[QUOTE="Kisanji Arael, post: 2722367, member: 20056"] Change cursed seal 1 to Chuunin rank, and cursed seal 2 to Juunin rank. Set it up like 2nd Edition druid: you have to go through the test before you can gain the level. Now that my brain is up for a bit more, here is my suggestion to make this class workable. Delete the skills and jutsus. All of them except for evasion and improved evasion. At first level, the character gains an aptitude. This could be, for example, Rock Li's ineptitude for all but taijutsu, but would be countered by the ability to learn taijutsu at half cost (this is how I'm justifying the fact that he is game breaking to myself). It could be Naruto's near incompetance (learns skills at 50% extra cost), balanced by a psion's Power point pool and Fast Healing 1 (not that I'm saying it's balanced without the mental trauma, mind you). It could be any number of power sets, or even a bloodline power (which gains access to hidden techniques associated with it). *minor spoilers* At each level, the character gains a certain number of "talent" points which he can put toward Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutsu (Oh, right.... where do you have that again? ;) ) They can be saved up between levels, and each skill has requirements and a learning DC. Any character learning skills not directly associated with his aptitude must succeed at a DC at each of the many stages of learning a skill every week. For Rasengan, pro exemplia, Naruto must first succeed at a DC (15) to learn the first stage, the water baloon. For the second stage, the save increases to 24. However, he is aided by the time he takes on it, and eventually seeing the cat rolling the ball gives him a bonus (DC -5 due to fundamental realization). At 19, it is easily within reach for him, given enough time. Finally, the third stage increases the DC to 35. He is unable to perform the technique on his own, but with a Kage Bunshin, he is able to use synnergy to learn the skill. However, until his own skill gets high enough to use it on his own, he is unable to cast the skill without Kage Bunshin or the aid of Kyuubi. It's also possible that Naruto has help on that technique due to his geneology. *cough cough*. Add Up the Walls. That's a good idea. Oh, and put in an equivalent for water walking at a later level. Also, while fast movement is definitely part of the package, I think that the emphasis is more on bursts of speed. [/QUOTE]
