Based on age and back story I figure I allow a character a certain amount of skills and varying levels of proficiency. I'll use my own character for an example.

Tasa is about 45 years old. She's been swinging an axe for about 30 of them and has killed a lot of people and survived a lot of shit to get where she is. So.. She gets a lot of points, but only for combat stuff. To make it simple, let's say she has 30 points. 1 for each year she was active. It takes 10 points to be a master of something soo..

10 into axing stuff, 10 into being strong, and 10 in the 'I can take a hit and keep going' thing. This also plays into her being a warrior IC and having this inner beast that further compliments the kind of character I want to create. She's a hulking berserker that can pretty much level an army with an axe... And little else. She knows jack about fist fighting, can't shoot a bow worth a damn, and is useless for magic.

Onto the topic at hand. I view these kinds of things as "Unfair points" that get added to a character. You not only have your original abilities, but you also have this Deus ex Machina feeling ability that could be seen as a 'I don't feel like losing' thing. I appreciate you're using it mostly for PvE, but if you tried to pull this on me in an IC fight I'd probably have a few questions for you.

Also.. This is just a personal note, but why tails? It just... I dunno, I guess Naruto has really soured the whole tail thing but I just see it as one of those anime tropes that kinda just feels forced. If they were these hard, deadly claws or blades along his body, it'd seem more fitting.. But tails?

Ultimately, it is your choice to add what you want to your character and, trust me, we all add silly things from time to time that make us happy. That's the real point, enjoy yourself. I'm someone who enjoys realistic, easy to balance characters because I like a good text fight once in awhile. If you enjoy something more epic and anime and memorable, good on ya~! It's just not really my thing.

Ew Naruto? Lol no. This,

One thing to make claws badass, whole nother thing to make a tail badass.

So, another noob question.
