I'll post the skills (after adding herbology). Do you think there should be an anatomy skill, for knowing where to hit, for senbon/crit. hits?
Gimme the rest of the weapons ASAP, plz.
I'll post non combat items. We can always add more later. And how about in-combat items, are those OK?

The current weapon list.
-Katana - standard Japanese long sword (4.~5 feet long), with a stylistic curve at the end and slightly through the blade. Only one side is sharp, but a blow from either side can fell an enemy if wielded correctly. Proper usage is two handed. To use a Katana effectively, one needs the 'Expert Sword Handling' skill. If the user has the 'Large Weapons' skill, they may wield a Katana with one hand as a normal person would two handed. However even then they cannot use two at a time. With 'Stealth Combat' the user may wield a Katana (with both hands) with the grace of a smaller blade. Katanas are too heavy to be flung.
-Tanto - small hunting knife. Long, thin blade with a square handguard. Sturdy, despite its appearance. One handed. No required skill. 'Expert Sword Handling' allows you to use a tanto in one hand and a one handed sword in the other (should you have 'Large Weapons, for instance, you could use a tanto and a katana). 'Stealth Combat' allows you to use a tanto as if it were a needle.
-Aikuchi – Identical to the tanto, save that it lacks a handguard.
-Kodachi - Mid-sized sword, about 2.5 feet long. One handed, but may be used in two hands for added power. Requires the 'Expert Sword Handling' skill. With the 'Large Weapons' skill you may use two Kodachis at once.
-Wakazashi – A sword similar to the katana in make, but smaller in length. Bigger than a Kodachi, it’s moderate in speed an strength. A character must posses ‘Expert Sword Handling’ to wield it.
-Senbon - 'needle'. A projectile that is often used alongside others of its kind to form a 'claw' of sorts. The hand is balled up into a fist and needles are placed between digits. May be used in either hand, or both hands at once. May be used alongside a Katana whether the user has the 'Large Weapons' skill or not. Requires 'Sealth Combat'. 'Throwing Mastery' allows all needles in a hand to be flung at once, creating a storm of metal.
-Odachi – The much bigger brother of the Katana, This sort of sword ranges up from six feet of cold, sharp steel. Faster but not as strong as the cleaver, it requires the skills “Expert Sword Handling†and ‘Large Weapons’ to wield.
-Cleaver - A seven foot long, one foot wide straight blade with a foot long wooden handle that is wrapped in leather or cloth. Two handed. Requires the skills 'Expert Sword Handling' and 'Large Weapons' to use at all.
-Stave – a basic pole of metal or wood decorated as the wielder pleases or sees as useful, these weapons are wielded in two hands and are good for a strong defense, though their lack of blades or heavy ends limit damage output. They require the ‘Large Weapons’ and ‘Stave Mastery’ skills to use.
- Spear – a staff with a small blade on the end, this weapon foucuses attacking on thrusts instead of blunt strikes. While it’s offensive capabilities may be better than the stave, the new focus on a specific strike to attack detracts somewhat from its defensive appeal. Requires the ‘Large Weapons’ and ‘Stave Mastery’ skills to use. - Naginata – a staff with a larger, curved blade on the end, this weapon has the capability for slash and thrust attacks, but is less effective in the defense department than the other staff weapons. Requires the ‘Large Weapons’ and ‘Stave Mastery’ skills to use.
- Chain – a series of linked rings of steel, chains are used as weapons to beat opponents and entangle their weapons, and, if the links include small blades, for ripping apart enemies. However, they are unwieldy and difficult to use. Require the ‘Linked Weapon’ skill to use.
- Kusari-gama – a length of chain with a weight on one end and a sickle on the other, it’s combat uses are innumerable, ranging from stabbing to bludgeoning to entangling. However, it too is unwieldy, and heavy as well. Requires the ‘Linked Weapons’ and ‘Heavy Weapons’ skills to use.
- Sickle – a cruel looking weapon with a curved blade attached nearly perpendicularly to a small handle, this weapon requires but one hand, but its design, meant for harvesting grain, limits its combat potential.
- Scythe – A larger sickle with a handle almost as big as the wielder and a blade only slightly smaller, this blade is heavy and powerful, and can be a deadly tool in the right hands. Requires the ‘Large Weapons’ skill to wield.
Of course, we will have to make options to customize.

What the hell was up with that? Did you mess up the coding? Any edits I make to the post above yours edit your post, as well.
On another note, how are we going to go about profanity filters? Abandon them, or are they pre-set?
And would you mind changing my title to something a little less pretentious?
Oh, and shall we make use of the calendar feature to set up IM roleplay times or whatnot?
We need an edit time limit, as well, if it is possible.

I can try to code edit times, but that's not built in. I haven't deleted profanity filter yet but I will. Remember, limited time and very very new site. About you editing posts above, bug? My coding shouldn't affect that. You double posted. Anyhow, gimme a title suggestion and it's yours.

Title suggestion? What do you mean?
Oh, wait, never mind.
I dunno... member?
Santa Spawn?
Maybe each person joining should be given a choice.
And new subject, new post, biatch!
You mean sixth period, right?
Can I have stars?
And How do I get the Santa Avatar in?

'you dunno', eh? I was thinking about doing a different system for the country's secrets.
Hear up:
-instead of password protected forums, we use invisible forums -when people sign up for a side, their user group is altered to be something along the lines of 'Servant of *animal*' where *animal* is the ruler of their kingdom. (Hou-ou, Tora, Kame-dono, Ryu) -then we create a general RP board, with seperate threads for different areas. -the country-specific boards would be for information, orders, tactics, strategizing, etc.
Tell me what you think. It would not be harder that password forums, and also this way people can't tell eachother how to get into the countries' forums.
As for avatars, first, go to imageshack and upload it, then go to your profile and paste the URL in the appropriate field.
Yes, I meant sixth period. Maybe it's seventh for you. BHS has 6 periods and I have 6th in the lab. Sorry I wasn't on today, was at an assembly.
As for having stars, you get stars with posts, methinks. Unless you want to actually be a mod/gmod/admin.

That may work, but the titles might appear a bit corny.
Furthermore, we'd need to actually allow RPing within the country specific boards. Menial tasks could be public, but plot cenric tasks would need to remain hidden.

Yes, we'd allow RPing in there. But when people leave their countries that should go in some 'no man's land' forum. And permission seems to make a lot more sense to me than passwords.

Ok James. I posted all the documentation. I think it's ready to be opened up once we come to a decision regarding the country-specific forums.
