speaking of which, we really need to brief you on the source of chakra beasts and the upcoming climate shift, but let's hold on that for a moment because we're just about caught up.

Of course we have to deal sentient global warming in order to save the world.

I mean, it makes sense. If entropy is given the finger, the energy has to go somewhere.

e: Besides, if anychumpsone wants to make a bet that Radvic couldn't resolve global warming in-universe in 30 minutes of thought, I'm open to that :p

I should have said this earlier:

I'm sorry for not writing the thing you all voted on. I stared at it for a good while trying to come up with something and having absolutely no clue what to do with it.

@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail How goes the rules-smithing? We are all so very eager to stress test them.

Goes well. We need @OliWhail to sign off but he's occupied this weekend. After he signs off we still need to do some more work on the jutsu rules, but we should be able to do another release soonish.

@Oneiros, you'll be glad to hear that a lot of your concerns got addressed -- not all, but a lot.

S'all good! We're just trying to get the most out of our downtime, honestly -- once you've got the numbers all sorted out, an approximate gauge of Pangolin rolls ("Better than Akane, worse than Mari", etc.) would do just as well to that end.

On which note, here's my estimation of the skills of our kiddos by comparison (adjusted for the change in system):
(Genin -> Chuunin-Aspirant -> Chuunin -> Special Jounin -> Jounin)
Keiko
Weapons: Above-average for Chuunin-aspirant
Chakra: Significantly above average for Chuunin
Athletics: Average for Chuunin (when modified by Vacuum Step, significantly above average)
Alertness: Low-average for Chuunin
Summoning: Outside of ordinary bounds of skill assessment. Bumps her up a threat-category, at minimum.

Akane
Taijutsu: Average for Chuunin, exceptional/special-jounin level with fighting style(s) and seals. Against Non-taijutsu specialists, rolls closer to jounin levels.
Chakra: High genin/low chuunin
Athletics: Low-average for Chuunin
Alertness: Low-average for Chuunin-Aspirant

Hazou
Taijutsu: As Akane. Has potential to roll at ~jounin levels given time to train with Kagome's fighting style, as it combines well both with Roki and Macerators.
Chakra: High Genin
Athletics: High Average for Chuunin-aspirant
Alertness: Average for Chuunin-Aspirant, when supplemented with Ninjutsu bumps him to High Chuunin
Sealing: As with Keiko, bumps him (and everyone he's friendly enough to supply with seals) up a threat level. Approximately low-chuunin in sealing. (by my estimate, 20 is chuunin, 35-40 is jounin)

Noburi
Water Whip: Mid Chuunin
Syrup Trap: High Chuunin/Special Jounin (at least according to the old system)
Vampiric Dew: High Genin/Low Chuunin-Aspirant
Athletics: Low Average for Chuunin-Aspirant
Alertness: High-Average for Chuunin-Aspirant
Chakra: High-average for Wakahisa Chuunin-Aspirant (he's been serving to help keep his team stay supplied for the duration of his time away from Mist; if that isn't Wakahisa-style chakra capacity training I don't know what is).
I may have been slightly generous, I'm not entirely sure how the "average" chuunin exam participant would be built, but this is my best guess.

e:

Oh! One other thing I was gonna mention. I think that non-leveled but high(er) base XP cost techniques should be better represented. Stuff like, say, Zephyr's Reach doesn't really need to be leveled. Also, Rasengan. I could see it being as good as it gets once you have it mastered, until you develop new variants.

And on the note of other ninjutsu: Water Whip allows both moderately ranged whip-based fighting styles and an up-close taijutsu variant. On that note it might be valid to give Noburi the ability to roll Taijutsu at, say, .75x Water Whip level?

More things that general jutsu category Skills solve! :p

(I got opinions and I'll have 'em until I'm given reason not to, at which point I'll have new ones based on available evidence :D)

Not an issue at all. @eaglejarl , @Velorien, and @OliWhail have all clearly split into two parts, with one part entering the quest-world and the other part staying over here and writing. Evidence: the fact that the quest has in fact continued long beyond Tension in the Kill Box.
