Generalist Type

[Kitai Yoru]

Type: Generalist

Description: Generalists are good at a lot of things, and are bad at other things! These people are generally the kind of people who, rather than train extensively for a particular thing, pick up lots of little tricks to help them by in life. They're not the best, but they're also not the worst. They aren't usually the kind of people who strive for the best, enjoying a happy medium instead.

Advantages: This type is unaffected by the drawbacks of having high HE.

Rank 1: Choose one Stat; Boost that stat by 25%.

Rank 2: Choose one Stat; Boost that stat by 50%. Boost another by 25%.

Rank 3: Choose one Stat; Boost that stat by 75%. Boost another by 50%. Choose one more; Increase it between 25%.

Rank 4: Choose one Stat; Boost that stat by 100%. Boost another by 75%. Choose one more; increase it between 50%. Increase a fourth one by 25%.

Disadvantages:

Rank 1: Cut any stat that isn't He or Es by 25%.

Rank 2: Cut any stat that isn't He or Es by 50%. Cut another that isn't He or Es 25%.

Rank 3: Cut any two stats by 50%. Cut another by 25%.

Rank 4: Cut any three stats by 50%. Cut another by 25%.


All Ranks: User must have 25 in each stat, per rank(100 at rank 4). Stats that have been boosted cannot be cut. Can only choose one stat between He and Es to cut.

Race Restrictions: Available to all Races.

Initial Weapons: Can start with two, though this is optional. A Shinigami of this Type can develop two different Shikai with different abilities that merge together in Bankai, while a Bount can start with two Dolls instead of one and end with a total of four Dolls. No new Release technique slots are gained, so techniques are spread thinner among more weapons. Bonus weapon is limited to Shinigami and Bount.

So my biggest concern with this type, is that aside from the HE boost... this type is almost completely analagous to Fighter version 2. The cuts and boosts are to identical stats.

For reference, here's Fighter V2 below.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Fighter v2}Advantage: Advantage to All Ranks: Each level of Release gains an additional technique. That means that a Shinigami would receive one additional technique for Shikai and one for Bankai. Arrancar get an additional technique for Primera Etapa and, if they have it, Segunda Etapa. Bounts gain an additional technique per Doll. Akki gain an additional technique for each level of Saisei Oni. Nakabakki gain an additional technique for each level of Saisei Oni, as well as the bonus to the Release granted by their non-Akki parent. Rogues, Hollows, Quincy, Mod Souls, Hason, Fullbringers, and Failures do not receive any additional abilities.

Rank 1: 35% increase to one Physical Stat and one Spiritual Stat (100 would be 135). It takes 50% more Spiritual Pressure than normal for a Fighter to suffer cutback (instead of 150 Spiritual Pressure disadvantage causing cutback, it would require a 225 Spiritual Pressure difference).

Rank 2: 50% increase to one Physical Stat and one Spiritual Stat (100 would be 150). It takes 50% more Spiritual Pressure than normal for a Fighter to suffer cutback (instead of 150 Spiritual Pressure disadvantage causing cutback, it would require a 225 Spiritual Pressure difference).

Rank 3: 75% increase to one Physical Stat and one Spiritual Stat (100 would be 175). It takes double the Spiritual Pressure than normal for a Fighter to suffer cutback (instead of 150 Spiritual Pressure disadvantage causing cutback, it would require a 300 Spiritual Pressure difference).

Rank 4: Double one Physical Stat and one Spiritual Stat (100 would be 200). It takes triple the Spiritual Pressure than normal for a Fighter to suffer cutback (instead of 150 Spiritual Pressure disadvantage causing cutback, it would require a 450 Spiritual Pressure difference).


Disadvantage: 25% decrease to the Physical and Spiritual Stats that were not increased (if Strength and Reiatsu Strength were increased, then Speed and Spiritual Pressure will be decreased. 100 would be 75). Reiatsu-based abilities are lost: Kidō, Cero, Bala, etc. Fullbringers can use their racial basic Soul Command, but no techniques that expand upon it. Fighters are unable to make non-martial or non-weapon techniques. Characters with this Type are limited to a 0 in Healing Expertise and a 50 in Energy Sensory.

Race Restrictions: Available to all Races except Beast-Clansmen

Now, I'll grant that there are certainly some differences-- the Fighter v2 boosts both stats equally, and doesn't cut the stats quite as harshly. Additionally, this type lacks a few minor pros and cons, but on the whole, when it comes to the stats themselves, they're extremely similar.


I'm inclined to argue against this type, because between Fighter v2, Soldier, Soldier v2, Roughneck and Freak, someone should be able to make a character archetype that would fill any niche that this type would fill.

Alright, I made changes. I made it so that every stat can be put anywhere they'd like, same with the cuts.

The Generalist definitely seems like the kind to acquire two weapons, just as an aside. Other than that, it's actually a pretty different type now from anything else we have. Leader is the only other kind that boosts just anything, as far as I can remember, and the boosts/drawbacks are comparable to Leader. The Description is fairly simple, though I think that works for this one.

I'm actually pretty on board with this type.

Sweet deal! Just added the two weapons description from Brave.
