability uses health (which is equal to chakra cost of technique) as the reduction component. If a clone costs 100+150x & a Main Phase, why would I then use it to reduce a cost by 80 chakra? I just spent 250 on the clone and an action.

 

 

Steel Clones: I'm not a huge fan of this effect honestly. I took HP off the clone to pay for this ability since its 100% telegraphed and basically says "don't attack this with a weapon you idiot" instead of actually doing the effect. But that just means it will never come up since only an idiot would risk weapon destruction to kill it. Will probably rework this effect.

 

EDIT: Edited the ability of these clones. Creating a weapon with ninjutsu costs 4 chakra per 3 levels at Jounin as per unwritten rules, or ~$26 for a level 20 medium weapon. To cover this and the cost of the 'Free Handed' attribute I upped the price of the clones by 10 Chakra and lowered their HP to 200 instead of 250. I was unsure of how to price the +10 block range, but I thought it roughly equivalent to the weapon. I am open to discuss this point.

 

 

Army of Fallen Stone: HP Adjusted. I think I rounded up since if you make less than 20 clones the HP goes up for each. But working for the maximum number of clones seems smart. Will apply the same thought process to the Ink Clones to move them to 70 HP I believe once we sort that out.
