Re: Naruto like campaign, beginner needs help
kool. For the effect I talked about, it would not be an 'active' effect, such as the dummy striking back. More like the attack being affected by what he hit. In the case of earth, possibly taking damage do to hitting a stone object. This might really be a mute point as in this type of game, punching through stone may be done on a regular basis. Was just trying to make it a bit more dynamic per school. Not really needed.
Still this is great. I just need to have it's use cleared up a bit. When I would attempt this at say level 3 (skill would be 6), I would call this skill as my attempt to dodge. Would I be rolling against the 6 or my regular dodge, but getting below 6 means I pull off the technique? |

A better approach would be using the guidelines under Power Ups 1 Imbue and "turning skills into advantages" (I just dont remember where is that now). However, you could also use a limited version of Warp with a nuisance effect (visual manifestation - dummie) and linked with the desired version of the effects the dummies must have (like binding for the Water). Emergencies Only, Active Defense, plus the Chi (-10 or -15%) and "Cost Chi Only" (-10%/level) |

Re: Naruto like campaign, beginner needs help
I was working a 'warp' power for Air. It's base is 100pts. Looking at how it works, I was looking at this:
Warp (base 100pts), 1 Second at -5 IQ • Costs CHI -5%/point • Costs extra CHI -5%/point • Reliable[2] gives +2 to rolls +10% • Range Limit (10 Yards) -50% but even if I work down the -%s, it can only drop to -80%, which would make it 20 pts. If it is a skill, not sure how that would translate to levels. I want the powers in this game to level, so I like Kelly's version of the substitution dodge. It seems to fit the way I want the mechanics to flow. @Kelly, Yes, it would have it declared from the dodge if you are expending Chi to perform the substitution maneuver. On a successful dodge, if you roll below your substitution skill, you dodge, substitute a dummy, and move to a new location as if that is where you were must be visible, and at max your move (legal moves) distance from where you attempted the dodge. Maybe like at every 5th level, you can buy the substitution part, that will upgrade the effect every 5. In this instance, I might make it an option to buy (though I think I can work it as 1 pt. per level similar to the Arms of Stone)... Can this 'skill' be based off Dodge then? Or should it be DX or IQ? Here is another part in the equation where I seem to falter... Last edited by InLaNoche; 04-12-2017 at 04:40 PM. |

I'll think about that, but I'm liking Kelly's lightning Speed, but might want that to be limited use? anyways, all great stuff. I keep bumping back and forth, I need to finish at least 1 template... :) |

Re: Naruto like campaign, beginner needs help
I was just about to ask about this. So for instance, there is the innate attack advantage, which is the actual power. Then you have the innate attack skill, which you would use instead of DX for the roll. Do I create them separately? Or do I combine them as a power skill? Would the base cost be the combination of the two? How would I work levelling up increasing damage and skill with the attack? Is it as simple as paying both costs?

I personally dont agree with the book that this shouldnt change the cost of the power, because in my opnion it does, usually nobody will spend more than a single point on a skill, rather increasing atributes... And even if someone WOULD, its 4 pts per level on a skill, while you can increase IQ, HT and ST with 10, DX with 15 and Per or Will with only 5... So, its not really worthed. |
