[quote=@edgeout] I feel that's the point though - to start super weak and get stronger. If we all graduated from academy, then, we shouldn't have mastered these techniques, we should be learning them + all the custom techs are a bit OP - including mine. But hey I'm not complaining too much ;) That is why I said Branch's body flicker shouldn't be that developed. Just because an abillity is rank D desn't make it weak - it depends on how strong the user is. Nor does it mean that you get the maximum of the abillity right away :P [/quote] Nitpicking to the maximum is what I'd call this; See, a single, rank D - easy to learn technique like body flicker technique isn't going to ruin the roleplay, thus removing all the growth room our characters currently have. Also, I'm absolutely sure no character is a master at any of these techniques, save maybe Ves' since he has specifically practiced it (? I think so at least) Being a master at that technique would mean crossing great distances in a few seconds, not going from X building within the village to the academy. Now; regarding custom jutsu, well? Do point out your worries and we, as a group, will discuss them and possibly tweak down those pesky overpowered custom? ---- Uh, idk if you noticed, but most characters are 16+ - it has also been stated a few times that they're more advanced because of hard times with a war knocking on the door. :D
