Elite Evasiveness: Taijutsu or- MEDICAL!?

Posts : 1729

Name: Elite Evasiveness
Rank: A
Type: Physical
Physical Requirements: Must specialize in Taijutsu or Medical.
Training Requirements: A 1600 word training post is required to gain this special characteristic.
Description: With further training and a now natural instinct to keep oneself alive under all circumstances the user now gains this characteristic. The ninja now has perfect evasive talents which allows them to perform a limitless array of stunts and maneuvers to escape physical attacks. Their movements become so fluid and precise that they can even dodge dozens of weapons from all angles by performing quick maneuvers that can range from somersaults, black flips, and other forms of physical motions. Essentially only unavoidable forms of attacks can hit a evasive expert in their prime.

Explain to me why that reads medical instead of, ya know, weapons.

Because whoever translated it over from the cannon probably had no clue what they were doing, assumed that Sakura was the rule (instead of a very rare and very much rules-breaking exception), and wanted to give a specialty that already has quite a few perks access to an SC that just begs to be abused.

Frankly I think it's one of those things that is long overdue for an overhaul. Any medic is going to be as far from the actual fighting as possible - both for their own safety and that of their patients. Plus you can't really do any involved procedure when you're having to stay ready to dodge an incoming attack.

This is one of the many things to be updated alongside the rest of the Special Characteristics. For now, I can simply change it to say "Tai, Weap & Med" if that's the concern, so people may apply for the SC instead of waiting God knows how long for the SC update.

EDIT: Updated the SC list to include Weaponry as a prerequisite. This topic is essentially solved.

Solved.

It was done in the mind set that the rules of being a Medical Ninja state that they must be the last one to die because if somebody else is still alive they need to be there heal them, with the very perks Medical had it was a reasonable thing to give them seeing as they aren't offensive fighters and need to have a good defence and assumingly would work on being as evasive as possible.
