Kemono Shinzo Update 06/09/21

Kemono Shinzo has been patched based on a mod-edited submission by Ichengo Angelus. Thank you Ave for your submission. Any member can feel free to send us suggested updates for the guild for our review. The clan has been updated to be less of a pack animal aesthetic and more of a singular animal. Feel free to use a free respec if you have a Kemono Shinzo and do not like the changes.

New Game Update 12/31/21

A new section has been added to the experience system for another phase of character development and post-S+ content. New Game, made by Brooy, is a system for a character to reset and level up all over again to get even stronger. Here is how it works:

When a character reaches 200,000 XP, a new option is given to start again. The player must choose one of two paths for their character to go down. The character can either be reset beginning again at 0 XP or they can choose to reset to S+ rank. With both of these paths are some different rules and benefits.

To help everyone with the new game profile process we have added a new approval thread for submitting copies of your reset for approval to make sure the system is being used correctly. We are likely to make adjustments to this process as members try it out and give us feedback.

Read more here and here.

Cross-class Updates : July 10th, 2022
Taijutsu + Puppeteer and Bukijutsu + Puppeteers now receive an extra mechansim per puppet and a cost reduction in basic puppetry activations.

Quote:

Puppeteer – Bukijutsu: Mechanisms with blades are considered one rank higher when interacting with techniques. Your puppet strings can manifest from your shoulders, knees, hips, arms, and legs so that your hands are free for weapon attacks. Each puppet is allowed [1] additional mechanism slot reserved for a weapon-based mechanism. Does not count toward any mechanism limit. Not a unique mechanism. Does not count toward their mechanism limit. Basic puppetry attacks and defenses with weapons equipped cost [5] fewer chakra to perform per rank of the technique.

Puppeteer – Taijutsu: Physical impacts with the user's puppet are considered one rank higher when interacting with techniques. Your puppet strings can manifest from your shoulders, knees, hips, arms, and legs so that your hands are free for physical attacks. Each puppet is allowed [1] additional mechanism slot reserved for a spiritual based mechanism. Does not count toward any mechanism limit. Not a unique mechanism. Does not count toward their mechanism limit. Basic puppetry attacks and defenses performed with puppet limbs cost [5] fewer chakra to perform per rank of the technique (i.e body, external appendages)

Yin and Yang Release Guide, Yin Release for the Ketsuryugan, and Blood Knight/Academy Bloodline Overwhelming Updates 09/05/2022

Ave submitted an explanation for yin and yang release that has been mod approved and posted up now. Also, the Ketsuryugan now gives access to yin release as a chakra element.

By moderator vote, the wording on Blood Knight and the Academy System have been adjusted. Overwhelming from Blood Knight now is specified to apply to bloodline techniques and implant techniques up to S-Rank. If you select bloodline overwhelming from the academy system then it will only apply to your base bloodline and not to implants. If you have dual ancestry and not blood knight then the academy bloodline overwhelming can apply to one of your dual ancestry bloodlines. The reason this wording change was added is because the overwhelming reward from the academy system was outshining the blood knight discipline. Let us know if you have any questions.

Puppeteer Class, Kugutsu Update, and Residency Addition Updates 09/05/2022

Puppeteer characters have received additional Kugutsu slots. You can now claim +5 Kugutsu slots at Body Ranks B and A.
Please review the changes.
tab The new totals should grant a wider variety of kugutsu to players. You may be making important choices but always remember that no technique is set in stone.
tab Some players may also find themselves with more kugutsu slots than there currently are Kugutsu. This was an intentional change to accommodate any small installations of additional Kugutsu techniques.

The Kugutsu roster has received another update and has increased our puppetry techniques to a grand total of 48 techniques!
tab Older content have also been updated. Some techniques have had abilities adjusted and ranks have changed.
tab Please note that some new kugutsu have special notes that should offer minor special features to select builds.
tab Please note that Restricted techniques were introduced to the Kugutsu roster and will require first and second class specialization.

Residency Update: Two additional features have been added to the Residency System. These items are currently located under the [Additional Rooms] section. They require the bigger builds.
tab The option to purchase unique NPC guards has returned with special criteria to boost the odds on one's home turf.
tab The features go together. You will need an Outpost to buy a Certification!
tab Please enjoy the new additions and put them to use!
I am looking at you, Avedis and Kondo. You're welcome!

Implant System - Updated Requirements

The Implant System has received a small update.
Implants no longer have a Ryo cost associated with them, but have some new requirements:

-Implants require a surgery be done to obtain, which can only be done in sterile environments such as Hospital threads and RPC-owned medical facilities from the Residency System.
-Those without access to clean facilities can look to highly skilled medical shinobi for "alternative facilities".
-RPCs must now be C-Rank or higher body rank, and complete a challenging mission overseen by a moderator/kage. Implants for advanced stages of dojutsu have more difficult requirements.

Please see the Implant System page for more details!
