Casting Jutsu's & Neutral Natures
So I started thinking about this because it eternal eyes brought up the problems with the resangon in the current build.
I made a small summery of the idea in the suggestions 1.0.8 thread but thought I should explain everything here because it ties in to the feats associated with chakra control.
to start with I would like to address the chakra natures it's obvious everyone knows how this works
Week Nature Strong
Water. Fire Wind
Fire Wind. Lightning
Wind. Lightning Earth
Lightning Earth. Water
Earth. Water. Fire
(Sorry if there not quite lined up)But what happens when a neutral nature hits an elemental nature.
There are a few things to consider in desiding the outcome of to Jutsu like this
And it mainly has to do with the effect the change in form will have, the focus needed to perform the change in form , and power of the chakra used in the change in form.
Why is the rasangon ranked higher in power and difficulty then chidori an elemental Jutsu???
The focus and power needed to create the chakra form is much more intense for the caster of the resangon then for the chidori.
The jutsus both move chakra out of the body to the hand but but the rasangon dose so with more power then the chidori.so
the question becomes how to get this effect in game?
The awnser is already in game the number hand signs!!
Hand signs should corisponrd to the 5 things that make up Jutsu
Focuse
Power
Jutsu effect
Change in nature
Nature combinations
Your primary nature will determine the order the numbers are cast in.
This is so more Jutsu can be used with the same numbers and totals 25 Jutsu with the same numbers to be exact.
The totals of the numbers will determan what happens- and the nature's will effect the power number of the Jutsu casted. So if a fire Jutsu is cast against a wind Jutsu- half of the power of the wind Jutsu is added to the fire Jutsu.
So a wind Jutsu with
Focuse 6
Power 8
Effect 5
Nature 1
Combined 0
Vs
A fire Jutsu
Power 2
Effect 5
Nature 1
Combined 0
Focuse 6
Fire would win as expected. With a total of 18 vs winds 16, and would use much less powerful Jutsu to do it.
But lest do realistic comparison of rasangon and Chidori
Winds style order
Focuse 9
Power 9
Effect 1
Nature 0
Combined 0
Vs
Lightning style order
Nature 2
Combined 0
Power 8
Focuse 6
Effect 4
As you can see lightning chidori will still win but only just barely by a score of 20 to 19. But because rasangon is neutral the elemental modify action to the power of chidori is not applied. Even though the Shinobi using resangon has wind style nature.
