How to Play

[/b]

The World of Naruto

What is in a Role-play?

Player Characters

The Game Master

• Adventure Builder: The Game Master creates adventures for you and any other character who participates in the event.
  
• Narrator: The Game Master sets the pace of the Event and presents challenges and encounters for the characters.
  
• Monster Controller: The Game Master controls creatures, villains, heroes and other characters a Player Character has to battle. They may set the tone depending on other character actions. Remember not everyone plays Good characters in NFRP, and thus the GM controls the actions of the NPCs.
  
• Referee: When it is not clear what should happen next, the GM decides how to apply the rules and adjudicates the story. In battles they determine who wins and who loses. During threads that are non Events there is another type of Referee that must be called in before a battle starts called the Battle Moderator.

The Game Master may control creatures and people in an Event but they are not your advisory. The Game Master’s Job is to provide a framework for Player characters to enjoy and excite them with Role-play. That means challenging the player characters with interesting encounters and tests, keeping the game moving, and applying the rules fairly. Many players find that being a Game Master is the best part of the game.[/ul]

The Story

• Basic Role-play: Threads that have individual value and are different from thread to thread. Basic role-playing threads are meant for individual characters with no Game Masters. These threads allow Players to interact with each other how they wish without any other driving motive of a Game Master. Some people do Missions, some people travel, and others just train.
  
  
• Contentious Missions: Because NFRP is structured off of Naruto there are missions where Ninjas will face other Ninjas. Contentious Missions are simple; someone is winning, and someone is losing. Contentious Missions are missions with two polarizing outcomes depending on who gets what. An example of this is “Ninja Village A is requested to deliver this message across into Country A; Ninja Village B is requested to intercept the message Ninja Village A is delivering before they reach Country A.”
  
  
• Events: These are Role-plays created by Game Masters. They build the challenges while using what is available to them in the Naruto World. They are filled with danger and reward no matter your alignment.

A story can be as simple as introducing yourself with another in a room. It can be as extravagant as finding a monster to vanquish. It can last for a single thread, or stretch out into multiple countries, cities, and beyond.[/ul]

The Dice

[/ul]

How to Play?

[/b]

• Combat Encounters: Battles against opponents either NPCs or PCs. The time length in a Combat Encounter is loosely 6 seconds per post. Each character has the ability to attack, defend, counter, or even stop attacks from occurring. Combat Encounters loosely uses T1 Rules with modifications to fit with Character Progression, and Die Rolls.
  
  
• Noncombat Encounters: These are any other encounter from dealing with traps, puzzles, or talking to people. Noncombat Encounters are the best places for a character to use skills. The time length of Noncombat encounters is variable. It can range between a few seconds to several hours depending on how the Role-players wish to Role-play.

[/ul]

Traveling

[/url] will show you what Countries we have, as well as their locations and other interesting information for each country.[/ul]

Post Order

Number of Threads

• Character can be in 5 threads total.
  
• Can only have 1 Training thread.
  
• Can only have 1 Crafting thread.
  
• Can divide up the 5 threads into Basic Role-play, Contentious Missions, or Events however the player wishes.
  
• Can Train and/or Craft with other players so long as the players are not training or crafting in 2 threads.

[/ul][/ul]

The Core Mechanic

Three Basic Rules

• Simple Rules, Many Exceptions Every Specialism, Jutsu, Technique, and Creature in NFRP lets you break rules in some way. These can be very minor ways: Most characters do not know how to use a Longbow, but a user in the Marksman Fighting Style does. These exceptions also appear in very significant ways: A swing with a sword normally does little damage but a high Class Level character who mastered a sword fighting style can wreck havoc in a single blow. All of these elements are little ways of breaking the rules—and NFRP is filled with these Role-playing Elements.
  
  
• Specific Beats General: If a specific rule contradicts a general rule, the specific rule wins. For example, a general rule states that you can only attack 1 time per movement. But if you have a technique that allows you to attack twice in a single movement you can do so by using this technique. It does not mean that you can use any technique twice in a movement, it just means you can use that technique twice in a movement.
  
  
• Always Round Down Unless otherwise noted, if you wind up with a fraction as the result of a calculation, round down even if the fraction is 1/2 or larger.

Character Depth

[/b]

• As the site is no longer around I am using a more detailed explanation on making a Background. Character Personality in RPG Applications. A Guide to Writing a Successful Role Play Character Biography.
  
  

[/b][/ul]
Very often the players that are new to Character Applications consider the personality to be a very tricky part of their biographies. While personality plays a vital part in making the character interesting to play with, one should be very careful when writing personality. It is in human nature to migrate towards stronger, more capable or weak and completely helpless in the hopes of causing awe or sympathy in other characters, but this can cause a character to become disliked and avoided.

Considered by some as the trickiest part of an RPG application, the personality is oft disconnected from character history, causing the personality to clash with history.

The imbalance due to migration towards these extremes can often be caused by events in a character's history simply for the 'sympathetic shoulder' or 'conqueror of all' moment when required. However, one must find a balance in personality, and make it compliment the past of your character. This does not mean that players should not create murderers or nuns, but no one is born a sinner or a saint.

[/b][/ul]
Before thinking about elaborate personality traits for a character, a player should take the time to consider what he can describe. Creating a list of these key words can be done by looking at the history of a character and major events in said history, such as taking longer to speak, being picked on, having imaginary friends, having a wealthy upbringing, dropping out of college and so forth. All these are things that can be described in detail.

The Creator shouldn't be afraid to think outside the box when decided what to describe. Even losing a teddy bear can be on the lists of basic items to describe. A Wealthy upbringing could cause a character to be unsympathetic to those in need, and blinding to the poorer world while a child with imaginary friends might develop a personality disorder. Never miss any detail - while not all personality traits can be gleaned from character history, most can.

[/b][/ul]
Once a player has an idea of the basic elements he needs to describe his character's personality, he can proceed to add more details. By using the list of basics as mentioned above he can be sure that most areas of personality will be covered by his description. One can even, in good humor, consider Schrodinger's Cat - while wealth might have made him unsympathetic, it could also have made him aware of his ability to help charities. The paradoxes in Personality make writing it so much more interesting.

Don't hesitate to use colorful descriptions. If a character would commit a grisly murder with a smile on his face and a glint in his eye, feeling quite satisfied afterwards, describe it that way. Describing how a character developed some of his personality traits also helps both the creator and other players understand the character better, and makes playing with them more interesting.

Don't be afraid or hold back when writing personality. These descriptions are what make a character unique and interesting, and opens doors for future development. However, a player should be wary of making his character too fantastical or abnormal. A serial killer with two personalities are good, but "Murderous, vile criminal with a lust for death and seventeen co-inhabitants of the mind" sounds almost fantastical, and perhaps a little clinical.

[/b][/ul]
The most common mistake made by players when writing personality is creating a complete imbalance between history and personality. This is the main pitfall where good characters can quickly turn into Mary Sue's or Gary Stu's. If a character experienced something traumatic as a child, it should somehow reflect in their present personality. Perhaps they shy away from a certain type of person, but it should always be under the surface when writing personality. Not everyone can blocked it out completely and recall only when they need a sympathetic shoulder.

Players should also be wary of 'too perfect/too imperfect' descriptions. Not everyone is the successful, natural leader or the weakling constantly in need of guidance and protection. It's finding the balance that makes a character easier to play - going into extremes will quickly cause a character to become limited as to where and when they can be used for play.

While the outline above should help a player to write a personality that will get him accepted on many RP Games, nothing is ever set in stone. As a creator, the player should be creative and try to make his character as unique as he can, but also try to be as believable as possible within the genre the character is being created for.

[/b][/ul]
Must be written within 3 paragraphs for Non-Bloodlimits, and 5 Paragraphs for Bloodlimit characters. For better organization and presentation for the paragraphs, it is advised to keep it between 5 to 6 sentences making up each paragraph. If you have trouble fleshing out personality please take a look at Personality Writing. Also go through alignments as they tend to help with stating what a character may be like.[/li][/ul]

Appearance

• Must describe a person in detail such as face shape (Square, oval, round, triangular, heart-shaped), Skin/Face/Complexion (Freckled, Rosy, Ruddy, Tanned, Wrinkled, or other), Eyes (General information, expressions, shape and size as well as mouth and lips), Hair (Texture/Appearance, Hair Styles, Lots of Hair, Little Hair, Treated Hair, Hair Colors), Facial Hair (Beard, Goatee, Mustache, Sideburns, Five o'clock shadow with adjectives), and Clothing (The fabric, the Bottoms, the Tops, and other). Must be written within 3 paragraphs for Non-Bloodlimits, and 5 Paragraphs for Bloodlimit characters. For better organization and presentation for the paragraphs, it is advised to keep it between 5 to 6 sentences making up each paragraph. If you have trouble you may look at Describing a Person: Adding Details for help.

Background

• As the site is no longer around I am using a more detailed explanation on making a Background. Character History in RPG Applications. A Guide to Writing a Successful Role Play Character Biography.
  
  

[/b][/ul]
Considered by some as the hardest part of an RPG application, the history is the story of the character, and the biggest influence on how the character is played.

Very often the players that are new to Character Applications consider the History to be the hardest part of their biographies. While history can play a part in making the character interesting to play with, one should be very careful when writing out this section. New players often create tragic pasts that do not reflect in the rest of their character biographies.

[/b][/ul]
Before thinking about an elaborate history for a character, a player should take the time to consider how he can divide the history and thus make it easier to write without going overboard. Creating a list of key phrases can be done by starting at the beginning, such as birth, and proceeding to the present moment and location of your character.

Being bullied, dropping out, first date and break up, getting fired and being left at the altar are all interesting to write, but don't be afraid of promotions, becoming a parent or achieving financial freedom. The good and the bad both create the history of a character and a creator should try to stay away from extremes, lest he create a Mary Sue.

Despite this, the player shouldn't be afraid to think outside the box when decided what to write. Not all characters come from the same background, so some might have travelled a lot due to being a military brat, another might have had a thug drive through the wall of his living room because his father is a detective. Those interesting moments are the ones that other players don't forget, drawing them towards this character.

Once a player has an idea of the basic elements he needs write the character history he can proceed to add more details. By using the list of basics as mentioned above he can be sure that most areas of history will be covered by his description. Keep in mind that many of these events will play a part in the development of his personality later, so a creator should do well not to throw in events only for drama or sympathy.

Do not hesitate to use colorful descriptions, literally and figuratively speaking. Every event can be described in detail, including their impact on the character and perhaps even other events that might have followed as part of a chain event. With history, creativity is key, but so is control. Cramming too much into the history and making it too fantastical can also cause other players to lose interest.

[/b][/ul]
As with most other areas of a character profile, extremes should be avoided as much as possible - sticking to reality as much one can makes a character that much more believable, depending on the type of RPG. There are real people who have had quite unlucky lives, being raised on the streets, but this should be reflected in other parts of the biography as well. Not all characters will have the good fortune of being found by a 'Daddy Warbucks' and becoming filthy rich and cared for.

The history is very much the meat of the profile - the life story of the character. It should never be considered as just another section to fill out, creating possible moments of sympathy, breakdowns or sudden urges to excel just because the player feels that it is suddenly required. The history should always be in the back of the mind of the player while he writes character posts, the influence of the past always there.

While the outline above should help a player to write a history that will get him accepted on many RP Games, nothing is ever set in stone. As a creator, the player should be creative and try to make his character as unique as he can, but also try to be as believable as possible within the genre the character is being created for.

Role-playing

[/b][/url] When you choose an alignment, you are indicating your character’s dedication to a set of moral principles: Good, Lawful, Neutral Chaotic, and Good. In a cosmic sense, it is the team you believe in and fight for most strongly.

Isn’t Alignment just another part of your personality? Yes and no.

Certain personality traits have moral weight, particularly those that influence how you interact with others. Cruelty and generosity can be considered personality traits, but they are also manifestations of your beliefs about the importance and worth of other people. A character who aspires to good might have a cruel streak, but if that streak manifests too frequently or in extreme ways, it is hard to say he’s really upholding his moral ideals.

Other personality traits have no moral weight at all. A fastidious and well-organized person can just as easily be evil as good. An impulsive prankster can also be good or evil. These quirks of personality are mostly unrelated to alignment, but your alignment might affect the way your personality translates into action. An evil prankster might favor cruel practical jokes that cause personal harm and damage property, while a good one would steer away from such injurious acts.[/ul]

[/b] IMPACT-L however does not affect a character's overall status. This means a character with higher Intelligence than another will not be seen as "smarter", nor will a person with a higher Charisma is going to be more "persuasive". These avenues are measured through Skills and personal Roleplay ability. IMPACT-L simply compliment's a character's build. A character known to hit hard will invest in Might, while a character who's a Genius in GenJutsu will invest in Perception.

Ability Drain and Damage are prominent conditions that apply to the Ability Categories. Enchantments, and Alchemy also can apply to Ability Categories. For every +2 you get to an Ability Category you have to multiply that number to the rest of the Abilities within the single Category. The same applies if you suffer a penalty of -2 or more.

Natural Ability Advancement

Ability Category Loss

[/b] User took a potion to give them +3 to Might. If they take 18 Ability Category penalty points to Might they will suffer devastating effects.

• Might: -15 means that the character cannot move at all. You lie helpless on the ground.
  
• Perception: -15 means that the character is withdrawn into a deep sleep filed with nightmares, helpless.
  
• Agility: -15 means that the character cannot move at all. You stand motionless, rigid, and helpless.
  
• Charisma: -15 means that the character is withdrawn into a catatonic, coma-like stupor, helpless.
  
• Toughness: -15 means that the character is dead.

Some abilities impose an effective ability category reduction, which is different from ability category loss. Any such reduction disappears at the end of the ability's duration, and the ability category immediately returns to normal.[/ul]

Ability Damage and Drain

• Ability Damage: The character temporarily loses 1 or more Ability Category points. Lost poitns return at a rate of 1 per day unless noted otherwise by the condition dealing the Damage. Abilities such as Lesser Cleanse Spirit, Cleanse Spirit, and Greater Cleanse Spirit may offset these damages.
  
• Ability Drain: Some abilities, especially those by creatures have a supernatural effect on Ability Categories and permanently reduce a living target's Ability Category. Cleanse Spirit however can remove the lost Categories. Such creatures do not drain abilities from enemies when the enemies strike them, even with unarmed attacks or natural weapons. The creature’s descriptive text gives the ability and the amount drained. Unless otherwise specified in the creature's description, a draining creature gains 10 temporary armour points whenever it drains an Ability category no matter how many points it drains. These Temporary Armour Points last for 1 hour. Some attacks allow a Fortitude Save of (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). If no Save is mentioned, none is allowed.

Performing Jutsus

[/url] in the Combat section). Every Jutsu under "Special" will indicate if the Jutsu has "Handseals" or not. Whether a Jutsu has "Handseals" or not will take up a Weaving Movement, and most often than not will still need some form of Somatic movement (A measured and precise movement of the hands).

Jutsus with "Handseals" written under Special must use these 12 Handseals in any combination they wish. Jutsus with a "Hold Handseal" must use the Handseal specified.[/ul]

Defenses Against Techniques

• Damage Reduction: TaiJutsu Reduction. Some creatures have the supernatural ability to instantly heal damage from weapons or ignore blows all together as though they were invulnerable. The numerical part of a creature’s Damage Reduction (or DR) is the amount of damage the creature ignores from TaiJutsu attacks. Usually, a certain type of weapon can overcome this reduction. This information is separated from the damage reduction number by a slash. For example, DR 5/chakra means that a creature takes 5 less armour points of damage from all weapons that are not chakra. If a dash follows the slash, then the damage reduction is effective against any attack that does not ignore damage reduction.
  
  Whenever damage reduction completely negates the damage from an attack, it also negates most special effects that accompany the attack, such as injury poison. Damage reduction does not negate touch attacks, energy damage dealt along with an attack, or ability drains. Nor does it affect conditions delivered by inhalation, ingestion, or contact. Chakra jutsus ignore damage reduction. Sometimes damage reduction represents instant healing. Sometimes it represents the creature's tough hide or body. In either case, other characters can see that conventional attacks won't work.
  
  
• Energy Resistance: Reduction to Elemental Damage (Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, and Thunder). A creature with resistance to energy has the ability (usually extraordinary) to ignore some damage of a certain type per attack, but it does not have total immunity.
  
  Each resistance is defined by what energy type it resists and how many armour points of damage are resisted. It doesn't matter whether the damage has a mundane or chakra source.
  
  When resistance completely negates the damage from an energy attack, the attack does not disrupt a jutsu.
  
  
• Chakra Resistance: Reduction to chakra techniques. Chakra resistance is an extraordinary ability to avoid being affected by damaging chakra techniques. A creature with chakra resistance has the ability to ignore some damage of chakra techniques, but it does not have total immunity.
  
  Its resistance is defined by how many armour points of damage are resisted. The damage has to be chakra source.
  
  When resistance completely negates the damage from a chakra attack, the attack does not disrupt a jutsu.
  
  
• Defense: An accumulation of armour, enhancement bonus, deflection bonus, natural armour, dodge, and shield bonus. Protects against all types of damage. For more information please look in Attacks and Defenses in the Combat section.

Weapons

[/b], a one-handed weapon, or a two-handed weapon.

• Light: A light weapon is easier to use in one’s off hand than a one-handed weapon is, and it can be used while grappling. A light weapon is used in one hand. Using 2 hands to wield a light weapon gives no advantage on damage. An unarmed strike is always considered a light weapon.
  
• One-Handed: A one-handed weapon can be used in either the primary hand or the off hand. If a one-handed weapon is wielded with 2 hands during melee combat, add 1/2 of weapon's damage with that weapon.
  
• Two-Handed: Two hands are required to use a 2-handed melee weapon effectively. Apply 1/2 of weapon's damage with that weapon.

Chakra Items

Identifying Items

• Skill Checks: Certain Skills allow a character to accurately identify an item.
  
  • Lore, Chakra: A character using the Detect Chakra Jutsu can attempt a Chakra Lore check to determine the type of Chakra associated with the item's Powers. If the character exceeds the Check for this check by 50 or more, the character determines the item's functions, its means of activation, and the number of charges remaining.
    
  • Lore, Ritual, Creation: A character using the Detect Chakra Jutsu can attempt a Creation Ritual Lore check to determine the type of Chakra associated with the item's Powers. If the character exceeds the Check for this check by 50 or more, the character determines the item's functions, its means of activation, and the number of charges remaining.
    
  • Use Chakra Device: If a character succeeds on a Use Chakra Device check to activate a Chakra Item and exceeds the check by 25 or more, the character determine's the item's functions, its means of activation, and the number of charges remaining.
  
  
  
• Jutsus: Jutsus are the most reliable way to identify items.
  
  • Detect Chakra: When Detect Chakra identifies a Chakra Item's Item Nature, this information refers to the the type of bonuses associated with the item. The description of each item provides its aura strength and the type of Aura associated to the item. If more than 1 type of Bonus is applied, the highest, or most costly enhancement is visible. Use the following default guidelines.
    
    • Armour and Protection Items: Abjuration
      
    • Weapons or Offensive Items: Evocation
      
    • Bonus to Ability Categories, Skills, etc.: Transmutation
  
  
  
• Hired Help: The Player Character might want to consult sages, or Ritualists to identify items through the means outlined above. Such NPCs might also know some details or rumors about an item's history. They always want something in return for this information. The prices for such services is 10% of the item's cost.
  
  
• Trial and Error: The last refuge of desperate characters with an unidentified Chakra Item, this process is often comical, but it can become an annoying waste of time. The trial-and-error process usually entails a Player Character attempting to use the item. A character hoping that the cloak they just found is actually wings of flying might say, "I put the cloak on and jump up and down flapping my arms."

[/ul]

Using Chakra Items

• Jutsu Completion: This is the activation method for Scrolls. A Scroll is a Jutsu that is mostly finished. The preparation is done for the performer, so no preparation time is needed beforehand as with normal Jutsu Performing. All that's left to do is perform the finishing parts of the Jutsu Performing (The final handseals, words, and so on). To use a Jutsu Completion item safely, a character must be of high enough Class Level in the right Specialist to perform the Jutsu already. If they cannot already perform the Jutsu, there is a chance they will make a mistake. Activating a Jutsu completion item is a Weaving movement (Jutsu's performing time) and provokes an opportunity of attack.
  
  
• Jutsu Trigger: Jutsu Trigger activation is similar to Jutsu completion, but it is even simpler. No gestures or Jutsu finishing is needed, just a special knowledge of Jutsu Performing that an appropriate character would know, and a single word that must be spoken. The user must still determine the ability is stored in the item before they can activate it. Activating a Jutsu Trigger item is a weaving movement and does not provoke an opportunity attack.
  
  
• Command Word: If the activation is on command or if no activation method is suggested either in the Chakra Item description or by the nature of the item, assume that a command word is needed to activate it. Command word activation means that a character speaks the word and the item activates. No other special knowledge is needed.
  
  A command word can be a real word, but when this is the case, the holder of hte item runs the risk of activating the item accidently by speaking the word in normal conversation. More often, the command word is some nonsensical word, or a word or phrase from an ancient language. Activating a command word Chakra Item is a weaving movement and does not provoke an opportunity attack.
  
  Sometimes the command word to activate an item is written right on the item. Occasionally, it might be hidden within a pattern or design engraved, carved, or built into the item, or the item might bear a clue to the command word.
  
  
• Use Activated: This type of item simply has to be used in order to activate it. A character has to eat something, swing a sword, interpose a shield to deflect a blow in combat, look through a lsense, sprinkle dust, wear a ring, or don a hat. Use activation is generally straightforward and self-explanatory.
  
  Many use-activated items are objects that a character wears. Continually functioning items are practically always items that one wears. A few must simply be in the character's posession (meaning on their person). However some items made for wearing must still be activated. Although this activation sometimes requires a command word (see above), usually it means mentally willing the activation to happen. The description of an item states whether a command word is needed in such a case.
  
  Unless stated otherwise, activating is a use-activated Chakra item is either a Move Movement or not a moement at all and does not provoke an opportunity of attack, unless the use involves performing a movement that provokes an opportunity attack in itself. If the use of the item takes time before Chakra effects occur, then use activation is a Weaving Movement. If the item's activation is subsumed in its use and take no extra time use, activation is not a Movement at all.

Exploration

[/url] you learned what is traveling and how to do it. This section goes into the finer details of Exploration and travel.

Exploration usually involves movement, so this section covers the rules for moving when you are not in an encounter. When you are exploring, you need to know what you can see, particularly in a dark dungeon, so a discussion of vision and light follows the movement. In events or Missions when you are Role-playing with others it is good to know about this so if you have to give information to people you can. During exploration, you interact with your environment in various ways; pushing objects around, fiddling with levers, searching rooms, picking locks, and smashing open objects. GMs or other players will let you know what is going on, and there will be a time when you will let other players know what is going on.[/ul]

Movement

Terrain

[/b]

• 1/2 movement reduction: Mostly difficult terrain: dense forests, mountains, deep swamps, rubble-choked ruins.
  
• 1/4 movement reduction: Extensive difficult terrain: forests, hills, swamps, crumbling ruins, natural caves, cities.
  
• 0 movement reduction: Very little difficult terrain: open fields, plains, roads, clear dungeon corridors.

Flying creatures, when airborne and above the difficult terrain ignore any movement restriction of Difficult Terrain.[/ul]

Density of Vegetation

• Sparse: Long-distance, straight-line movement is possible only at this density level. Equivalent to Average ground travel terrain (Light forest).
  
• Normal: While running you must be careful to avoid ordinary mishap (e.g., trip and fall down). Normal gives 1/4th movement reduction.
  
• Dense: All ranged attacks are treated with concealment (20% miss chance) against targets. Terrain is treated as 1/2 movement. Additionally, certain characteristics are modified: +15 Stealth, -10 Observation.
  
• Impenetrable: All ranged attacks are treated with total concealment (50% miss chance) against targets. Medium or Larger creatures cannot pass through the undergrowth. It gives a -40 Observation. Creatures small or smaller can enter with 1/2 movement. Creatures small or smaller gain +40 Stealth.

Unless otherwise noted, assume jungle, swampland, and woodlands are Normal and plains are Sparse. In a cinematic campaign, jungle is often Dense.[/ul]

Air Terrain

• 1/2 movement reduction: movement reduction in air.

Aquatic Terrain

• Moderate Wind: (11 - 20 mph) A steady wind with a 50% chance of extinguishing small, unprotected flames, such as candles.
  
• Strong Wind: (21 - 30 mph) Gusts that automatically extinguish unprotected flames (candles, torches, and the like). Such gusts impose a -10 to Observation and Jump Good checks, and reduce Range Increment by 1/4. Tiny and smaller creatures must make a 10 Fortitude Save or be knocked down.
  
• Severe Wind: (31 - 50 mph) In addition to automatically extinguishing any unprotected flames, winds of this magnitude cause protected flames (such as those of lanterns) to dance wildly and have a 50% chance of extinguishing these lights. -20 to Observation and Jump Good checks, and reduce Range Increment by 2/4. Small Creatures must make a 15 Fortitude Save or be knocked down while Tiny and smaller get blown away.
  
• Windstorm: (51 - 74 mph) Powerful enough to bring down branches if not whole trees, windstorms automatically extinguish unprotected flames and have a 75% chance of blowing out protected flames, such as those of lanterns. -40 to Observation and Jump Good checks, and reduce Range Increment by 3/4. Medium creatures must make a 15 Fortitude Save or be knocked down, while Small or smaller get blown away.
  
• Hurricane-Force Wind: (75 - 174 mph) All flames are extinguished. -80 to Observation and Jump Good checks, unable to perform Range Increment techniques. Large creatures must make a 20 Fortitude Save or be knocked down, while Medium or smaller get blown away.
  
• Tornado: (175 - 300 mph) All flames are extinguished. -160 to Observation and Jump Good checks, unable to peform Range Increment Techniques. Huge creatures must make a 30 Fortitude Save or be knocked down, while Large or smaller get blown away. Those who come in contact with the actual funnel cloud are picked up and whirled around for 1d10 rounds, taking 36 Armour Points of damage per round, before being violently expelled (falling damage may apply). While a tornado's rotational speed can be as great as 300 mph, the funnel itsel moves forward at an average of 30 mph (roughly 75 meters per Round). A Tornado uproots trees, destroys buildings, and causes other similar forms of major destruction.

Vision and Light

Categories of Light

• Bright Light: This category includes the light provided by most portable light sources, daylight, and the light cast by surrounding fires or lava. There are no special rules for vision in bright light.
  
• Dim Light This category includes the light provided by a candle or another dim light source, moonlight, indirect illumination (such as in a cave interior whose entrance is nearby or in a subterranean passageway that has narrow shafts extending to the surface), and the light cast by things such as phosphorescent fungi. Characters who have normally vision cannot see well in dim light: Creatures in the area have concealment. Characters that have low-light vision or darkvision see normally in dim light.
  
• Darkness: Darkness prevails outside on a moonless night or in rooms with no light sources. Characters that have normal vision or low-light vision cannot see creatures or objects in darkness. Characters who have darkvision can see without penalty.

[/ul]

Light Sources

• Candle: Radius — 4 meter radius; Brightness — Dim
  
• Torch: Radius — 10 meter radius; Brightness — Bright
  
• Lantern: Radius — 20 meter radius; Brightness — Bright
  
• Campfire: Radius — 20 meter radius; Brightness — Bright

Radius: A light source illuminates in an area and all area within the radius shown on the list. For example, if you carry a torch, bright light illuminates your area and 10 meters in every direction around you.
Brightness: Most light sources provide an area of bright light around them.[/ul]

Light Zones

• Sunlit Zone: This is the top layer, nearest the surface. Here there is enough light penetrating the way to support photosynthesis. More than 90% of all marine life lives in the sunlit zone. The sunlit zone goes down about 180 meters. Most fish and other sentient beings live in this zone.
  
• Twilight Zone: Only a small amount of light can penetrate the water at this depth. As the water becomes deeper, the pressure also increases. Plants do not grow here. Only animals that have adapted to low light survive. This gloomy part of the ocean begins at 180 meters under the water and extends to the darkest part, which begins about 900 meters down. Bioluminescent creatures abound in this zone.
  
• Midnight Zone: 90% of the ocean is in the midnight zone. It is oppressively dark, the water pressure is extreme, and the temperature is near freezing. Living creatures found here live close to cracks in the planet's crust. These cracks give off mineral-rich materials that nourish bacteria, which form the bottom of the food chain here, much like plankton does in the waters above.

Sunlight as a Light Source

[/b] — Bright* — Shadowy*

• 18 meters or less — 30 meters — 60
  
• 19 - 36 meters — 18 meters — 36
  
• 37 - 72 meters — 9 meters — 18
  
• 73 - 108 meters — 6 meters — 12
  
• 109 - 120 meters — 3 meters — 6
  
• 121 - 180 meters — - — 3
  
• 181 meters or more — - — -

* Creatures with Low-light vision can see objects twice as far away as the given distance.[/ul][/ul][/ul][/ul]

T1 Rules and Guidelines

Introduction

[/b]

The reason for T1 is to test yourself against others and make them believe they have been beaten by your character/skill.[/ul]

Posting Information for Your Intro in a T1

• 1. The first posts for every player cannot state an attack. They cannot prepare an attack. However abilities followed over from a different thread may stay active.
  
• 2. You have to post what your character looks like. (e.g. Clothing, hair color and style, skin color, eye color, height, weight (optional), and any Armour.)
  
• 3. You have to post what the area is that you and your opponent are going to fight in or are in. (e.g. Weather, time of day, type of terrain.)
  
• 4. You have to post what type of equipment your character is going to use in the fight. (Abilities are stated in a bio).
  
• 5. If you are posting your intro first, do not state where your opponent is, what they are doing, or where they are to begin, until they state otherwise in their post after.
  
• 6. Your character, and only your character is what you can narrate.

Rules 1

• 1. If you forget to post something in your intro; equipment. You cannot use it at any time later in the fight. Those things forgotten are off limits. If they are used, it is grounds for Disqualification from the match through the No God Modding tolerance. This is a competition between the knowledge of two minds on how well they know their character.
  
• 2. No God Modding. This goes towards those that take a hit in the T1 and get up from it like nothing every happened. T1 is a competition against two different skills. The first to outsmart, and out match their opponent is the winner. The easiest way to winning a T1 is to always keep in mind, the first one that lands a hit wins.
  
• 3. No Auto-Attacks. This is the statement that your attack landed without letting your opponent counter/block/dodge/avoid/deflect in their posts after.
  
• 4. You must post equal length to your opponents attack post if you are to dodge/counter/block their attack. Anything less than the other’s attack section of the post is subject to voiding the move or disqualification. If you get a 5+ paragraph attack post (For example), you have to fully explain your actions and how you did your counter/dodge/block in your replying post that measures up to the attack section length that was posted previously.
  
• 5. Correct spelling, punctuation, sentence structure and overall quality of your posts are the means of gaining a win. Run-on sentences and poor explanations about your character or anything of the sort are subject to disqualification or request to do another post if not acceptable. The more effort you put into your characters’ posts the better and smoother the fight will go.

Rules 2

• 1. You post in turns.
  
• 2. All attacks are attempted; you do not post attacking and connecting in the same turn. Attempting and connecting in the same turn is an auto.
  
• 3. An interrupt is where Person A reacts before the end of Person B's prior turn. As an example, Person B might draw his sword, curse, and then run across 10 meters before stopping, jumping, and swinging his sword at Person A's neck. In response, Person A would post drawing his sword and charging at Person B as Person B is running, therefore rendering the neck strike (in that form) having never happened. Interrupts are often regarded as the backbone of melee.
  
• 4. A hypothetical is where Person A posts should Person A dodge to the West, he will bring his sword across; a hypothetical is a follow-up, a move that will happen if one or more conditions are met. Hypotheticals imply forethought, so they can be considered planned moves IC, and therefore do not demand the same conscious considering that would otherwise be demanded; also, hypotheticals might account for where a given attack would land if such and such defense were performed, like having a thrust to the stomach being displaced to the neck if the foe ducks.
  
• 5. Both interrupts and hypotheticals, and indeed all elements of T1 must be logical or else cannot happen; if you are interrupting a nearly split-second move, for instance, as you are looking the other way and engaged in some other motion, you will not succeed. Likewise, if your hypothetical is that your 140 pound axe will be swung left into the ribs if its potent downward blow is evaded, and your enemy is nimble and simply ran to the side at the "last moment," you naturally will not hit him.
  
• 6. Meta-gaming is when you use OOC information—or information your character does not have—in a fight, bestowing him that information. It can also be posting your character, after a duel is agreed on and a random room made, somehow having placed explosives exactly where your adversary is standing after he posts. An auto, too, but it can very well likewise fall under the "meta-gaming" header.

[/ul]

Step 1: T1 Intro Information and Precautions

• 1. You can write down your equipment in Note Pad, Word Processor, or Word Pad to get a visual of your characters equipments, and even looks to begin your organization and memorization of your characters attributes.
  
• 2. Challenge yourself with how you post. Do not over use the "He would""Would be" and the main word "Would" (Commonly used word, and word combination by beginners that have the mind set on what they want to say, but are limited on the vocabulary to explain it.)
  
• 3. Remember the key ingredients in the T1 intro is "soup". You have to explain equipment, looks, actions, surroundings, and dialogue. This is giving your opponent the respect of telling them what you are going to use in your "Attacking posts" so there is no confusion or outside source of power coming unexpectedly. For your safety and honor, informing them of these attributes, you can tell your opponent about your character fully and still be able to defeat them in the end. Creativity and combos will be the breaking points between a win and a loss.
  
• 4. The major rule and idea you should always keep in mind is always using Common Logic and Respect in your posts. If you know you have been beaten, you are to still try; but know this if there is not enough information telling about what you did or how you did it, your post can be voided and the match will either end, or you will have to re-do the post if asked.

[/ul]

Step 2: Mixing and Creating Your Intro Post

[/b]

Posting Your Intro Second

[/b][/ul][/ul][/ul]

Step 3: Attacking

[/b]

• (This is what not to do) Ex: Person A attacks full force with his blade of ice in attempt to freeze his foe by slashing at him 12 time in every direction.

With this action taken you need to keep in mind that two slashes at the most can be attempted. And your key word in your attacks is "Attempt". Just because you have a wide based form of attacking all at once, does not mean that they will all land or any of them will land at all. There will be defenses, dodges, and counters that will avoid, throw off, or make you look like a flailing fish out of water.

Your attacks are to be planned out, not in effects to your enemy, but with your own actions to make sure you have a chance to abort any actions done just in case. Your attacks are to make sense in both real life and role-play.

Plan out your movements to make sure your can "dance" elegantly with your blade while attacking or make a move that gives you time to dodge a counter if needed. You will have to fully explain what type of power you will be using, what powers involve your combo if you are using one. What it is aimed at, how fast you are going, and what is trying to be attempted in harming your foe. Keep in mind if you say your attack will slice their arm off if landed or anything of the sort, your enemy has the choice to actually choose what the effect is from your attack.

You are to also tell the time span of how long actions take to perform. Say your speed allows you to move quickly being able to close a 6 meter gap in 3 seconds. Information like that will be needed in making actions that your foe will need time to perform their move, may it be a dodge, counter, or block. Each movement must be stated as to how long it takes to make is what we’re getting at.[/ul]

Attack Example

[/ul]

Step 4: Attack Defense

• Example: Increasing his power by manipulating his energy within his blade it gave him an added amount of pressure causing the blade to being able to slice through a sheet of titanium metal. Seconds later Person A ran at Person B, closing the gap of 4 meters to only 1 meter, then with a mighty swing, Person A’s blade sails to the ribs of Person B, then after Person A jumps into the air and lands 8 meters away hoping his attack landed.

Ok, that example is what I am referring to. You see, Person A stated all his actions in the post along with his attack but left numerous amounts of openings that person B, in their post, can attack. Just because Person A stated they jumped 6 meters away after his attack does not have to be followed by Person B because now you are telling them they cannot attack you because you are already in a safe zone. This is what I mean:

• Continue Example: Seeing the power increase of Person A, Person B took hold of his own blade, waiting till Person A came within range to do his move. Seconds pass as Person B takes the time to change his footing to allow himself more maneuverability in doing his next action. Seeing the blade sailing at his ribs, Person B knew the increase in pressure will throw his foe off balance due to its over exertion with effort. Dropping down forwards, to land on all fours, avoiding the colossal blades strike making it gracefully flow above his back un-harming his well being, but at that very instance as the blade was out of a dangerous point in time, Person B looked up at the exposed belly of Person A, and lunged forwards with his blades tip, regaining his footing, still in a crouched down manner, and attempted to stab the open area.

As you can see the dodge/counter allowed Person B the time to avoid then attack his foe, not having to go by Person A’s statement of him not being there. You must be able to attack and give yourself time or an escape route just in case counters like Person B did will not have such a huge effect on you. What Person A should have done was:

• Example: Increasing his power by manipulating his energy within his blade it gave him an added amount of pressure causing the blade to being able to slice through a sheet of titanium metal. Seconds later Person A ran at Person B, closing the gap of 4 meters to only 1 meter, then with a mighty swing, Person A’s blade sails to the ribs of Person B. Never over powering his movements to toss himself off balance, he moved his left hand to his wakizashi blade handle, creating a spinning motion to the left, since the attacking blade will increase his twist allowing himself the opportunity to draw his blade at the same time to perhaps block a counter attack that may cause serious damage to Person A’s form, and life.

This example is the meaning of Attack Defense. If you close openings, or make your movements easy to get out of, or make them a continuing motion, you will be able to not leave gaps in your attack that your foe can ultimately capitalize on in their posts.[/ul]

Length is Not the Answer

Characterization Basic Elements

Energy Conservation

• Example: Dust flew up from below Kenji's feet as he moved with speed. His flash step blurred his movements. Each step he took left only dust slowly rising up into the air. A chill reached the area as Kenji appeared in front of a tree and ice particles began to form around the blade of Tenrai-Urufu. Kenji swung his Zanpakutou's blade towards the ground and sent up countless dirt clumps into the air. He struck another blow against the dirt clumps and they were sent flying towards the tree. The ice whipped out like a vine and struck the dirt clumps, freezing them into sharp ice shards. The ice shards flew at an incredible speed, from within Kenji stood and the tree was, the distance was approximately twelve feet.

[/ul]

Elemental Control & Manipulation

• Example: The ice around the blade danced gracefully, majestically forming around to make a chain. It sparkled in the shining light and willowed to the ground. Beams were attracted to the ice chain as Kenji swiftly swung the blade, allowing the ice chain's motion to twirl around him and seem to glitter as it danced.

[/ul]

Combination Techniques

• Example: Kenji gripped the hilt of his Zanpakutou tightly in his hands and released it from its sheathe. The blade swung down on Soki's shoulder and Kenji had his left leg aiming his knee to Soki's stomach.

[/ul]

Two-Post Combination Technique

• Example: Player A Behind his four ice walls, Kenji released a total of seven ice dragons heading towards Soki. One ice dragon headed towards his chest, a second one to his exposed backside, another at the direction of his left side, another at his right, and quickly one heading above Soki along with a second one tagged along right after the one coming in from above.
  
  Player B Soki formed multiple handsigns and created, within milliseconds, a giant fireball intensely surrounding his entire structure and waited until the dragons had melted.
  
  Player A Kenji smirked as there were only six Soki destroyed and he smiled. The final seventh ice dragon dug up from underground and directly it erupted beneath Soki.

Of course correct description of these posts must be made; this is just a quick sample. Note that the battle had to actually take place for the example post to make complete sense.[/ul][/ul][/ul]

The Combat Sequence

• Round: In a round, every combatant takes a turn. A round represents up to 6 seconds in the NFRP world.
  
• Turn: On your turn, you take actions based on your movements.

The movements in a combat encounter happen almost simultaneously in NFRP, but to make combat manageable, combatants take turns acting, role-playing with typing. Typically in a turn you can act, react, counter-attack, and intercept attacks, thus a round represents up to 6 seconds. A combat encounter follows these steps:

• 1. Determine Surprise: A GM or Battle Moderator determines whether any combatants are surprised. If any combatants notice enemy combatants without being noticed in return, the aware combatants gain a surprise round.
  
• 2. Establish Positions: The GM decides where the combatants are. For example, if the players have just opened a door into a room, the GM might have NPCs or other Players set up in another room in another thread.
  
• 3. Take Surprise Round Actions: If any combatants gained a surprise round, they act accordingly. The surprise round then ends and the first regular round of combat begins.
  
• 4. Take Turns: Every combatant takes a turn, which includes various actions.
  
• 5. Begin the Next Round: When every combatant had a turn, the round ends. Begin the next round in the same order as the previous.
  
• 6. End the Encounter: Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the combatants on one side are captured, fleeing, unconscious, or dead. The encounter ends when the other side then takes a short rest or an extended rest.

[/ul]

The Surprise Round

• Limited Movement: If you get to act in the Surprise round, you can use 1/2 of your movements as Attacks. After every non surprised combatant has acted, the surprise round ends and you can act normally in subsequent rounds.
  
• Surprised: If you are surprised, you cannot take any movements except for defensive movements. As soon as the surprise round ends, you are no longer surprised.

[/ul][/ul]

Movement Types

The Main Movement Types

• Weaving Movement: Weaving movements are the core of Chakra combat. Each weaving movement is dependent on how many handseals you can perform per round and movements.
  
• Move Movement: Move Movements involve movement from one place to another as well as TaiJutsu movement (attacks). Move movements (Movements) take up 1 movement.
  
• Minor Movement: Minor movements are enabling actions, simple actions that usually lead to more exciting actions. Examples: pulling an item from a pouch or a sheath, opening a door or a treasure chest, picking up an item, etc. Minor movements take up 1 Movement.
  
• Free Movement: Free movements take up almost no time or effort. You can take as many free movements as you want during your or another combatant’s turn. The GM can restrict the number of free movements in a turn. Examples: speaking a few sentences, dropping a held item, letting go of a grabbed enemy.

[/ul]

Triggered Movement Types

[/b]

• Trigger: Opportunity movements allow the user to take a movement in response to an enemy letting their guard down. The one type of opportunity movement that every combatant can take is an opportunity attack (see Movements in Combat). Opportunity attacks are triggered by an enemy leaving your melee range of attack, or by an adjacent enemy making a ranged attack, or an area attack.
  
• Once per Combatant’s Turn: You can take no more than one opportunity movement against each combatant.
  
• Interrupts Movement: An opportunity movement normally interrupts a movement that triggered it.

[/ul]

There are 2 kinds of immediate movements: interrupts and reactions. Certain rules govern all immediate movements, whether they are immediate interrupts or immediate reactions.

[/b]

• Trigger: Each immediate movement—usually a technique—defines its specific trigger. The one type of immediate movement that every combatant can take is a readied movement (see Ready a Movement, in Movements in Combat).
  
• Interrupt: An immediate interrupt lets you jump in when a certain trigger condition arises, acting before the trigger resolves. If an interrupt invalidates a trigger movement, the movement is lost. For example, an enemy makes a melee attack against you, but you use a technique that lets you shift away as an immediate interrupt. If your enemy can no longer reach you, the enemy’s attack movement is lost.

[/ul][/ul][/ul]

Taking Your Turn

The Start of Your Turn

• Ongoing Damage: If you are suffering ongoing damage, you take the damage now.
  
• Regeneration: If you have regeneration, you regain armour points now.
  
• Other Effects: Deal with any other effects that occur at the start of your turn.
  
• End Effects: Some effects end automatically at the start of your turn.

[/ul]

Actions on Your Turn

• Your Movements: You get a number of movements dependent on your Class Level and Specialists (see Movements in Combat).
  
• Free Movements: You can take any number of free movements of your turn.
  
• Any Order: You can take your movements in any order you wish.

[/ul]

The End of Your Turn

• Saves: Staff now make Saving throws against any effect on you that a save can end.
  
• End Effects: Some effects end automatically at the end of your turn.
  
• No Movements: You cannot make any movements at the end of your turn.

[/ul][/ul]

Attacks and Defenses

Attack Types

Melee Attack

• Targeted: Melee attacks target individuals. A melee attack against multiple enemies consists of separate attacks, each taking up a movement, and dealing their own damage.
  
• Range: A melee attack’s range usually equals the user’s melee reach.
  
• Reach: Certain techniques, weapons can increase your reach (wire for example).

Simply wielding a weapon in each hand does not allow you to make 2 attacks in a single movement. If you hold 2 melee weapons, you can use either one to make a melee attack in a movement.[/ul]

Ranged Attack

• Targeted: Ranged attacks target individuals. A ranged attack against multiple enemies consists of separate attacks, each taking up a movement, and dealing their own damage.
  
• Range: Some techniques set a specific range or allow you to attack any target you can see. If you are using a weapon, the attack’s range is the range Increment of your weapon, as shown in each weapon. If you use a ranged weapon and your target is farther away than the weapon’s normal range, it is possible to hit, however role-playing wise the enemy can use this information to dodge easier as it is not within your range.
  
• Provoke Opportunity Attack: If you use a ranged technique while adjacent to an enemy, that enemy gains an opportunity attack against you.

[/ul]

Close Attack

• Area of Effect: A close attack creates an area of effect, usually a blast, cone or a burst. A close attack affects certain targets within its area of effect, which has a certain radius. A close attack’s area of effect and targets are specified in its technique’s description.
  
• Origin: A close attack’s area of effect defines the attack’s origin, which is the player. A close burst uses the user as its origin. A close blast and cone uses starts at the player’s origin and expands out. For a target to be effected by a close attack there must be line of effect from the origin to the target.
  
• Multiple Attacked but 1 Damage: Every target no matter how larger the target may be will take the same amount of damage listed by the technique. If you are using a projectile weapon to make a close attack, you need one piece of ammunition for each target, and if you are using thrown weapons, you need one for each target.

[/ul]

Area Attack

• Area of Effect: An area attack creates an area of effect, usually a burst or a wall, within range. An area attack affects certain targets within its range of effect, which has a certain range. An area attack’s area of effect, range, and targets are specified in its technique description.
  
• Origin: You choose the area within an area attack’s range as the attack’s origin, which is where you center or start the area of effect. You need line of effect from an area in your area to the origin. For a target to be affected by an area attack. There needs to be line of effect from the origin to the target. You do not have to be able to see the origin or the target, and concealment between the origin and the target does not apply.
  
• Multiple Attacked but 1 Damage: Every target no matter how larger the target may be will take the same amount of damage listed by the technique. If you are using projectile weapon to make a close attack, you need one piece of ammunition for each target, and if you are using thrown weapons, you need one for each target.
  
• Provoke Opportunity Attacks: If you use an area technique while adjacent to an enemy, that enemy gains an opportunity attack against you.

[/ul]

Areas of Effect

• Blast: A blast fills an area sprayed from the player with a circular distance equal to the description of the technique. The blast must either expand from the player or have a diameter that ends with the player’s starting point. A blast affects a target only if the target is in the blast’s area and if there is line of effect from the origin to the target.
  
• Burst: A burst starts at an origin and extends in all directions to a specified number of radius in meters from the origin. Unless a technique description notes otherwise, a close burst you create does not affect you. However, an area burst you create does affect you. A burst affects a target only if there is line of effect from the burst’s origin to the target.
  
• Cone: A cone-shaped technique shoots away from you in a quarter-circle in the direction you designate. It starts from you and widens out as it goes. A target to be effected by a cone attack there must be line of effect from the origin of the attack.
  
• Wall: A wall fills a continuous range, starting from an origin point. Each part of the wall must share a side—not just a corner—with at least a meter of the wall, but the wall can share no more than 2 sides with other parts in the wall. You can shape the wall however you like within those limitations.

[/ul][/ul]

Seeing and Targeting

• Line of Sight: The first question is what you can see in the area—that is, what is your line of sight. Even if you can see a target, objects and effects can still partially block your view. If you can see a target but at least they are in front of obstruction, the target has cover or concealment.
  
• Line of Effect: You can target a creature or an area if there is an unblocked path between it and you—that is, if you have line of effect to it. Fog, darkness, and other types of obscured techniques block vision, but they do not block line of effect. If you hurl a fireball into a pitch-black room, you do not have to see your enemies for the fireball to hit them. In contrast, you can see through transparent wall of force, but you do not have line of effect through it. You can see the snarling demon on the other side, but the wall blocks attacks.
  
  You need line of effect to any target you attack and to any area in which you wish to create an effect. When you make an area attack, you need line of effect to the attack’s origin area. To hit a target with the attack, there must be line of effect from the origin area to the target.

Damage Types

[/b]

• Bludgeoning: Attacks that smash.
  
• Piercing: Attacks can damage by traveling through armour and into soft, internal targets.
  
• Slashing: Attacks can cut through flesh and armour which could lead to a bleed effect.

Other Damage Type

• Acid: Corrosive liquid.
  
• Cold: Ice crystals, arctic air, or frigid liquid
  
• Fire: Explosive bursts, fiery rays, or simple ignition.
  
• Force: Invisible energy formed into incredibly hard, yet non-solid shapes. Mostly found in Shape Transformation Jutsus.
  
• Lightning: Electrical energy.
  
• Necrotic: Purple-black energy that deadens flesh and wounds the soul.
  
• Poison: Toxins that reduce a creature’s armour points.
  
• Psychic: Effects that target the mind.
  
• Radiant: Searing white light or shimmering colors.
  
• Thunder: Also known as Sonic damage. Shock waves and deafening sounds.

[/ul][/ul]

Ongoing Damage

• Start of Your Turn: You take the specified damage at the start of your turn. Example: If you are taking ongoing 6 fire damage, you take 6 Armour Points of fire damage at the start of your turn.
  
• Saving Throw: Each round at the end of your turn–if you are allowed to make a save–make a save against the ongoing damage. If you succeed, you stop taking ongoing damage.
  
• Different Types of Ongoing Damage: If effects deal ongoing damage of different types, you take damage from each effect every round. You make a separate save against each damage type if applicable.
  
• The Same Type of Ongoing Damage: If effects deal ongoing damage of the same type, or if the damage has no type, only the higher number applies. Example: You are taking ongoing 5 damage (no type) when a technique causes you to take ongoing 10 damage. You are now taking ongoing 10 damage, not 5.

Critical Strike

Critical Severity

Incorporeal

[/ul]

Durations

• Conditional Durations: These effects last for duration. For example: 5 rounds per Class Level, 5 minutes per class level, and Etc.
  
• Sustained Durations: An effect that has “sustain movement” duration lasts as long as you sustain it. Starting on your turn after you create an effect, you sustain the effect by taking the indicated movement: A weaving movement, a movement, and a minor movement. Some effects do something, such as attack, when you sustain them. A technique description indicates what happens when you sustain it or let it lapse. At the end of your turn, if you have not spent the required movement to sustain the effect, the effect ends.
  
• Overlapping Durations: If a target is affected by multiple techniques that have the same effect but end at different times, the effect with the most time remaining applies.

Unless a description says otherwise, you can sustain a technique with a sustained duration for as long as 5 minutes. However, you cannot rest while sustaining a technique, so you cannot regain the use of Chakra until you stop sustaining a technique.

Rituals can create effects that last for hours, days, or years.[/ul][/ul]

Defenses

• Defense: measures how much damage you can absorb before it affects your character, or takes away from your Armour Points. Some characters have a high Defense because they dedicate their TP into special techniques while others use their guile and stealth to evade attacks.
  
• Fortitude: measures the inherent toughness, mass, strength, and resilience of your physique. It is the key defense against attacks that include effects such as disease, poison, and forced movement.
  
• Will: is your defense against effects that daze, disorient, confuse, or overpower your mind. It measures your strength of will, self-discipline, and devotion.

[/ul]

Defense

[/b]

• Enhancement Bonus: Enhancement bonus makes your Armour better. Each +1 enhancement bonus adds 2 to the hardness of armour, a weapon, or a shield and +10 to the item’s Armour Points. Enhancement Bonus resists against all forms of damage.
  
• Hardness: Also known as Armour bonus. Hardness is applied to items, but more notably to armour you wear. Each object has hardness depending on the Special Material—a number that represents how well it resists damage. Whenever you are hit on an area that has armour with hardness, subtract its hardness from the damage. Armour bonus resists against all forms of damage.
  
• Natural Armour: Natural Armour improves your Defense. Natural Armour bonus resists against all forms of damage.

Minor Defensive Bonuses

• Deflection Bonus: Chakra deflection effects ward off attacks and improve your Defense. Deflection bonus resists against all forms of damage.
  
• Dodge Bonus: A special bonus used to represent actively avoiding blows. These bonuses are called dodge bonuses. Unlike most sorts of bonuses, dodge bonuses stack with each other. Note: This does not affect the ability of T1. You as a player still have the ability to “dodge”, “duck”, “dip”, “dive”, and “dodge”, out of attacks. Dodge bonus is a simple defense effect in case you are hit by an attack. Dodge is just a mechanic to take less damage.
  
• Insight Bonus: An insight bonus improves performance of a given activity by granting the character an almost precognitive knowledge of what might occur. Multiple insight bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest insight bonus applies.

[/ul]

Touch Attacks Some attacks disregard Defense, including shields and natural armour. In these cases, the attacker has to touch you. These attacks normally deal condition damage and not physical damage.[/ul]

Basic Save Information

• Automatic Failures and Successes: A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on a save is always a failure. A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a success.
  
• Disbelief: A successful save lets the subject ignore the effect.
  
• Half: The technique deals damage, and a successful save halves the damage taken.
  
• Negates: The technique has no effect on a subject that makes a successful save.
  
• None: No save is allowed.
  
• Partial: The technique causes an effect on its subject. A successful save means that some lesser effect occurs.

[/ul]

Will Saves

• Natural Resistance: Every person has a Natural Resistance against will. The Natural Resistance depends on the player’s Specialist and Class Level.
  
• End of Turn: At the end of your turn, you make a save against each effect on you that a save can end. Roll a d20.
  
• Choose Order: Whenever you make a save, you choose which effect to roll against first, which effect to roll against second, and so on.

[/ul]

Fortitude Saves

• Natural Resistance: Every person has a Natural Resistance against fortitude. The Natural Resistance depends on the player’s Specialist and Class Level.
  
• End of Turn: At the end of your turn, you make a save against each effect on you that a save can end. Roll a d20.
  
• Choose Order: Whenever you make a save, you choose which effect to roll against first, which effect to roll against second, and so on.

[/ul][/ul]

Conditions

[/url][/ul][/ul][/ul]

Modifiers

Cover and Concealment

Cover

Concealment

• Concealment Miss Chance: Concealment gives the subject of a successful attack a 20% chance of that the attacker missed because of the concealment. Make the attack normally—if the defender accepts the attack, the defender must make a miss chance 1d100 roll to avoid being struck. Multiple concealment conditions do not stack.
  
  
• Concealment and Stealth Checks: You can use concealment to make a Stealth check. Without concealment, you usually need cover to make a Stealth check.
  
  
• Total Concealment: If you have line of effect to a target but not line of sight, he is considered to have total concealment from you. You cannot attack an opponent that has total concealment, though you can attack into its general area that you think he occupies. A successful attack into the area grants the enemy with a total concealment 50% miss chance. You cannot use an Opportunity attack against an opponent with total concealment, even if you know where the opponent is.
  
  
• Ignoring Concealment: Concealment is not always effective. An area of dim lighting or darkness does not provide any concealment against an opponent with darkvision. Characters with low-light vision can see clearly for a greater distance than other characters with the same light source. Although invisibility provides total concealment, sighted opponents may still make an Observation check to notice the location of an invisible character. An invisible character gains +100 bonus on Stealth checks if moving, or a +200 bonus on Stealth checks when not moving (even though opponents cannot see you, they might be able to figure out where you are from other visual or auditory clues).
  
  
• Varying Degrees of Concealment Certain situations may provide more or less than typical concealment, and modify the miss chance accordingly.

[/ul][/ul]

Benefit and Penalty Modifiers

Stacking

Modifier Types

• Ability Modifier: The bonus or penalty associated with a particular ability. Ability modifiers apply to apply and involve your corresponding abilities.
  
  
• Alchemical Bonus: An Alchemical bonus is granted by the use of a non-Chakra, alchemical substance.
  
  
• Armour Bonus: Also known as Hardness. It is applied to Defense and is the main defense of armour. Armour bonuses stack with all other bonuses that affect Defense (even with natural armour) except other armour bonuses. An armour bonus does not apply against touch attacks, except for armour bonuses granted by force effects which apply against incorporeal attacks.
  
  
• Circumstance Modifier: A circumstance bonus (or penalty) arises from specific conditional factors impacting the success of the task at hand. Circumstance bonuses stack with all other bonuses, including other circumstance bonuses, unless they arise from essentially the same source.
  
  
• Competence Modifier: A competence bonus (or penalty) affects a character’s performance of a particular task. Such a bonus may apply on saves, skill checks, class level checks, or any other checks to which a bonus relating to level or skill ranks would normally apply. It does not apply on abilities, damage rolls, or other sources that is not related to a character’s class level or skill ranks. Multiple competence bonuses do not stack; only the highest bonus applies.
  
  
• Deflection Bonus: A deflection bonus affects Defense and is granted by a technique or chakra effect that makes attacks veers off harmlessly. Deflection bonuses stack with all other bonuses to Defense except other deflection bonuses. A deflection bonus applies against touch attacks.
  
  
• Dodge Bonus: A dodge bonus improves Defense bonus resulting from physical skill at avoiding blows and other ill effects. Dodge bonuses are never granted by Chakra Jutsus or Chakra items. Any situation or effect (Major Defensive Bonuses) that negates a character’s ability to move also negates any dodge bonuses the character may have. Dodge bonuses stack with all other bonuses to Defense, even other Dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses apply against touch attacks.
  
  
• Enhancement Bonus: Also known as Equipment Bonus. An enhancement bonus represents an increase in the sturdiness and/or effectiveness of armour, natural armour, or the effectiveness of an item. Multiple enhancement bonuses on the same object (in the case of armour and weapons), creature (in the case of natural armour), do not stack. Only the highest enhancement bonus applies. Since enhancement bonuses to armour or natural armour effectively increase the armour or natural armour’s bonus to Defense, they do not apply against touch attacks.
  
  
• Enchantment Bonus: All Chakra and Soul Jutsus are considered Enhancement Bonus unless otherwise specified. An enchantment bonus represents the effectiveness of Chakra Jutsus. Enchantment bonuses do not stack. Only the highest Enchantment bonus applies.
  
  
• Insight Bonus: An insight bonus improves performance of a given activity by granting the character an almost precognitive knowledge of what might occur. Multiple insight bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest insight bonus applies.
  
  
• Luck Modifier: A luck modifier represents good (or bad) fortune. Multiple luck bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest luck bonus applies.
  
  
• Morale Modifier: A morale bonus represents the effects of greater hope, courage, and determination (or hopelessness, cowardice, and despair in the case of a morale penalty). Multiple morale bonuses on the same character do not stack. Non-intelligent creatures cannot benefit from morale bonuses.
  
  
• Natural Armour Bonus: A natural armour bonus improves Defense resulting from a creature’s naturally tough hide. Natural bonuses stack with all other bonuses to Defense (even with armour bonuses) except other natural armour bonuses. Some chakra effects grant an enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armour bonus, which has the effect of increasing the natural armour’s overall bonus to Defense. A natural armour bonus does not apply against touch attacks.
  
  
• Profane Modifier: A profane bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of evil. Multiple profane bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest profane bonus applies.
  
  
• Racial Modifier: A bonus granted because of the culture a particular creature was brought up in or because of innate characteristics of that type of creature. These are found in Traits under heritage traits.
  
  
• Resistance Bonus: A resistance bonus affects saves, providing extra protection against harm. Multiple resistance bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest resistance bonus applies.
  
  
• Sacred Modifier: A sacred bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of good. Multiple sacred bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest sacred bonus applies.
  
  
• Shield Bonus: A shield bonus improves Defense and is granted by a shield or a technique that mimics a shield. Shield bonus stacks with all other bonuses to defense except other shield bonuses. A chakra shield typically grants an enhancement bonus to the shield’s shield bonus, which has the effect of increasing the shield’s overall bonus to Defense. A shield bonus granted by a technique typically takes the form of an invisible, tangible field of force that protects the recipient. A shield bonus does not apply against touch attacks.
  
  
• Size Modifier: A size bonus or penalty is derived from a creature’s size category. Size modifiers of different kinds apply to Defense, Damage, Stealth checks, and various other checks.
  
  
• Synergy Modifier: It is possible for a character to have two skills that work well together. In general the user gains +5 skill points per Skill Mastery to a skill or condition of the skill. In some cases, this bonus applies only to specific uses of the skill in question, and not to all checks. Synergy bonus does not stack even if there are different circumstances to apply the skills in question. (Maximum +25)
  
  
• Trait Bonus: Traits bonus or penalties is given at character creation. Trait bonuses do not stack—they are intended to give player characters a slight edge, not a secrete backdoor way to focus all of a character’s traits on one type of bonus and thus gain an unseemly advantage.

• Must be Able to Attack: You and your ally must be able to attack the enemy, whether you are armed or unarmed. If there is no line of effect between your enemy and either you or your ally, you do not flank.
  
• Larger Creatures: If a flanked creature is larger than the flankers there are more possibilities to be flanked due to size.

[/ul]

Flying

• Movement: To fly, a creature may use a movement. Speed is not applicable and use basic T1 Rules, however a creature flying must still abide by their "Fly Type."
  
• Fly Type: This measurement shows the relative type of flying a creature has. Better the flying the better their movement. Flying Creatures have a Maneuverability Class from A to E.
  
  • Class A: Also known as Perfect. Class A creatures have total command over their movements in the air; they can freely hover, and face any direction in any given movement. Maximum up angle any degree. Maximum down angle any degree.
    
  • Class B: Also known as Good. Class B creatures are very maneuverable; they can hover, turn 180 degrees in a movement. Can turn in place 90 degrees. Maximum up angle any degree. Maximum down angle any degree.
    
  • Class C: Also known as Average. Class C creatures are somewhat agile in the air; they cannot move less than half of their movements while flying, they can turn up to 90 degrees in a movement. Cannot hover. Cannot move backward. Can turn in place 45 degrees. Maximum up angle 90 degrees. Maximum down angle any degree.
    
  • Class D: Also known as Poor. Class D creatures are rather slow; they absolutely cannot move less than half of their movements without falling, can turn only 60 degrees in a movement. Cannot hover. Cannot move backward. Cannot turn in place. Maximum up angle 45 degrees. Maximum down angle 45 degrees.
    
  • Class E: Also known as Clumsy.

Cannot move backward. Cannot turn in place. Maximum up angle 45 degrees. Maximum down angle 45 degrees.
  
  
• Must Move: You fall at the end of your turn if you cannot hover. You can halt while soaring only if you can hover. A creature needs no movements to remain flying unless the Class dictates they must sacrifice at least half of their movements to do so. Stunned creatures will fall instantly.
  
• Falling Prone: A creature knocked prone while flying will fall. They first safely descent a distance equal to their Jump Good capability, but further momentum cause falling damage. The creature is not actually prone until it lands and takes falling damage.
  
• Landing: If a creature flies to a surface it can hold onto or rest on, the creature can land safely.
  
• Terrain: Terrain on the ground has no effect on flying creatures. They ignore difficult terrain or other ground based hazards, but are still affected by aerial terrain.

[/ul]

Holding Your Breath

Pull, Push, and Slide

• Pull: When you pull a creature, you must bring it nearer to you.
  
• Push: When you push a creature, you must move it farther away from you.
  
• Slide: When you slide a creature, there is no restriction on the direction you can move it.

Whether you are pulling, pushing, or sliding a target, certain rules govern all forced movement.

• Line of Effect: You must have line of effect to any area you pull, push, or slide a creature into.
  
• Distance in Meters: The technique you are using specifies how many meters you can move a target. You can choose to move the target a few meters or not to move it at all. You cannot move the target vertically.
  
• Specific Destination: Some techniques do not specify a distance in meters but instead specify a destination, such as “adjacent” (up to 2 meters to the left or right to you).
  
• No Opportunity Attacks: Forced movements do not provoke opportunity attacks or other opportunity movements.
  
• Ignore Difficult Terrain: Forced movement is not hindered by difficult terrain.
  
• Not a Move: Forced movement does not count against a target’s ability to move on its turn.
  
• Clear Path: Forced movement cannot move a target into an area it cannot enter by walking. The target cannot be forced into an obstacle or made to squeeze into an area.
  
• Catching Yourself: If you are forced over a precipice or a pit, you can catch yourself before falling. See “Falling”.
  
• Swapping Places: Some techniques let you swap places with a target.

[/ul]

Teleportation

• Line of Sight: You have to be able to see your destination.
  
• No Line of Effect: You can teleport to a place you can see even if you do not have line of effect to it.
  
• No Opportunity Attacks: Your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.
  
• Destination: Your destination must be an area you can occupy without squeezing.
  
• Instantaneous: When you teleport, you disappear from the area you occupy and immediately appear in a new area you choose. Creatures, objects, a terrain between you and your destination do not hinder your movement in any way.
  
• Immobilized: Being immobilized does not prevent you from teleporting. If you were immobilized because of a physical effect, such as a creature grabbing you, you can teleport away and are no longer immobilized or restrained, if applicable. If you were immobilized because of an effection on your mind or body, teleporting does not end that effect; you are still immobilized when you reach your destination.

Movements in Combat

Aid Another

• Aid Another: “B” Rank Weaving Movement You can aid a skill check made by an adjacent ally. Make an Average Skill check. If you succeed, you give +10 bonus to your alley’s next check using the same skill or ability. This bonus ends if not used by the end of the ally’s next turn.

[/ul]

Basic Attack

Break Check

• Movement: The action of a Break is a move-movement.
  
• Target: You can Break check against techniques or objects applicable to Break Checks.
  
• Provoke Opportunity Attack: If you fail a Break check adjacent to an enemy, that enemy can make an opportunity attack against you.
  
• Make a Break Check: Roll a 1d20, and add +1 for every 2 Might Points.
  
• Break Check against Techniques: Breack Check against users 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will.
  
• Break Check against Items: Some Items may call for a Break Check. The items below can have a Break Check.
  
  • Break Down simple door: 13
    
  • Break Down good door: 18
    
  • Break Down strong door: 23
    
  • Burst rope bonds: 23
    
  • Bend iron bars: 24
    
  • Break down barred door: 25
    
  • Burst chain bonds: 26
    
  • Break down iron door: 28
    
  • Chakra Lock: +10 against Break Check

[/ul]

Bull Rush

• Target: You can bull rush a target adjacent to you that is smaller than you, the same size category as you, or one category larger than you.
  
• Impossible Push: If there is no place you can push the target into, your bull rush has no effect.

[/ul]

Charge

• Move and Attack: Move as part of your charge and make a melee basic attack or a bull rush at the end of your move.
  
• Movement Requirements: You must move at least 4 meters from your starting position, and you must move directly to the nearest area from which you can attack the enemy. Moving over difficult terrain still applies to movement lost.
  
• Provoke Opportunity Attack: If you leave melee range from the enemy, that enemy can make an opportunity attack against you.

[/ul]

Choke

• Movement: The action of a choke is a move-movement, but can take up a round.
  
• Target: You can choke a target up to 1 size larger.
  
• Movement Requirements: A choke requires 2 free hands (or 1 hand if the target is 2 or more sizes smaller than you), the target must be within your reach and you must have an advantage against it. The hands cannot be used for anything else until the choke ends. When choking a target larger than yourself you must have assistance such as a chain. The target must have a neck which the player can fully grasp.
  
• Provoke Opportunity Attack: If you attempt to choke an enemy who has knowledge of your existence provokes an opportunity attack.
  
• Power Struggle: You and the target engage in a contest check of Fortitude vs. Fortitude. Note that this is a contest check, not an actual Save, so advantage does not apply. A contest check of Fortitude vs. Fortitude is both you and the target take their basic Fortitude, and roll a 1d20. Whoever has the highest number wins the contest.
  
• Escape Artist: A target may use Escape Artist to escape from this maneuver. The target must make a difficulty Check of (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will) x5 of the Target. (Example: Target has 100 in Escape Artist. User has is a "D" Class character with 1 Impeccable Will. Target must make a roll of 35 or below to Escape from the hold of the User reduces the Target's skill by 65.)
  
• Break Check: Break check can be applied to a Choke. Use same difficulty as Escape Artist minus the x5.
  
• Effect of a Choke: If you win the contest and the choke hold was applied to an unsuspecting target, the target is grappled and cannot breathe, speak, nor perform Jutsus requiring a verbal component. The target is out of breath and immediately begins to suffocate (creatures which do not need to breathe are unaffected by this). If you are applying a choke hold to a target who knows of your existence then follow the Holding Your Breath Rules. You must use a move-movement to maintain the choke. A choke automatically causes 4 armour points of bludgeoning damage that bypasses hardness and damage reduction. Prior choke attempts do not contribute to a new choke attack against a creature.
  
• Suffocating: When a creature runs out of breath, it can survive for a number of rounds equal to 1 per 2 points of Toughness (minimum 1 round). Target becomes unconscious. Unconsciousness lasts for an Extended Rest, or with a First Aid: Healing check Average Difficulty.
  
• Moving a Choking Creature: This is the same as a Power Struggle.
  
• Escaping a Choke: Anything which ends a grapple will similarly end a choke. In addition, the attacker can end the choke at any time as a free-movement.

[/ul]

Coup De Grace

• Helpless Target: You can deliver a coup de grace against a helpless enemy adjacent to you. Use any technique you could normally use against the enemy, including a basic attack. You hit with a critical hit.
  
• Slaying the Target Outright: If you deal damage greater than or equal to their Armour Points (if they have any) the target dies.

[/ul]

Delay

• Delay Entire Turn: You must delay your entire turn, so you cannot delay if you are already taken a movement on your turn. You also cannot delay if you are dazed or if you are unable to take a movement.
  
• Losing a Delayed Turn: If you do not take your delayed turn before your next normal turn comes along, you lose the delayed turn.
  
• Start of Your Turn: At the moment you delay, carry out the start of your turn normally.
  
• End of Your Turn: You do not have a normal end of your turn. Instead, the things you do at the end of your turn happen at two separate times.
  
  • End Beneficial Effects When You can Delay: At the moment you delay, end effects that last until the end of your turn and that are beneficial to you or your allies. For example, if on your previous turn you stunned an enemy until the end of your next turn, the stunned condition ends. You cannot prolong a beneficial effect by delaying.
    
  • End Sustained Effects When You Delay: You cannot sustain a technique if you delay. Because you have not spent movements to sustain any techniques, sustainable effects end.

Healing in Combat

Regeneration

• Heal Each Turn: If you have regeneration, you can regain a specified amount of damage at the start of your turn. If you are dead you do not regain through regeneration.

• Not Cumulative: If you gain regeneration from more than one source, only the largest amount of regeneration applies.

[/ul]

• Do not Count Toward Maximum: Temporary Armour Points do not count when you compare your current armour points to your maximum armour points.
  
• Lose Temporary Armour Points First: When you take damage, subtract it from your temporary armour points. It you take more damage than your temporary armour points, extra damage reduces your armour points, or affects your character.
  
• Do Not Add Together: If you get temporary armour points from different sources, use the lighter values as your temporary armour points total instead of adding the values together.
  
• Last Until You Rest: Your temporary armour points last until they are reduced to 0 by damage or until you take an extended rest.
