-------Player characters may use up to 3 actions, all clones of a single character share a 1 action limit, and all summons share a 2 action limit. If the player character does not use an action, then it can be transferred to summons or clones. Special rules such as the Edo and Biju summoning rules trump the action limit rule when applicable (for example, a biju summoner can only do 1 action according to the Biju Rules, and the biju can only do 2 actions).
--------- Because of the great length of time it may take for a RP of large amounts of people to get done, there can be no more than 4 participants (excluding judge and BGM) in an IC biju match at this time; a Hunted, a Hunter, and 2 Support for either side. This may seem very small, but arrangements should be made in the beginning to keep the player count small. Players are forbidden from having IC matches with themselves for any reason, and players that are discovered doing this will be permanently banned from all things biju indefinitely, their beast stripped and delivered to the Council.
- If, in the course of RP that is not a Biju Hunt, that those who would fall under the category of Hunted are engaged by those wishing to attain the tailed beast, then these restrictions do not apply unless the RPers wish to abide by these restrictions. That means that the hunted may flee at any point, hunters do not have to OOCly announce their intentions to any party, there are no activity requirements for the RP (beyond other obligations, such as the overall biju activity rule), etc.
@ Action PointsThis is my opinion; Player gets 3 action points. Any kind of summons (Bijuu, Mount, Edo Zombie, Paths etc) get and share 1 action point regardless of their numbers. Any kind of bunshin (Clones, Shadow Clones, Fission etc) get and share 1 action point regardless of their numbers. Having 2 different types of summons does not give each of them 1 AP, but a summon and a clone do get 1 AP each. The player cannot transfer unused AP to their summons or clones, but if they wish to use said summon/clone as their main fighter, they may swap AP with it. So instead of 3 AP, the player now only as 1 (mainly for avoiding attacks), and their summon/clone will have 3 AP. This effect will last until the the summon/clone leaves the battlefield or is defeated.
@ Support CharacterWhat is the purpose of the support character exactly? Are they meant to join the battle? Are they there as a backup to take possession of the Bijuu just in case the hunter/hunted dies? In short, can you define or explain the roles of the Support characters to me? Thank you.
@ Non Bijuu HuntFor the IC Rules to have any purpose, I think players should not be allowed to take a Jinchuuriki/summoner's Bijuu IC unless it's a Bijuu hunt.
