Zaer Darkwail: And minus the permanent effect, which is probably where most of the ECL comes from. :P<br/><br/>HollowX: Also, you have another +5 Defense from class levels. And is that studded armor from D&D? :P While my first impulse is to find no problem with it, I think allowing those might negate some of the use in spending the feat to get medium or heavy proficiency. (Chain Shirts, for instance, grant +4 AC while the heaviest medium armor only grants +5) ...Compared to the +2 and +5 difference in archaic armors from D20 Modern and Naruto.<br/><br/>It works fairly well for D&D 'cause there's no class bonus to defense. :P<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">You've officially been pulled from your D-Rank mission meeting with the village elders of Hamamura. Most of Tanigakure's ninja are out on mission right now, including a few out-of-country. Team Maki, you've now been tasked with a special C-Rank mission. Some locals near the western border have reported seeing some seals and markings in the mountains.<br/><br/>Intelligence suggests that this is evidence of a shinobi stronghold that has been hidden with a high-level ninjutsu that is only now starting to lose its effect. Since most of these fortresses have been either destroyed or plundered since the hidden villages came into existence, it is very likely that this particular site dates as far back as the era of the clans themselves.<br/><br/>This mission will bring you close to the Land of Wind, and it is unknown what sort of resistance you may encounter. As such, Tanigakure has tasked a member of the Mibu clan to assist you. If Sunagakure is also aware of this location's existence, they may very well send out a team to exploit it. We <strong>must </strong> find and lay claim to this fortress first, but do <strong><em>not</em></strong> start a war.<br/><br/>Go to the village of 9 falls, Kyuutakimura. From there make contact with the locals and move to the objective. As soon as manpower permits, another team will be sent to relieve you.<br/><br/>-Signed, the Kawa Daimyo</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Edit: "Warning - while you were typing 6 new replies have been posted.

And 8 reserve.<br/><br/>I'll have to write up something for the True Red Eyes feat, although since it's a training regimen and not neccesarily something you're born with, the name 'True' might be a misnomer. Although I should say that just from my gut feeling, this proposed feat seems somewhat... vastly underpowered. :P<br/><br/>Most of the benefit from True Red Eyes comes from the constant activation. The ability to use those techniques and skills while Red Eye'd are nice... but ultimately you'd be better off using Taijutsu exclusively with the strength increase. In all likelihood, the only reason the second part of that feat exists is to make the first part bearable from an RP perspective. :P<br/><br/>Hrrmmm.
