Buffing and Debuffing Rules

Buff Limit by Rank
The amount you can buff, from a jutsu, depends on the rank of the technique used to buff.
:: E Rank: +0 to stats
:: D Rank: +1 to stats
:: C Rank: +2 to stats
:: B Rank: +3 to stats
:: A Rank: +4 to stats
:: S Rank: +5 to stats
The user is capable of splitting the stat buffs between any number of stats. This only works with whole numbers -- no decimals/imaginary numbers can be used. Such as: May not have a B Rank Buff that gives +1.5 to two stats.

Buff Maximum
The maximum that a person can buff their stats is +5 to a single stat. This only applies to Generic Buffs. The absolute maximum that a stat can be buff is 21. Any buffs beyond 21 in a stat will be used as "Surplus" with the remaining being used to replace stat debuffs.

Special Buffs
Special Buffs are only obtained in 2 possible ways:
:: Kinjutsu: Kinjutsu may grant Special Buffs
:: Special Buff Technique: The user may create a non-kinjutsu able to grant Special Buffs. This Special Buffs technique may only grant a maximum of +2 Special Buffs. The user may only have 1 Special Buff active at any time. The user may not have a Special Buff Technique active the same time they have a Kinjutsu that grants Special Buffs

A Special Buff may be stacked on top of Generic Buffs, capable of exceeding the +5 granted by Generic Buffs. This is still affected by the 21 stat raise maximum. The max that a Special Buff can boost is +4 in a single stat.  

Debuff Limit by Rank
Similar to buffing by rank, from a jutsu, a target's stats may be debuffed depending on the rank of the technique used.
:: E Rank: -0 to stats
:: D Rank: -1 to stats
:: C Rank: -2 to stats
:: B Rank: -3 to stats
:: A Rank: -4 to stats
:: S Rank: -5 to stats
The user is capable of splitting the stat debuffs between any number of stats. This only works with whole numbers -- no decimals/imaginary numbers can be used. Such as: May not have a B Rank Debuff that gives -1.5 to two stats.

Debuff Maximum
The maximum that a person can debuff an opponent's stats is -5 to a single stat. The absolute maximum that a stat can be debuffed is 1. Any debuffs beyond 1 in a stat will be used as "Surplus" with the remaining being used to replace stat buffs.
