Gathering Chakra

[:[Admin]:]

Chakra Collection

A character can only gather and collect as much 6 chakra points for a technique within a six second round. This allows for them to gather as much as 1 point within a second at normal (as rounds typically consist of 6 seconds). The maximum amount of points they can draw in within a round is increased by an additional point for each rank the character has beyond Genin, and an additional 2 points can be collected each round if the character has the 'Quicken Technique' feat. If the character has taken 'Improved Quicken Technique', they may prepare an additional 2 points of chakra each round.

A Jounin with 'Improved Quicken Technique' will draw in chakra twice as fast as a starting Genin who does not have the 'Quicken Technique' feat.

The purpose behind this mechanic is to support the use of lesser powered techniques and to add a minimum preparation time to a technique which uses a high level of chakra. Chakra can be gathered and prepared for a technique while the user is forming hand seals.
