Hrm... seems to me, you'd probably actually do better by just playing a Ninja 17. The high end abilities are amazing and self synergising. Pick up some stuff like Improved Diversion (it saves on your Ki power/day in minor fights). A few other things expertise, and improved Fient would be good. If you really want to use a PrC look at Invisible Blade (from complete warrior). Also if you want to use ranged attacks stuff like Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Many Shot, and Greater Many Shot would be awesome (apply percision damage to every attacking using Greater Many Shot).

The way GMS+Sudden Strike+Hide in Plain Sight+Ki Dodge synergises is quite nice. You get concealment as a swift action (20%, 50% at 18th), as a move action you create a diversion with a bluff check, and hide with a hide check. As a standard action you fire a volley of percision damage loaded arrows against flat footed targets. Retaliating is difficult as you have cover. If you can work in a single build to also incorperate Woodland Sniper, you can hide again and move at the end of all that, but it's a tricky tactical feat.

Lots of ideas for high end ninjas.

alrighty... Hrm. Going from that, Poison POISON POISON.

You'll also make really good use of the Dual Strike feat since you're using a pair of light weapons. Manyshot is bow related so I guess you can ignore all that.

For dual strike you use something like Ghost Step and Ghost Strike+attack with both weapons as one attack rolling the worst of the two attack bonus's at -4 (but without the usual two weapon fighting penalties). If you hit you deal damage with each weapon seperately. However apply Sudden Strike only to the primairy weapon.

What still works is Woodland Sniper.

Works something like this
round 1
Swift: Ki dodge
Standard: Throw
Move: Sniping shot (hide check at -20)

Round 2+?
Swift: Ki Dodge
Full Round: Throw lots
Free: Hide and Move

If you ever fail to hide at the end of a round, on the next round you don't get to hide for free though. So a REALLY high hide check is crucial.

Be like the wind, and make EVERY hit count, poisons that deal Con damage or cause Unconciousness are exceptionally good. Also consider lowering an individuals lowest ability score. For example if someones in plate mail high save DC dex based poison is better, if someone's in no armor STR based boisons good.

A ninja is prepaired. Suggest going to www.ninjaburger.com (http://www.ninjaburger.com) some good ninja knowledge there. Just remember, ninjas should have honor. Honor is a very BROAD term however so what applies as one mans honor code may not at all have a thing to do with anothers.

My favorate anime Naruto revolves around Ninja, and I'd say maybe half of them even take a leven in the Ninja class or anything too like it. A friend of mine known on these boards as Disposable Hero did an AMAZING job of the character Nedji with a Psion.

The point is, any Ninja be they of the Ninja class or not HAS to be sneaky and capable of some amazing feats. My favorate Ninjas so far have included a level 12 Soul Knife and a level 6 Bard. Weird huh?The Ranger class is practically screaming NINJA of the forest, with some really amazing spells Camoflage, Hide in plain sight and two weapon style choices among other things.
