Getting Started

Names and Explanations

[/font]

In the world of Naruto, Stamina stands for both your character's physical endurance and their supply of Chakras. Both are interchangeable because Chakra itself comes directly from Stamina and either can be converted into the other through sheer will. Chakra is not actually Stamina, but is rather made up of the physical component there of and the spiritual component of a character's being. It can then be used to do more elaborate acts that a person would normally be incapable of doing known as Ninjutsu.

A character may only act in combat so long as his Stamina allows for him to do so. Deductions of Endurance or Chakra will both subtract equally from the character's Stamina score. When a character reaches 0 stamina, they are no longer capable of acting within battle and must rest. If they continue to act within battle, they offer themselves up for death as they do so.

STRENGTH

Physical Strength is the body's power to give and withstand attacks. Having a higher physical strength does not always require that one has a more muscular form, and the opposite is also true. Having muscle mass means nothing if that muscle is not trained. Character's with a higher stat score will be more capable of delivering damaging blows and will be able all around stronger. But they also definitely increase their toughness as they get stronger, being able to take more damage without injury.

SPEED

As expected, having a higher speed will not only help your character move across further distances at a faster pace, it also will benefit your character's ability to dodge. Being able to avoid an attack simply requires moving out of the way. A character who can move faster will have an easier time doing this than a slower character. So having a faster speed will directly benefit your character's ability to avoid incoming attacks.

DEXTERITY

Being able to perform articulate tasks in a quick manner is usually a good thing. Character's whom have high dexterity scores not only can scribe faster, but they can also prepare traps quicker and even form hand seals at an increased pace. Being able to form hand seals quickly in combat will help any Ninjutsu-utilizing character. Having a dexterous body will make each character more flexible and have better hand-eye coordination. This allows for them to do things that other characters would not be capable of.

KNOWLEDGE

Though knowledge may affect what a character may know, it does not always affect their intelligence. In this idea, a character may know allot and still be rather dim-witted. And the reverse is also true. A character can only have a number of skills equal to their Knowledge score, adding the modifiers from rank. They may only register as many techniques or style in each rank of jutsu as their character rank permits and their skill limit allows.

A character's ability to utilize skills revolved around Genjutsu defense is also based on Knowledge. So having a higher Knowledge will help any character fight illusions.
