In-Character Training

[Rambles]

It's pretty common to see characters mentoring each other in order to help learn a new technique or develop their skills - as such, we have a system in place to allow characters to benefit from such roleplay. Characters are permitted to participate training threads with other player characters for such a purpose. In these threads, characters are able to "learn" a technique from someone who is able to perform the technique in question. While characters can "perform" this technique in the thread, it cannot be used in any other thread until it is formally purchased with experience. Techniques taught this way receive a discount based on two factors; the rank of the teaching character, and the rank of the learning character.

Strictly speaking, the higher the rank of the character teaching the technique, the greater the discount on that technique's experience cost. Thus a kage would provide the largest discount, whereas an academy student wouldn't really be able to teach anything and thus would impart no discount to other shinobi.

There is one exception to this method of learning techniques:

[/font][li]This discount is not applicable when learning Kinjutsu via in-character means. Character must spend the normal experience amount in order to learn these techniques. [/li][/ul]
The chart below shows the discount provided by the teaching character's rank

Academy Student	5%
Genin	10%
Chūnin	15%
Jōnin	20%
Kage	30%
