CLASS TRAITS
The Ninja Role: Striker. You jump and move about,
By: Hanzo187 (Matt Sylvain)
“I am a leaf in the wind, a wraith in the air. You
will not find me unless I wish to be found.”
Ninja Overview
Characteristics: Where the rogue relies on combat advantage
to deal damage, you rely on movement. Your ability to freely
move about the battlefield allows you to unleash the full
extent of your stealthy strike ability, in addition to the
mystical advantages granted by the use of your ki.
Religion: Ninja are not prone to religion, but those who
embrace a deity usually associate with gods of mysticism,
illusion, and sometimes death. Good and unaligned ninja
tend towards Sehanine or Ioun. Evil ninja worship Vecna.
Races: Elves make excellent rat ninja, their natural speed
meshing well with their excellent perception. Eldarin are
primarily scorpion ninja, with their disposition for
knowledge coming in handy for precision offense. Humans
make up the bulk of ninja, and function well in any form.
pecking away at your enemies as you go.
When you can move, you are at your
deadliest.
Power Source: Ki. Through extensive training
and meditation, you have become adept at
controlling and utilizing spiritual energy, be
it yours or your enemies’.
Key Abilities: Dexterity, Wisdom, Intelligence
Armor Proficiencies: Cloth, leather

The ninja are the warriors of mysticism and concealment.
Sneaky, cunning, and quick, those who see the ninja do not
live to tell the tale. Combining quick movement with
amazing stealth, the ninja are adept at appearing suddenly,
striking quickly, and fading away, into the night.
Because you are a ninja, many people have a crude and
sometimes narrow viewpoint of you. Many see you as an
evil, remorseless assassin who kills by stealth. Others see
you as a mystical thief who takes what he wishes when he
wishes. In truth, the ninja are experts in guerilla warfare,
sowing the seeds of confusion and deception to gain the
advantage against their enemies. Your skill in
unconventional combat requires you to be mobile, and your
mastery of ki complements this. The ability to move quickly
and strike suddenly are aspects of combat the ignorant could
never hope to understand, and you would have it no other
way.
Your body is strong, your mind is clear, and your soul is at
peace. Now, how will you use the power you are given? Will
you kill at your leisure, or perhaps serve a cause greater than
yourself?
Creating a Ninja
The rat ninja and scorpion ninja are your primary builds.
The rat ninja uses instinct to augment his senses and skitter
about the battlefield, while the scorpion ninja uses
knowledge of anatomy and precision attacks to sting his
enemies. Dexterity, Wisdom, and Intelligence are your most
important scores.
Rat Ninja
Instinct is your armor. Your skill at using your ki is better
than other ninja, but manipulating the energy of others is
more difficult. Dexterity is of the most use to you. Wisdom
should be your second-highest score, with the way of the rat
as your path. Powers that reward Wisdom are your targets,
but some of the Intelligence-based powers are helpful
options.
Suggested Feat: Quick Blade (Human Feat: Human
Perseverance)
Suggested Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Insight, Perception,
Stealth, Thievery
Suggested At-Will Powers: anticipatory strike, ki blade
Suggested Encounter Power: crescent blade
Suggested Daily Power: flare jutsu
Scorpion Ninja
You rely on your knowledge of anatomy, along with your
natural skill for ki, and attack with calculated precision,
striking chakra points to cause a variety of ailments. You
require a high Dexterity for mobility. Since knowledge is
your weapon, you need a high Intelligence score. Take the
way of the scorpion path. It is best to take powers that use
Intelligence, but it helps to take certain powers that use your
Wisdom score.
Suggested Feat: Reverse Grip (Human Feat: Action Surge)
Suggested Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Bluff, Stealth,
Steetwise, Thievery
Suggested At-Will Powers: speedy slash, suigetsu strike
Suggested Encounter Power: armpit strike
Suggested Daily Power: spirit slash
Ninja Class Features
All ninja share these class features.
Alchemical Mastery
You gain Alchemist as a bonus feat. You may add your
Intelligence modifier to attacks made when using poison
and volatile alchemical items.

Choose two of the following weapons. You gain the benefit
when wielding the chosen weapons and may not change

Short sword: Treat as a defensive weapon
Shuriken: Increase weapon damage die by one size

Ninjutsu Path
All ninja follow ninjutsu (the art of concealing). Some sting
their enemies with precise attacks, others may scurry about
and use instinct to avoid danger, and others still may inflict
pain through cold ferocity.
Choose one of the following options.
Way of the Scorpion: You may add your Intelligence
modifier to opportunity attack rolls.
Way of the Rat: As long as you are wearing cloth armor or
no armor, you may add your Wisdom modifier to AC.
Stealthy Strike
Once per round, when you move at least 2 squares from
your original position and are wielding a weapon from the
bow, crossbow, or light blade groups, you may deal extra
damage to that foe. You decide whether to apply this extra
after making the damage roll. As you advance in level, the
damage increases.
Level Stealthy Strike Damage
1st-10th +1d6
11th-20th +2d6
21st-30th +3d6
Ninja Powers
Your ability to manipulate ki has given you the skill to
unlock a variety of techniques. Some of these require
knowledge of anatomy to control your enemies' ki and
should be used with a high Intelligence score. Others still
call upon your own spirit and become more potent with a
high Wisdom score.

Epic Destiny
Enlightened Master
You have achieved a clarity and understanding of the world about
you as only a grandmaster such as yourself could ever attain. You
have learned to become one with the earth and soar to the heavens
at the same time.
Prerequisites: 21st level, training in Insight or Perception
You are a master of yourself, obtaining true understanding
and knowledge of the universe. You are now at one with
spirit, body, and mind, aware of the full extent of power you
gain from each of these aspects of life.
You are viewed as a being with incredible wisdom and
vision. Some see you as a creature with the ability to see into
others. Others view you as a demon who tries to unlock the
darkness within a person’s soul. Yet others revere as a god in
physical form. However, you are simply yourself, belonging
to no one and everyone at the same time. With your skill,
you can foresee an incoming doom for the world, and you
can fight it, train others to do so, or perhaps do nothing,
believing the future is an inevitable course of life and time.
The ninja are most commonly enlightened masters, but
clerics and paladins have shown an impressive capability for
become enlightened masters, despite their devotion to
patron gods.
Immortality, or awareness?
To you, becoming a legend or an immortal is not as
important as becoming greater than you are. While
immortality may have some to do with that, not all
enlightened master believe immortality leads to a
knowledge of all things.
The Knowledge of the Universe: When an enlightened
master completes his final task (a mission called a “vision
quest” by other enlightened masters), you finally attain a
complete understanding of the universe. You throw off the
limits placed on the mind, body, and soul to become
everything and nothing at the same time.
After you attain complete enlightenment, the possibilities
of what you can do are beyond the boundaries of thought
and even time. In an instant, you learn of incredible worlds,
streaming white shores, and endless infinity. One would call
this godhood. You would call it knowledge.
Enlightened Master Features
All Enlightened Masters have the following features:
Supernatural Focus (21st level): When you take an
extended rest, you do not lose unspent action points. You
also gain 1 action point when taking an extended rest.
Open Mind (24st level): Everything is clear to you. Three
times per day, as a minor action, you perceive invisible
creatures and objects as if they were visible until the end of
your next turn.
Perfect Clarity (30th level): For a moment, you senses
truly open up. Once per day, you may treat an attack roll as a
natural 20. This roll is treated as a critical hit as long as all
other prerequisites are met.
