There are two ranking and progression types within Shinobi no Chaban, those being your Letter Rank and Named Rank.
A letter rank is purely systematic and does not exist within roleplay. It is merely to gauge how many base points, skill points, Jutsu slots, etc. you have. Letter ranks are earned through gaining EXP. ( D -> S rank. )
A named rank is your IRP standing. According to your feats and influence within the IRP world, your village will assign you a named rank. ( Genin, Chunin, Jonin. ) Your letter rank can be indicative of your named rank as the base points and capabilities earned from being a higher rank could allow easier display of feats and vice versa. But they are not the same thing nor entirely reliant on one another. Your named rank will grant you opportunities within your village for hidden Jutsu, locked Jutsu, opportunities, etc.
Most OCs, staff or players, start off at D rank.
To Rank Up, you must gain EXP.
Whenever you rank up, you gain a certain amount of Jutsu slots, rank BP, and skill points.
EXP GAIN
EXP is granted through Bi-Weekly tasks, Missions and Events. The terms of these are detailed within respective discord channels.
EXP EXCHANGE
Players can exchange EXP for Jutsu slots, Rank BP and skill points before progressing to the next rank. This is to ensure there are minor power increases during Rank Progression.
There is a limit to how many resources can be bought with EXP before progressing to the next letter rank.
Exchanging EXP holds you back from ranking up.
If a player chooses to rank up before they’ve purchased all resources, they can no longer access them.
2 EXP = 1 BP
8 EXP = 1 SKILL POINT
XP required indicates how much EXP you need to hit to rank-up without exchanging.
Base Elements shown are additive per rank.
Table counts total Jutsu per rank, not additive.
Does not include Jutsu granted by skill-trees.
Custom Jutsu can be converted into canon but not vice versa.
You can only create customs for a Jutsu rank once you have a canon at base from your letter rank. ( i.e. you need to have 1 S Rank Canon slot at base to get an S rank custom Jutsu even if you have the slot from skills. )
A person with ( 3 ) in a certain skill ( 2 for Bukijutsu and Shuriken ) can teach anyone one free SP in a skill.
This free SP cannot be used to reach the same level as the teacher directly. A player can only gain this 1 free SP 3 times in total at D rank. You can get taught an extra 2 SP per rank. ( So 2 more at C, 2 more at B, etc. )
Each instance of teaching requires a scene at the minimum.
Jutsu can also be taught. Up to one Jutsu per rank can be taught to a player without consuming a slot. However, the player must be a certain rank to learn certain Jutsu for free.
D Rank - D Rank Jutsu
C Rank - C Rank and B Rank Jutsu
B Rank - A Rank Jutsu
A Rank - S Rank Jutsu
*Only one SP can be taught per scene
*Only one Jutsu can be taught per scene
*SP Teaching has a weekly cooldown, while Jutsu teaching and learning follows conventional cooldowns listed in the channel.
Must submit the learning to the “jutsu-learn submission” even if it’s taught SP.
