Skill Specialties
- Unskilled
Unskilled is not an actual level of mastery. An unskilled specialty is a specialty that you do not have on your application, and have not put any points into. Upon reaching S rank, you may begin using Unskilled techniques from other specialties up to C rank. - Novice
Novice is the most basic one can get with a skill specialty. The lowest of the low. A Novice is often someone who is completely new to their specialty, thus their skill with it is equivalent to that of a Genin. - Adept
An Adept is someone with more skill in their area of combat then that of a Novice. They pick things up slightly faster then a Novice would, but are still fairly low in the level chain. An Adept is often where most Genin would find themselves around the time the Chuunin Exams come. - Expert
As usual, an Expert stands above it's predecessors in it's field of combat. Capable of picking up techniques much faster, and performing them swiftly. At this point, their skill in that area would be equivalent to that of a Chuunin. While Experts do stand above Adepts and Novices, and are fairly skilled, they are not quite Masters yet, and still have a lot of room to grow. - Artisan
An Artisan, similar to Expert, stands above it's predecessors in it's skill specialty. At this point their skill in that area would be similar to that of a Jounin. They are capable of picking techniques up at a much faster pace, and are very agile in combat compared to those below them. - Master
The highest point one can reach as far as skill specialty progression goes. A Master is capable of picking up new techniques within it's field with the swiftest speed, and is devastating in combat compared to the previous 4 levels. Masters are often those who find themselves in leader positions such as Kages. - Academy Student (E - D)

Skill Specialties are areas of combat, or utility your character specializes in. Having certain skill specialties allows you to use more advanced fighting styles, and Jutsu that are categorized within that specialty. This allows you to perform more advanced techniques the higher your mastery in that specialty is.
Now, there are 8 different main types of Skill Specialties, excluding the Weaponry sub specialties.
Levels of Mastery
Your level of mastery in a skill specialty basically shows how skilled you are in that area. The higher the level, the more skilled you are, the lower, the less skilled. Having a higher level specialty allows you to use more advanced techniques in that specialties field.
There are 5 different levels of mastery one can obtain over a skill specialty. When placing points, you begin at Novice.
So how does this work?
It's quite simple. You are given points when you either create your character, or you rank up. With those points, you can either upgrade an existing specialty you may already have, or get a new specialty, so long as you're within the limits for your rank. Whether or not you have available specialty points to use, you can find on your Shinobi ID. 1 Point = 1 Level.
The amount of points you start with depends on the rank you're applying for.
The Specialties
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu is a term referring to almost any technique which allows the user to do something that they otherwise would be incapable of doing. Unlike genjutsu, which makes the opponent see illusions, the effects of ninjutsu are real. They vary greatly in purpose, with the simpler ninjutsu serving such tasks as transforming the user or allowing them to evade attacks. These techniques are often second-nature for experienced shinobi, who can use them at will. More complex ninjutsu manipulate one's surroundings or utilize the elements, respectively serving such tasks as manipulating nature transformations.
Ninjutsu, most of the time, relies on chakra and hand seals to be effective. The hands are put in sequential positions that mold and manipulate chakra in the necessary manner to perform a technique. This is not always needed, however, and some techniques become second nature to experienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will.

Taijutsu
Taijutsu is a basic form of techniques and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimization of natural human abilities. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. It typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. Taijutsu generally require no hand seals to perform, occasionally making use of certain stances or poses, and are much quicker to use than ninjutsu or genjutsu. Taijutsu is simply put: hand-to-hand combat.
Additional Starting Ryo: 0
Genjutsu
Genjutsu are techniques that are employed in the same fashion as ninjutsu, requiring chakra and hand seals. However, the primary difference between the two is that the effects of genjutsu are illusory; instead of attacking the victim's body, like taijutsu or ninjutsu, genjutsu techniques manipulate the flow of chakra in the victim's brain, thus causing a disruption in their senses.
This is often used to create false images or to cause pain from trauma (because the body is led to believe it is in pain); however, there are plenty of other uses depending on the situation. Genjutsu can also be used for other supplementary purposes such as interrogating an individual by breaking their will.
Additional Starting Ryo: 0
Weaponry
Putting it short, Weaponry users focus on weapons. Having the Weaponry skill specialty allows you to have a small mastery over almost any weapon you pick up, but in a hybrid state. You have a small mastery in all, thus you are the master of no specific type of weapon. There are sub specialties under Weaponry which focus on specific types of weapons, but with a raw Weaponry specialty, if you fought against someone with a mastery in Kenjutsu with a sword, they would display far more skill with a sword then you would.
Weaponry users often rely on overwhelming their foe with barrages of different weapons at a time, often stored in basic sealing scrolls.
Additional Starting Ryo:
Weaponry Sub Specialties
Weaponry Sub Specialties are specialties where you devote yourself to one type of weapon. Unlike basic weaponry users, specializing in a Sub Specialty will allow you complete mastery over that type of weapon, even beyond that of someone who has basic Weaponry. Though because you focus on just 1 weapon, your skill with different types of weapons fails drastically compared to the variety a Weaponry user has.
A list of Weaponry Sub Specialties has been made below. They will link you to a new topic where all types of sub specialties for weaponry will be added over time, as people begin to show interest in having stuff such as Kyūdō, and other styles of weaponry.
Visit the topic for more details.
Puppetry
The Puppet Technique is a unique ninjutsu fighting style; this technique uses chakra threads to control puppets like marionettes. Any number of chakra threads can be used to control a puppet, but users with more skill can use fewer strings per puppet. The Puppet Technique is a long range style, meaning that most puppeteers are weak against close range fighters. Since most puppeteer use his or her hands to manipulate the puppets, if their hands are disabled, then the technique can be neutralized. And because the puppet's movements are based on the mechanisms that were installed inside, interfering with said mechanisms can stall the puppet entirely.
