I think you have heard then use hand xbows.

He obviously hasn't seen the movie, The Last Samurai....

Lightning Reflexes - Chance to attack on a successful dodge

What about an ability like hamedo from final fantasy tactics? First strike, or something?

On second thought though, are ninjas really counter attackers? We've already got barbarians and swashbucklers that fight that way. And wouldn't it just be a carbon copy of riposte, only on dodges?

On third thought, that gives me an idea.

This isn't a bad idea at all. I'd add Endurance to the skill list. Anyone who's seen a ninja flick has seen them sprint full out across half the rooftops of Tokyo.

Endurance was already on the list.

I'm a little curious as to how Hood would work. Would it, at increasing levels of mastery, block more and more of the ninja's appearance? Such as, at fair it would act like a disguise that automatically applies the adjective "hooded", then at good it blocks gender, then at superb or mastered it shows only "A person is standing here?" And when you say that a ninja would always be hooded, does that mean that this skill can never be turned off?

Ninja burger!

yes, ninjas should get use of hand crossbows. And blow guns. and shoot spring-loaded knives from hollow tubes. And know pressure point taijutsu.

maybe it's because i'm tired as [REDACTED], but this all sounds very, very sexy.

I've added new abilities and edited the post and put in the most overpowered abilities I could think of for this awesome class.

They're awesome abilities, trust me.

I think I would squeal at the prospect of two ninjas fighting with the skillset they have.

three_sixteen, I've added an ability that I think will make the class totally capable of flipping out and tearing the [REDACTED] out of entire cities. I think the ability to do that will be entirely dependant on the player though.

Would you believe that thesaurus.com doesn't have an entry for teleport?

I would call jaunt something like Shadow walk. Similar to the shadow spells from DND where you can cover vast distances by entering the shadow realm and then exiting where you want.

So a summary:

-Call it Shadow Walk.
-Like Gate/teleport (Gate targets/self use)
-Like the DND spell must be in shadows to use.

I think ninjas should also have something like Throat Cut. That could be their opening attack. Must be in shadows to use it.

I think it should work LIKE teleport, but you would need multiple jaunts to reach a person. Say, person A is in taslamar, you're in Empire. Jaunt one would cover twenty five leagues or so west, and you'd probably need two jaunts to reach Teron - another one to reach Exile.
