Skill System

The Levels

Unless otherwise stated in the skills themselves, what you gain in each skill is measured by the skills level combined with your tier.

Untrained

You are totally and completely inept in this stat or skill if your strength is at this level you are lucky to lift anything heavier than a kunai, If any skill type is set to this you can't have any jutsu's in it... you know think Lee and Ninjutsu. And yes this means that if you are incompetant at ninjutsu, you can't use the academy techniques.

Beginner

The first level one can possess in a skill is Beginner, this is the lowest one can be and still able to perform a technique in it. If you are a beginner in a skill you can use jutsu's in that skill up to one ranks below your characters rank to a minimum of E-rank.

Adept

So you've got a bit of skill now, being around the mediocre range. Someone of this level is rising in skill but this would be the average skill for a jounin but an academy prodigy might also be found at this level. People of this category are able to use up to their rank in that area for example a B-rank (2-5) nin that is adept in Genjutsu can use up to B-rank Genjutsu

Expert

Becoming a truly skilled person in a skill will allow people to be named experts of the art but there is room for improvement, not yet a master but the person's skill is definitely not to be mocked. This will grant the ninja the ability to use jutsu up to one rank above theirs in the skill that they are experts in.

Master

Finally, that skill of which people can began to become true masters of an art. Effort, dedication or mere natural talent has paid off. Most Jounin have several kills which has reached this status, however while you are now considered a master in the art do not think for a second that it means you have finished the path.

Grandmaster

The final level, welcome to the most prestigious level you can obtain when it comes to a skill, your level has gone above and beyond and this is where people are legends, and able to use jutsus to far greater results than others.
