New Summoning Template Questions

[Katsumaru]

My first question regards the kind.

Under which category would poison fall? Some lizards are capable of generating a poison, but I am not sure under which category that would go. Grounders?

Further, can different creatures in a family have different kinds of breakers? Such as one with the ability to genearate poison and another with the ability to dig.

And what does the Grounders kind encompass?

The second question regards this.

* 'D' – 1 basic release or Genjutsu Sense + 1 Racial Breaker
* 'C' – + 1 release, Sense or RB
* 'B' – + 1 release, Sense or RB
* 'A' – + 1 release, Sense or RB
* 'S' – + 1 release, Sense or RB

Is this cumulative? Meaning a C rank summon can, for example, known two releases and one racial breaker or one release and two racial breakers?

Under which category would poison fall? Some lizards are capable of generating a poison, but I am not sure under which category that would go. Grounders?

Being able to generate poison is a Racial Breaker, one that I would honestly consider universal, seeing as many different types of animals can generate poison, whether it be a flying, digging, or sea-based animal.

Further, can different creatures in a family have different kinds of breakers? Such as one with the ability to genearate poison and another with the ability to dig.

Yes, for each new rank attained, that Summoning can learn a new Racial Breaker, one being the ability to generate poison, the other being the ability to dig.

And what does the Grounders kind encompass?

A Grounder is something like, the "basic" type of creature, something that doesn't necessarily fit into the other three categories. A good example of grounders would be a bear, bull, leopard, monkey, etc.

Is this cumulative? Meaning a C rank summon can, for example, known two releases and one racial breaker or one release and two racial breakers?

Yes, they are cumulative, meaning the 'C' Rank Summon would be capable of having two basic releases and a Racial Breaker or one release and two Racial Breakers.

A question along the lines of this same topic:

Seniors: The captains of their class. They are leaders of their summoning family, pillars of their community that have acquired unique abilities throughout the ages that their brethren have yet to master. Sought out by mortal souls due to their power, they are envie by many and controlled by none. The user calls upon these only in the most dire of situations, and hopes their beasts will at least heed the call in their favor...These beasts also carry Chakra Pools depending on the rank (explained below), and much like a player, carry a particular Type. By default, the player may create only one Senior per rank. Further training can improve this, however.

Which rank is it referring to?

Next question: Say the creature you are thinking of using doesn't have hands. Would they be unable to do jutsu of any form without hands, or is there an alternative?

Another question: Do Racial Breakers count towards the total EXP count on techs? I'm assuming you assign the individual summons techniques adding up to the given table of EXP based on rank.

If they dont have hands and they are trying to preform ninjutsu then the same time that it would take to do the hand seals it would take them to cast the jutsu.

Once summoned, beasts are able to cast jutsu and perform techniques much like regular shinobi. This means that the same rules regarding casting time and seal speed apply, though it is generally accepted some summons can perform handseals, though that cannot instead “conjure” jutsu; times for handseal creation still apply.

Another question: Do Racial Breakers count towards the total EXP count on techs? I'm assuming you assign the individual summons techniques adding up to the given table of EXP based on rank.

Racial Breaker, an exclusive, energy-free technique available only to a certain family of summons as a result of their natural make-up.

Seniors: The captains of their class. They are leaders of their summoning family, pillars of their community that have acquired unique abilities throughout the ages that their brethren have yet to master. Sought out by mortal souls due to their power, they are envie by many and controlled by none.

By default, the player may create only one Senior per rank. Further training can improve this, however.

Im assuming that they are referring to the A ranked summons.

-___- Thank you for clearing this up for me. Napping made more sense of it, as well as what you posted. Gracias Bit.

[Katsumaru]

The Rank refers to D, C, B, A, and S, meaning you can only have a senior summons for each of those respective ranks.
