The following note has been added to apply to Solo-rping and group-rping;

"Note: This applies to Solo-rping and group-rping; By the end of the thread, it's either Words OR Exp, not both. The only time you actually receive Words AND Exp is during Group-rping because of the Bonus Exp.
Ex. end of solo-thread: 400 words, I can convert that to 400 exp and have 0 words, or 400 words and 0 exp.
ex2. end of group-thread; 400 words + 400 bonus exp, I can convert the 400 words to 200 exp and have 400 bonus exp giving me a total of 600 exp and 0 words, or I can keep it at 400 words and 400 bonus exp. "

The Site's stat system had been tweaked some. Thing's should work out a bit smoother now, so reread it all.

the formula for Atk and Agi and Tou had been tweaked and changed, hopefully, for the better.

Edit: A thanks to Khaos to pointing out the problems with the stat system and offering suggestions for the changes.

Just throwing this out there; We have a bunch of new Custom Clans and Custom Specialties.

A shinobi with a bloodline that doesn't use a combined element can only have a max of 3 elements. (No combined elements)

A Job system has been added to the site. It's located in the handbook. These jobs are available to all no matter what rank you are. This is a test of the system currently, so please be aware as feedback is given the job system may change up in the future, for now just deal with what we have there.

A note has been added to the mission's and bounties section to make it clear that you have to at least be genin rank to have access to them.

Note1: You must be at least a Genin rank to access Missions.

https://nindobeginning.rpg-board.net/t22-missions-bounty-system

I fixed my earlier error in the wording of the yuki clan.

the 25% off is for learning the ice affinity.

while the other 25% off is towards water, wind, and ice jutsus.

Chakra control system has been added. Every must look it over.
It can be found at this link.

https://nindobeginning.rpg-board.net/t1-shinobi-guide#2

I made a minor edit to the "want to rank up?" section within the shinobi guide.
https://nindobeginning.rpg-board.net/t1-shinobi-guide#3

It now says;

[*]Graduation exams is a minimum of 1,500 words. (To become Genin rank)
[*]Chuunin exams are Village specific events hosted by the staff. (To become Chuunin rank)
[*]Jounin exams are Village private specific events hosted by the staff. (To become Jounin rank)

Hopefully this clears up any confusion that there was prior to this. I'm sorry for an inconvenience this may have brought upon you.

There was a very minor change to the Mind body switch skill of the yamanaka clan. Hopefully it clears up any confusion as it's suppose to be more difficult for a yamanaka to control someone if their target has greater exp then they do.

https://nindobeginning.rpg-board.net/t4-the-yamanaka-clan#10

If there is still confusion, please let me know how it's confusing you and I was work into trying to fix it again.

https://nindobeginning.rpg-board.net/t73-the-samurai#128

Cost to acquire the first tier of samurai has been added, 1500 words.

https://nindobeginning.rpg-board.net/t37-kushiyose#45

Fixed an error in the Kuchiyose technique; Non summoners can only create 3 summons, so when they can make them matches how many they can create, so the % are 0%, 60% and 100%
