Sorry, but I had to retcon some of your actions with Nekkotama. I strongly respect you as a writer, and your rights to self expression, but your responses to some of Team Oto's attacks on Nekkotama devalued their respective skills. You've mistakenly placed her talent with barriers above their respective specializations... this is not quite in line with posting guidelines.

specialization > normal > weakness One specialization ~= to another specialization: when you attack or defend with your specialization, against another genin's specialization, the attack is still partially effective. Same thing with normal attacks vs. normal defenses, or weaknesses vs. weaknesses. There is no absolute defense, or absolute attack. The characters in these exams are equals, although they have specializations. It's how they leverage these skills in creative or clever ways that will make one overcome another, not a measure of power.

Additionally, you defended multiple attack actions with one defense action... this isn't quite right either. It's a one for one basis, wherein an attack (as a set of attacks initiated via an attack action) can be defended by a defense (seen as a set of defenses used as a set against that attack). There must be parity between the actions expended with respect to attacking and defending, or else some attacks will get through or some defenses will be superfluous.

This is a little complicated I guess. If I'm coming off as confusing about this, please let me know.

I tried to mitigate as many of the attacks against Nekkotama as I could, within the guidelines I set and the defenses available. I had to remove one attack, since you exceeded your action limit once i accounted for your defending from the more lethal attacks...

Once again, I apologize for having to do this. If I wasn't clear in the guidelines, or if you need a better explanation, I'll try to do my best explaining how discrete actions need to be.
