Naruto Meets MURPG

[venkelos]

Some folks might remember an eon ago, when I posted stats for the Naruto character, Sasuke Uchiha murpg.proboards19.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=conversions&thread=4698&page=1#84408. Well, after watching more, reading more, and playing some of the newest game I got (Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 for the Wii), I decided to build some rough drafts of other characters. Unlike Sasuke, they aren't overpriced cheese, though they are still pretty powerful, at least for their costs. Here we go.

"So, here we have Neji, a genius warrior who can do considerable damage to his enemies. Not only does he hurt you, but he also deprives you of your energy. He can see most attack before they happen, from all sides, and counter them. Not t be taken lightly."

Hinata Hyuga (47W)

"Here is Hinata. She is not as powerful as Neji, overall, but she is still a dangerous opponent. Like Neji, she can freely negate many incoming attacks, and do considerable damage to her foes, as well as deprive them of energy. Her variant force field is actually stronger, and she will use it to actively attack."

Rock Lee (58W 1R)

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 105 lbs
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
Species: Human

ABILITIES
Intelligence 2

Social Skills: 3
+ Shinobi Culture

MODIFIERS
Reflexive Dodge (+2)
Toughness (+1)

CHALLENGE - Compulsion to Show His Skill (-2)
CHALLENGE - Cannot use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu (-2)

"Lee is supposed t be a pure combat character, as he is good at little else. With his powerful strikes, he can shatter stone, or people, and when he opens a few Chakra Gates, and uses his Lotus moves (thiss means he is overstraining his Iron Will, which will drop his Health to toast), he can be quite amazing. To quote Rocky IV, whatever he hits, he destroys.

Okay, that's it, for now. If anyone has any thoughts, or suggestions, please feel free to share them? Thanks for reading. And see, this time, no bad text color choices. ;D

Im surprised to see Hinata being only 2rs cheaper then Neji... this system is SO not meant to be used for Naruto @_@

And why does Rock Lee have Inteligence bonus for his Close Combat? That defies both the system and his whole character, not to mention that 5 is a puny number for someone who is considered one of THE BEST taijutsu users in whole world. You do realize that in case of Taijutsu that makes him WORSE then Neji? (Lee produces only 7 stones while Neji gets 9, Byakugan and Iron Will aside).

Also... none of them has Ninja What a wacky world that is. But still, I like your version- makes them easier to fit into regular Marvel universes. And thank god you didnt make Naruto and Sasuke... again. Everyone keeps doing their stats like they were the most awesome thing happened- which they arent.
Speaking of greatest characters- can you do Shikamaru or Kiba?

Okay, where to begin? Well, first, no Ninja. Ninja is an overpriced action that doesn't really get me anything I need for these characters. They don't much use weapons, their energy pools are sort of small, and it was cheaper to get Close Combat and BO/Spying separately; the pieces of it I cared for the most. Also, folks like Lee are NOT as good at sneaking as they are at bludgeoning folks, so having a huge number in Ninja would make him sneaktastic, which he isn't.

Lee only does more damage when overstraining/using Gates + Lotus. Otherwise, Neji's precise strikes at chakra points is much more debilitating.

5 was picked because of the cheesy book. Thor, a GOD of combat is only 7. Many of the most amazing warriors in Marvel, as well as a few lamew ducks the book made more BA than they really are, cut their losses at 7, too. As cool as Neji or Lee are, they are no Thor, and have plenty of room to improve their martial arts skills, seeing as they will someday be Chunin and Jonin.

Under most cases, I don't use Intelligence as the Modifier for combat; it smacks of Sorcerers, and they are the only folks I klike using it. As for this oops, Lee was a copy/paste of Neji, and apparently, I can't proofread for crap.

I could do Shikamaru or Kiba, I suppose. Neither is really high on my favs list, but they are fun, and not painfully complicated (that would be Shino). Kiba is a bit iffy because Servant isn't a thing they've really done. I suppose, like Shadowcat's writeup with Lockheed, I'd have to deduct Akamaru's point cost from Kiba's stone cost; he's really not much without his puppy. Shikamaru isn't too hard. I'll see if the muse descends, and I can capture, and squeeze a few ideas out of her, before she escapes again, into the wild. Thank you for your interest.

Dont mention it. And I admit- making Kiba can be either absurdly easy (easy way- Multiple man with only 1 clone attached to his dog) or hard way (buying a familiar with ability to transform).

I just started reading Naruto... I may have to work on something here...

but Ninjitsu definitely works for these characters, funny enough, in place of Taijutsu. And they all should probably have illusion for the Genjutsu arts. Then super power actions are the "Ninjitsu" in terms of the show.

Most of the numbers should be low at first, methinks. The Sharingan is Copy/Action/Ability Modifier... I'm sure something equally simple could be created to represent the Ninetailed Fox... if not actually building the thing and giving Naruto power dangerous to self.
