Summon Equipment and Masteries

[Katsumaru]

Individual Summoning Creature Info
Name: What is the name of the creature?
Classification: Junior, Senior, or Sage
Rank: D - S
Kind: Grounder, Digger, Flier, or Swimmer
Specialties: Primary & Secondary.
Description: What does the summoning look like? What is its gender?
Equipment: Any equipment that it may have, include here.
Techniques: List all of the techniques the summoning has.

1) What is the limitation for equipment in regards to amount of packs carried and maximum ryo spent? Primates, for example can justifiably use weaponry such as kunai and grenades, but that leaves open the question of just how much.

2) Can primates wear protectorates?

3) Do summons receive the three mastery perks?

Keep in mind summons may only use basic releases, Taijutsu and Genjutsu, making things like Kekkei Touta unattainable!

4) Can summons no longer learn Univeral Ninjutsu and Universal Taijutsu or is that an oversight?

5) Genjutsu now requires lm/admin permission. Is that also the case for summons?

6) Taijutsu primary is the only restriction on Hachimontonkou. What's the verdict on mythical summons and Hachimontonkou?

[1] We currently don't have one. I'm going to actually edit that in now and base it off their rank. Thank you Katsu. c: Expect to see that up shortly; it will be much like the shinobi limits.

[2] I don't see why not. They're humanoid. Anything within reason, you know? My bird Sage is big enough to wear a saddle, etc. Mods will judge case-by-case to make sure it's not exploited.

[3] No.

[4] Summons can learn universal. It's unspoken, but I'll make it more obvious.

[5] Yes. You'll need permission.

[6] I'm not sure on this one. You may need to ask Genbu.

1.) An exact number hasn’t been brought up in discussions with the summons to my knowledge, however I will say this—keep it within reason. Humans have a natural limitation to how much they can carry and while the summons are typically physically stronger, I would still prefer not to see a summon with 101 secondary weapons and several primary weapons. I’m sure an exact number will be discussed soon enough with the surfacing of this thread.

2.) I’ve never felt it wasn’t impossible for a summoning to have protectorates; so long as it fit the general build of the creature. Primates obviously able to wear humanoid armor. I think making custom armor for a summoning family beforehand and getting them approved will justify having it in a summoning family.

3.) The current summoning system hasn’t been revamped yet to fit the newly updated mastery perk system. I’m sure this will get resolved soon (I’ll probably work on it myself.)

4.) Summons should still be able to learn universal ninjutsu and Taijutsu—so long as its plausible for them to use them.

5.) I think it will still need Admin/LM approval, which can easily be granted or disallowed when going through the review process.

6.) Never seen a summoning with the gates, but I don’t think it’s impossible for a creature who can utilize chakra and possibly holds more knowledge then a normal shinobi does to have it. I’ll give you a more concrete answer when I get the information myself.
