Skill Creator - SHINOBI WAY Jutsu Generator

This skill helps create new game skills (jutsu) for the SHINOBI WAY: THE INFINITE TOWER roguelike game.

When to Use

Activate when the user wants to:

  • Create a new jutsu or skill
  • Add a new ability or technique
  • Design a combat skill
  • Balance or modify existing skills

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Basic Info

Ask the user for:

  1. Skill Name - The jutsu name (e.g., "Fireball Jutsu", "Chidori")
  2. Skill ID - Lowercase with underscores (e.g., fireball, chidori_stream)
  3. Tier - BASIC, ADVANCED, HIDDEN, FORBIDDEN, or KINJUTSU
  4. Description - Flavor text explaining what the skill does

Tier Guidelines:

| Tier | Rank | INT Req | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | BASIC | E-D | 0-6 | Academy fundamentals, taijutsu, basic tools | | ADVANCED | C-B | 8-12 | Chunin-level techniques, elemental jutsu | | HIDDEN | B-A | 14-18 | Jonin/Clan secret techniques | | FORBIDDEN | A-S | 16-20 | Dangerous, high-risk techniques | | KINJUTSU | S+ | 20-24 | Ultimate forbidden arts |

Step 2: Determine Action Type

Ask the user which action type:

  • MAIN: Ends your turn - primary attacks and jutsu (default)
  • TOGGLE: Activate once (ends turn), pays upkeep cost per turn
  • SIDE: Free action BEFORE Main, max 2 per turn (setup/utility)
  • PASSIVE: Always active, no action required (permanent bonuses)

Action Type Rules:

| Type | Turn Cost | Limit | Use Case | |------|-----------|-------|----------| | MAIN | Ends turn | 1/turn | Attacks, damage jutsu | | TOGGLE | Ends turn to activate | Upkeep/turn | Sharingan, Gates, stances | | SIDE | Free | 2/turn | Buffs, shields, setup | | PASSIVE | None | Always on | Permanent stat bonuses |

Step 3: Determine Element & Damage Type

Element (for elemental interactions):

  • FIRE, WIND, LIGHTNING, EARTH, WATER (elemental cycle: Fire > Wind > Lightning > Earth > Water > Fire)
  • PHYSICAL (taijutsu)
  • MENTAL (genjutsu)

Damage Type (determines which defense applies):

  • PHYSICAL - mitigated by Strength
  • ELEMENTAL - mitigated by Spirit
  • MENTAL - mitigated by Calmness
  • TRUE - bypasses ALL defenses (FORBIDDEN/KINJUTSU only)

Damage Property:

  • NORMAL - subject to both flat and % defenses
  • PIERCING - ignores flat defense, only % applies
  • ARMOR_BREAK - ignores % defense, only flat applies

Attack Method:

  • MELEE - hit chance uses Speed vs Speed
  • RANGED - hit chance uses Accuracy vs Speed
  • AUTO - always hits (genjutsu, some DoTs)

Step 4: Set Costs & Cooldown

  • chakraCost: Chakra consumed (0 for taijutsu, 15-150 for jutsu)
  • hpCost: HP sacrificed (usually 0, used for forbidden/physical techniques)
  • cooldown: Turns before reuse (0-10, higher for powerful skills)
  • upkeepCost: For TOGGLE skills, CP or HP paid each turn while active

Step 5: Damage Scaling

  • damageMult: Base multiplier (1.5-10.0 range based on tier)

| Tier | Zero-Cost | Low (5-15) | Medium (20-40) | High (50+) | |------|-----------|------------|----------------|------------| | BASIC | 1.5-2.2x | 2.0-2.5x | 2.5-3.0x | N/A | | ADVANCED | N/A | 2.5-3.0x | 3.0-3.5x | 3.5-4.0x | | HIDDEN | N/A | 3.0-3.5x | 3.5-4.5x | 4.5-5.0x | | FORBIDDEN | N/A | N/A | 4.0-5.0x | 5.0-7.0x | | KINJUTSU | N/A | N/A | 5.0-6.0x | 6.0-10.0x |

  • scalingStat: Which stat scales damage
    • STRENGTH - taijutsu
    • SPIRIT - ninjutsu/elemental
    • SPEED - fast attacks
    • ACCURACY - ranged/precision
    • CALMNESS - genjutsu
    • INTELLIGENCE - complex jutsu

Step 6: Effects (Optional)

Add status effects on hit. See skill-interface.md for all effect types.

Common patterns:

  • DoT: BURN, BLEED, POISON with value (damage), duration, chance
  • CC: STUN, CONFUSION, SILENCE with duration, chance
  • Buff: BUFF with targetStat, value (multiplier), duration
  • Debuff: DEBUFF with targetStat, value (reduction), duration
  • Shield: SHIELD with value (HP absorbed), duration
  • Drain: CHAKRA_DRAIN with value

Step 7: Requirements (Optional)

  • intelligence: Minimum INT to learn (see tier guidelines)
  • clan: Restrict to specific clan (Clan.UCHIHA, etc.)

Step 8: Special Properties (Optional)

  • critBonus: Extra crit chance % (5-30)
  • penetration: % defense ignored (0-0.5)
  • isToggle: True for stance skills (auto-set if actionType is TOGGLE)
  • upkeepCost: Chakra/HP per turn while toggle active
  • sideActionLimit: Max uses per turn for SIDE skills (default 1)
  • passiveEffect: For PASSIVE skills, define stat bonuses

Step 9: Skill Image (Optional)

Ask if the user has a background image for the skill.

  • image: Path to the skill image relative to project root
  • Format: /assets/skill_[skill_id].png
  • Example: /assets/skill_fireball.png
