Sealless Justu & Sealing Prowess

[cntrstrk14]

 

Seal-less Jutsu
A dangerous yet powerful sealing method in which the ninja has the deep knowledge and ability to shape chakra imprinted into the base of their skull. The ninja is given a small seal on their occipital lobe, often beneath the hair where it is not visible. With the seal the ninja is able to shape chakra without the need of hand seals, having such intrinsic knowledge of all possible seals at the forefront of their mind. Many ninja that have gone through the operation to obtain this seal claim that closing their eyes briefly helps them see the seals and preform them. This is, however, unnecessary. Due to the location and nature of this seal, it often results in dangerous side effects that many opt to not risk.
Effect: All Ninjutsu and Genjutsu preformed by this character are considered to be Seal-less and never require the use of the hands. When a character takes this skill they lose 1000 EXP. EXP lost this way does not cause the character to lose levels.
Cost: -5

 

 

 

 

Sealing Prowess
Through deep familiarity with a technique a ninja is able to master it thoroughly, to the point that it is becomes second nature to them. The ninja can unleash techniques with devastating power without the need for hand seals or complex concentration. It becomes as easy and as natural as breathing.
Effect: When this skill is taken the user may choose either one jutsu or 30 JP worth of jutsu. These jutsu are logged with this skill. Chosen jutsu preformed by this character are considered to be Seal-less. This skill has no rank limit.
Cost: -2

Notes
- This is a revamp of this creation.

- These will be available for general use as long as I am contacted, so I can contact them if I update it.

Seal-less jutsu: could probably cost -4 rather than -5.

 

Sealing Prowess: In the case of declaring one jutsu, how does this interact with evolving jutsu? I almost feel as though this one could apply to any jutsu, but to require that the jutsu be used x(I'd say... 15? 20?) times in combat before it could be considered seal-less. It's a bit of a mess to keep track of, but would be the most flavorful and I feel representative of what the skill is. 'sides, lot of people have a ton of extra reserve posts these days that can be used for precisely this sort of thing.

I prefer it at -5, I thought about it a lot. I feel overall though that it is more than twice as good as two handed seals. I'd be willing to discuss this cost though as I was on the fence between -5 and -4 if you had some similar reasoning.

 

All jutsu, even evolving jutsu, have to have unique names. It would function the same way that Full Opening does. Also, I'm a bit confused. It can be used with any jutsu. Do you mean that once you take this it could be used for any jutsu that you have used x times? If so, I do agree that it would be a headache to keep track of. This skill's target is players who want to have options when they are bound arms or bound paired arms, or just want it for cool role play with their super techniques. I'm unsure if 20 JP is the right mark though, I was thinking 20JP or 30JP. It's actually more important to me to keep this at -2 SP and adjust the power than to allow it to creep down to -1 SP though.

We talked about this the other night on skype, changes made include: 2nd skill was bumped from 20jp to 30jp. Yeah, that's about it.

After discussing the limitations of Seal-less and rewriting the rules section, I wanted to give Seal-less Jutsu an update. First, I put the hyphen in the skill name. Secondly, I wanted to clarify that taking these skills allows the player to use them without the use of their hands. This was the intention of Seal-less Jutsu from the start, that you could do 'Mind Magic' with this hefty priced skill. So making sure it works as intended!
