For now, we will lower the cost as we level it up, we will get chakra cost lowering techniques like the leaf sticking excercise, and we will raise our chakra a lot over time.
We can still use those, but only once per day
This is actually going to be somewhat awkward to count since you are doing by line. I suggest that instead of "choose one" it is "3rd place" for whatever was in the training vote
I won't if it is an option, because there is no in character reason not to, which is why I am saying that the system should not allow it in the first place
Alright, so we aren't that far behind. Only 14 stat points behind, 8 if we spend what we have now, which will probably be grinded over the next month. This doesn't account for skills, but I doubt we are doing too shabbily there.
Only our genjutsu is rated as "pretty bad". Our Taijutsu is a D+, and will probably go up with increased Fitness, even if we don't focus expressly on Taijutsu. I suggest we do work on our Fitness, cause it's our lowest stat, and it will increase our Chakra pool as much as Intelligence does.
We could just buy one. We got the money.
it's rather a waste to work on it now due to the child penalty. better to work on our chakra instead while we have said penalty
@ryuan will this happen automatically or do we need to do a write in to buy better kunai?
I'm not going to give you the skill ranks of the other academy students.
It'd be just as much of a waste to work on intellect. If our goal is ONLY Chakra, then yeah, it's best to work on it directly, otherwise if we are wanting higher stats as well Fitness is the way to go.
Instead of Intellect, can you do Fitness? It increases our Chakra just as much, and it's our lowest stat area.
All right, I'm happy with descriptions of how the classes are going. Can we get the stats, tho?
I agree with you there. physical training is better than int training right now.
that is very much true as well, if we want to purely improve our martial ability and not magic we should be grinding taijutsu not physical stats
Alright, thanks
I'd like to shore up our physical stats so they aren't so low, improving our taijutsu and chakra pool all at once.
Physical training doesn't improve our taijutsu (skills), it improves our melee combat ability (aka, we deal more damage).
Yes, but Taijutsu training is focused on the Taijutsu skill, not our physical stats, leaving those pitfully low and not improving the chakra pool. It's about killing multiple birds with one stone.
You are not killing multiple birds with one stone. "Better one bird in hand than 2 in the tree" apply here.
You did see the stat comparison right? We are getting a few points every turn without focusing on either fitness or taijutsu. Taijutsu not only gives far larger gains to our melee combat, it also grinds our physical stats, enough that we will catch up in a handful of months. Taijutsu is pretty much the core of low-mid level ninja combat here, and we are utter shit at it. That can go on.
Except taijutsu does not give us +10 melee, it gives us +10% melee. Again, it's a multiplier. By increasing our base stats, we increase how powerful that multiplier is. Currently, our Taijutsu score gives us a +76% in our fighting ability. Suppose training increases our stat by 4 points (it did when we did intelligence), that would turn out to be +7 melee. To get the same by increasing the skill, we would need to turn the +76% into +116%. Which seems doable, but I do not believe we will go at all higher than that.
Converting % to numbers is not exactly rocket science, it is basic algebra. I was using the same notation for both to avoid confusion. Also, the figures were meant to clarify the difference between "two birds with one stone" and "two birds in the tree" rather than being hard figures.
+3 stat points and +48 skill levels
+36 skill levels
+6 stat points
It is not just doable, it is far far far easier to do so via skill training than stat training
But 1 skill level =! 1 stat level. Each skill level gives a +6%, while how much of a percentage increase a stat does is related to how high that stat is. Our stats are currently really low. The balance is further pushed in the favor of stats, in that all those skills were levels were scattered over a bunch of different skills, which are more selective than the stats. All the skills draw from the same stats, so increasing those stats increase all of those skills.
