Jutsu Creation Costs
*Everyone starts out with FOUR creation points. Every year that goes by will grant you TWO creation points even during Time skip. If you DR you will start with EIGHT.
E-ranks cost 0 creation points and can be made regardless of rank. (Do not spam the creation of E-ranks just for the sake of 'fun' jutsu)
D-ranks cost 1 creation point. Requires E Rank.
C-Ranks Cost 2 Creation Point. Requires D rank
B-Ranks Cost 4 Creation Points. Requires C Rank
A-Ranks Cost 6 Creation Points. Requires B Rank
S-Ranks Cost 7 Creation Points. Requires A Rank (S-ranks will be limited, so don't go in under the assumption that you should save for multiple S-ranks)
Perk Requirements
Creating and learning techniques will require the user to have specific perks that would match up with the jutsu. Although it's up to your discretion on what may or may not fit the jutsu, admins may bring in their own thoughts of what may be needed for such a technique to viably exist.
In order to create jutsu with shape, such as perfect spheres of water, fire dragons, and chakra arms, the creator of the technique must possess the Shape Training perk.
At LEAST -Element- Training is required for a D rank elemental jutsu
At LEAST -Element- Specialist are required for C rank elemental jutsu.
At LEAST -Element- Proficiency III are required for B rank elemental jutsu.
At LEAST -Element- Proficiency IV are required for A rank elemental jutsu.
At LEAST -Element- Proficiency V are required for S rank elemental jutsu.
Highest Jutsu Stats
This in particular is more guideline than rule, as jutsu can and will be faster/slower/stronger/weaker than others. These numbers represent the highest possible speed/power that most jutsu can reach for said rank. An exception can be made if enough sound reason is given.
D rank: 20 (But case by case)
C rank: 40
B rank: 60
A rank: 70-80
S rank: ???
Jutsu Scaling
Ninjutsu are capable of, but typically do not scale with control. For control scaling to be plausible for a technique, it typically requires for the technique to be, at minimum, an A rank. Techniques that scale with control tend to start of severely on the weak side, with the benefit of out-powering its similarly ranked techniques once the proper control for it has been reached. These are techniques that get stronger as the user does, and will typically be looked over with much more care.
Physical techniques will typically scale. Taijutsu techniques in particular have power that scales by strength. This is not limited by a minimum rank requirement, however the scaling for taijutsu techniques is typically +3/-3 for every 10 strength over the endurance of the enemy. Weapon-based techniques on the other hand usually add to the overall damage/speed of the attack depending on the rank of the technique. However, they rarely add on to both, and if they do are more likely than not lower in power and speed than their similarly ranked sword techniques.
