I have a suggestion that could help to end an often brought up complaint about Narashi/Clanless being underpowered. I propose that Narashi/Clanless should qualify as specialists in the summoning rules. Jinch should not receive this benefit. Often Narashi clans are made to be summoners, and it could be reasonable for the lore that the clanless have more time to goof around with summoning studies or whatever (and why sages are always drawn from those without clan powers). To any counter argument I simply invite you to look at sages themselves. Any balance reason for narashi not to have it, you could apply to sages as well and the narashi character will still be weaker. The only thing I will cede is that I believe narashi are competitive as genin because clan abilities don't often shine til later, but I do think in the later end around SP. Jounin they tend to be outmatched overall. This would be a decent way to make going narashi something to consider beyond RP reasons (other than to hold out for hope that a jinch slot opens). An even better in my opinion would be if Narashi could choose to either be a summoning specialist, genjutsu defense specialist, or a weapon specialist. Summoners would go a rank higher on the chart. Genjutsu defense kais a rank higher. Weapons are treated a spec higher. IDK as much about the balance of this and know it would require more thought. Just something to account for that time that other characters spent learning about their clan ability that shines above a normal SA, basically. That's all I've got— Food for thought. Feel free to take it to the staff room if you think it has merit for further consideration, if not thanks for reading.
