Stop limiting certain Taijutsu styles. Please.

Quite simply there are Taijutsu styles that have strange restrictions. Brawler being unable to learn any other style that doesn't mesh with a "berserker" type. Red Leg being unable to learn any techs that involves the arms. Musha Shukke Fuu being unable to learn any weapon based styles.

These kind of restrictions, I feel, should not exist. These kind of restrictions do not exist with either Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, the only thing that limits what you can learn is how many slots you have to spend on the endeavor. These restrictions, which are mostly just because of the fluff of a style, limit the flexibility of a Taijutsu Specialist, who are frankly already at a disadvantage to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu users due to a lack of balance with the 3 main resources (Movements, Handseals, and Natural Resistance). As you get closer to Ninjutsu/Genjutsu master your Handseals and NR go up, as you get closer to Taijutsu master only your movements go up.

So giving Taijutsu users some more flexibility I feel wouldn't be a problem. Being able to combine things like Red Leg and BK, or Musha Shukke Fu and Mounted Combat, doesn't really seem like anything close to a game breaker to me. In fact I kind of challenge you to find a pair of styles that combine so well that they can take down an equal ranked Genmaster or Ninmaster without the opponent putting up a serious fight.

So yeah, it'd be awesome to take those restrictions that prevent styles from being mixed together away, and just let those Taijutsu enthusiasts really let loose, so can we make this happen?

Sorry but I explained in those specific styles why they are restricted. Restrictions are still staying.

Indeed. Styles are limited for reasons. Monks are not supposed to use any sort of cutting techniques, hence the limitation. A straight up Brawler shouldn't have the finesse for precision movements. Just as an Akimichi can't be a Tsubasa. The wings won't carry them. It's the same reasoning behind limitation in clans and blood lines, some of which do restrict Genjutsu and Ninjutsu.

I'll have you know that there are plenty of monks out there that use blades and have styles that revolve around blades. Just saying.

Just gonna throw my 2 cents here due to being a Red Leg user. Sure there are restrictions yet its a way to make a character practice a unique style while giving up something in return. Hell as a tailor if his hands became injured it would be hazardous. Also they are artist their hands are only meant to create only under server conditions they are allowed to use it to destroy. The restrictions for the said fighting style fits what it is based off of so no need to change it. Anyways just throwing my 2 cents and keeping my mouth shut about the issue.

Some restrictions make sense. Others not so much. Like the Knife style really needs its restrictions taken out to be anything resembling competitive, but Brawler is so powerful in terms of endurance, and has access to strong offensive styles finesse or no, that allowing them to use say...Gyakusatsu would be horrifically powerful.

Yes, Taijutsu is easily the weakest combat type objectively, but you should be able to outpace most high-level jutsu cast timers at equal class level, so it still comes down to which combatant is more clever.

TLDR: Powerful styles SHOULD be restricted in the interest of fairness, weak but fun styles need their restrictions removed so they can see more usage overall.

It double-posted on me. Please remove at your leisure.

I forgot this.

This thing here

There are several monk factions that, in fact, work with the blade. These blades are made particularly for their style.

I think in the interest of staff headaches and Usiels system we should drop this. It is what it is and the Big Man himself has stated why it wont change. you cannot mix water and oil. it doesnt work. and while there are some things, like monks with blades in the real world, in NFRP we dont have the styles for that. your arguing a mute point.

just my two cents
