HOW TO FIGHT

A battle is played out fairly simply. Someone posts what their character does, and then someone else posts what their character does. This goes back and forth until they come to some conclusion. The actual battles in this regard are free-form.

There are generally three ways you can "win" or at least stop a fight. The most obvious way is to reduce your opponent's Health or Chakra to 0.


Rules of Engagement

1: You do NOT God-Mod. God-Modding is detailed HERE.


2: Posting everything your character does.

Quote:
 
You cannot have it "turn out" that the person your opponent has been fighting is a bunshin, for instance. This includes the plans and thoughts of your character.


3: Post your stats before combat. Posting your stats once per page is optimal.


4: Under your post, include how much damage you intend to do and from what sources. copy of the techniques used and your Health/Chakra with a show of how much damage you took. For instance, you could have something like this:

Quote:
 
4 Kunai- 5 Damage (Each)
Punch- 3 Damage
Fire Element; Mythical Phoenix Fire Skill- 15


5: One Taijutsu and Ninjutsu may be used in the same post together.

Generally, Jutsu are one per post. There are some exceptions. A jutsu that is "maintained" by paying an on going cost only counts against the one per post rule the post it's initially used. A character can theoretically have an unlimited number of ongoing effects, it will just be extremely taxing. Some jutsu specifically state they don't count against the 1 per rule.



Using Jutsu in Battle

The following is a short tutorial for using jutsu in battle.

It is not required reading, especially for those who are familiar to Naruto RPGs, but it may help newer members.

To use jutsu in battle, you merely describe your character using the jutsu.

However, there are several guidelines to using them. The person(s) you are RPing with shouldn't have to look at that jutsu and should be able to get everything they need from your actual post. The only reason we force people to post the jutsu is so that the person you are RPing with can get details such as the amount of damage the jutsu inflicts.


Here are some ways not to use jutsu in battle:

Dan ducked under the kunai that was aimed for his head and knew that another one would follow. If he wanted any chance to win this battle he would have to seize control and go on the offensive. To accomplish that, he would need a distraction.

After some quick thinking he put his hands together and performed the seals to Bunshin no Jutsu, A basic technique which creates false clones of the user. The clones are used as a diversion while the user attacks. The clones are incapable of attacking and disappear if directly hit.

After having both himself and his newly created clone dodge the latest kunai attack by rolling in separate directions, Dan charged at Shiro from the right while his newly created clone charged from the left.

After some quick thinking he decided that Bunshin no Jutsu would serve this purpose nicely. Dan quickly performed the technique and created three clones. Two of them dodged the second kunai by rolling to the left while Dan and another bunshin dodged by rolling to the right. All four Dans quickly fanned out and charged at Shiro, hoping that this distraction would give him the time he needed to bring this battle into close range.


The issues with these examples:

Post A: Simply copied and pasted the technique into the actual post. This not only added a needless amount of length to the post and generally looks sloppy, but makes the post hard to follow.

Post B: Suffered from a lack of detail. How many Bunshins did Dan create? Who attacked from where? What "directions" are the clones attacking from?

Post C: Is actually fairly decent, but it is missing one key thing, hand-seals. It is a fairly common mistake to forget them and merely say that you are performing the technique. It is generally best to at least make some reference to performing the hand-seals for Nin, Gen, and Medical Jutsu. You don't need to say what hand-seals you performed or how long it took, as that would be an unrealistic requirement.

Now, let us look at an acceptable post that centers on the use of a technique:

All four Dans quickly fanned out before charging at Shiro full force, hoping this would give him the time he needed to bring the battle into close range.


Note that that example post is just that, an example. There are many ways to RP and many people have their own style. We not only accept that but encourage people to be original.
