Skill Modifiers (Skill Mods) are modifications a character can add to a
skill that will allow the skill to do more than just basic damage. Skill
Mods work by rank, so that the modifications applied for (number eight on
+news skillapplication) are congruent with, or below, the rank of the
Jutsu. That means: you cannot apply for a C-rank Jutsu with B-rank Skill
Mods, etc.; but you may apply for a C-rank Jutsu with C-rank and D-rank
Skill Mods, etc. (Note: there are NO benefits in applying for a Skill
without modifications.)

D-Rank

+news skillmods-d	At D-rank, a Jutsu may take one Skill Mod.
Mod Name	Description
Area of Effect (AoE)	Can target multiple opponents. At D-rank, only non-healing Ninjutsu may take this mod. Increases Stamina cost by 3x.
Attack Stun	Stuns the opponent. At D-rank, does no damage. See +news cmstuns for more information.
Chakra Drain	Subtracts Chakra from an opponent. Scales with rank.
Chakra Heal	At D-rank, Chakra Heal cannot also restore Health. This mod allows a Heal skill to restore Chakra. The amount of Chakra restored scales with the rank of the Heal.
Counter	Defends against an attack by countering it. Does damage. At D-rank, only Ninjutsu and Taijutsu may take this mod.
Damage Resistance	Reduces damage taken. Scales with rank.
Poison	Damage over time. Starts at two combat rounds for D-rank, each rank higher adding an additional combat round. Puppeteers may apply for Poison mod at E-rank.
Powerful	Sacrifices accuracy for damage.
Stamina Drain	Subtracts Stamina from an opponent. Scales with rank.
Stamina Heal	At D-rank, Stamina Heals cannot also restore Health. This mod allows a Heal skill to restore Stamina. The amount of Stamina restored scales with the rank of the Heal. Stamina Heals can only be used on other people, not on the person using the Heal. It is ILLEGAL to use a Stamina Heal on yourself.
Tricky	Sacrifices damage for accuracy.
Versatile Defense	Defends against MOST Damage Types that are reasonable for the applied-for Defense. This Skill Mod is required to have more than seven Damage Types on a Defense.

C-Rank

+news skillmods-c	At C-rank, a Jutsu may take two Skill Mods.
Mod Name	Description
Area of Effect	Can target multiple opponents. At C-rank, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu may take this mod. For Taijutsu, AoE increases Stamina cost 3x; Genjutsu and Ninjutsu AoE increases Stamina cost 4x.
Attack Stun	At C-rank and higher, Jutsu with Attack Stun do damage equal to one rank lower than the applied-for skill rank. See +news cmstuns for more information.
Augmented	Chargeable Heal. Adds to damage roll of Heal, allowing for more healing done. See Chargeable rules below.
Chargeable	Adds to hit roll AND damage roll. Requires TWO rounds of not attacking (and using the necessary +useskill) before the technique can be executed. If successfully attacked during the charge (though you may defend), the Jutsu is cancelled. If Chargeable is added as a Skill Mod, it will ALWAYS be in effect (meaning: you cannot use the Jutsu as if it did not require the charging rounds).
Chakra Heal	At C-Rank, Chakra Heal can also restore Health. You cannot combine this mod with Stamina Heal at this rank.
Damage Resistance x2	Increased reduction of damage taken. May not be combined with Versatile Defense. Counts as TWO Skill Mods. Scales with rank.
Elemental Taijutsu	Allows Taijutsu Attacks to be imbued with an element for improved damage. User must have the applicable elemental manipulation and the applicable Elemental Taijutsu Style on their +sheet.
Emergency Defense	Rolls as if a rank higher, with an increased cost of the primary resource for that skill. User cannot attack during the round this Defense is used.
Potent Genjutsu	Increased Stamina Drain for Genjutsu Attacks. Scales with rank. Requires Stamina Drain to also be listed as a mod for the skill. Works like the Powerful Skill Mod: sacrifices accuracy for damage.
Round Stun	If successful, stuns for one full round. Does no damage. See +news cmstuns for more information.
Stamina Heal	At C-Rank, Stamina Heal can also restore Health. The person using the Heal still is not allowed to use a Stamina Heal on himself or herself at any rank. Cannot be combined with Chakra Heal at C-Rank.

B-Rank

+news skillmods-b	At B-rank, a Jutsu may take three Skill Mods.
Mod Name	Description
Area of Effect	Same rules as C-rank AoE, except Heals may now take the AoE Skill Mod.
Charka Heal	Can now be combined with Stamina Heal AND Health Heal. If combined with Stamina Heal, the Heal can NOT be used on yourself.
Chakra Leech	Steals Chakra and absorbs it. Scales with rank. (Note: Chakra Leech always requires Chakra Absorption Technique.)
Chargeable	Bonus hit roll AND damage roll. Same use rules as applied at C-rank.
High Poison	Requires a Style that supports High Poison; requires the High Poison Skill; requires the Attack to also have the Poison Skill Mod. Does damage over time.
Inexpensive Defense	Rolls at D-rank level, but costs less than a D-rank Defense.
Multiple Attack Stun	At B-rank, two Attacks may be attempted before stun wears off. Does no damage. Cannot Drain. See +news cmstuns for more information.
Piercing	Uses two Skill Mod slots. Allows Attacks to bypass any Damage Reduction Skill Mods on a Defense.
Round Stun	If successful, stuns for one full round. At B-rank, Round Stuns do C-rank damage. The same +escape rules apply. See +news cmstuns for more information.
Stamina Heal	Can now be combined with Chakra Heal AND Health Heal.
Terrain Altering	Capable of significantly altering the IC terrain. Only an RP effect. RP accordingly.

S-Rank

+news skillmods-s	At S-rank, a Jutsu may take as many Skill Mods as needed (within reason). The restrictions of combining Skill Mods still apply.
