The Birth of Steel

- Starting ECL: 5
- 40-point buy or 5d6, taking the three best, rerolling ones. (Roll first, if the results aren't satisfactory then use point buy)
- Max HP on levels 1,2&3
– have Balance, Chakra Control, Climb, Disguise, Genjutsu, Hide, Listen, Move Silently,
Ninjutsu, Search, Spot, Survival and Taijutsu as permanent class skills.
- be able to recover Chakra loss twice as fast.
- Starting techniques will be 1d4+1/Level
- +2 to one Preform Skill, this is purely for RP value and may only be used to gain Ryo, there are other slight benefits to it but that you will have to figure out for yourself. Finally on this point you will not need to upgrade this skill, I will tell you when it goes up Via the amount of times it is used
- You may select a trump card of two ranks below your Heroic level, this can be changed at every level up
- All characters receive their opening level armor proficiency and nin-weapon proficiency.
- No Bijuu or Demon subtypes will be allowed at the start of the game how ever they will become available later in the game by using the Tekkou Fuuin technique described in Infinitus's Alternative Jinchuuriki rules, the bijuu and Jinchuuriki will also be made from those rules. I would however appreciate it if you could state that this is a path you would be interested in taking so I can plan for it (if someone could supply a link to it, it would be appreciated.)
- Rank feats will be given out at specific levels and all characters start with Genin.

– be able to learn techniques with only half the normal time.
– be able to move at up to 5 times his normal speed. (this does not apply to combat)
– count as armed and deal lethal damage with unarmed strikes even without the Combat
Martial Arts feat (as per optional rule).
- Optional Rule: Nonlethal Damage Option, is in play
- Due to the brokenness of being able to select only level 5 techniques I am implementing a Pyramid Scheme into opening techniques, this will also be a better reflection of what the character learn't through out his years at the academy and the short time he/she has spent as a genin and is only applied to starting techniques. It works like so, you need at least two techniques of the rank below the selected technique, so for example: to get one 5th rank technique you need to have 2 4th rank, 3 3rd rank, 4 2nd rank and 5 1st rank.
- All learning checks will be made off 1 roll.
- I expect at least 4 posts per week if a player goes MIA for more then a week their character will either be killed or become a missing Nin in which case if you return you either need to explain yourself in character to the council. If the council decides that your reasoning for disappearing is valid you may keep your character if not you are still classed as a missing nin I will then take control of your character and you may create a new one. Should you go MIA more then three times in this game you will be banned from the game. (And I will be pretty annoyed)

The same character creation rules apply except for the following
- Starting ECL: 20
- The Pyramid Scheme only applies to the first 5 levels, after that you are free to select any Techniques you wish.
- Rank: Jounin
- The +2 in one preform becomes a +8
- The Co-Dm's character may only be used if half the party is K.O. In other words two Genin are already down. (there is another condition to the use of the character but that will only take place much later in the game)
- Because of how rarely your characters will come into play I have set up a mini game just for you it is some what like risk, Rules for it will be provided Here, it has also been placed in a completely new Game to avoid Meta Gaming
- The Co-Dm's job in all of this is to make everything runs smoothly (Mostly mechanically), you wont need to worry about story line I will craft that, you also dont need to worry about creating enimies. It would be good if you could set the scene of the missions (I'll tell you what the mission will involve) and what not. there are a few characters that I will describe, personality and appearance wise these you wont have to worry about but it would be appreciated if you could flesh out other minor Npc's.
- Co-Dm Characters may also spar against each other
- Please post these apps in private threads in the relavant thread group... page... thingy

- The game will be set in time ranks of weeks, so when accepting a mission a set in game time will be given, that is how long the mission should last. Things like sparring and training will also be set in weeks, true a sparring match would in reality only last a couple of minutes but things like hospital time for the loser and recuperation time for the winner will also take place, these open times will give added opportunity for RP.
- Exp will be given out for the following: Good RP, Combat, and Sparring
-I'm likely to get asked about battle maps, Unfortunately I have a very small Data Cap and constantly uploading a Battle map will be a major drain on that. So If Co Dm's wish to use battle maps they may.
- Sparring Matches are considered to be to the death, A sparring match will only end if one player gives up or reduced to 1 or lower Hp if they they are reduced to below 1 HP they are automatically placed on 1 and will spend an additional week in hospital.
- Sparing may be done as a team or solo, Team sparring is to last man standing.
- Co-Dm's may create there own Genin if there are available slots in a team.

- Please make a new private thread here
- When your application is complete please place a stat block Here
- Co-Dm's will decide who will be on there teams.
- Closing date for the first run of Applications will be the 1st of November, but remember there will always be an opportunity to apply
