11-09-03, 06:06 PM Nobody's EVER played a ninja?!!:OMG!

11-09-03, 06:19 PM Er, well, I've never played a ninja. I can offer some advice, though.

1. Last I knew, you can only bump your thread after 48 hours of inactivity.. It's generally good etiquette.

2. Message boards can move much, much slower than chat rooms. Someone around here has played a ninja before. In fact, I was hoping that this thread had something to do with Ninjor, the world of Ninjas. Regardless, it can take a while.

3. Most of the internet takes naps on Sunday afternoons. It's nigh-impossible to find a busy forum during these times. I don't know why; it's just the way things go. :(

Anyway, good luck finding more players of ninjas.

11-09-03, 06:20 PM I am a DM, but at present I have 2 ninjas I control. One is a NPC, the other is an old character of mine that is more or less an NPC now. Why the need for a foundation for ninjas? Ninjas tend to avoid publicity.

11-09-03, 06:51 PM Ah, sorry. I'm a newbie.

11-09-03, 07:09 PM I've played several ninjas (one of whom is entirely legendary, as he is super-duper epic).

Hara Yoshi (male human NE Fighter 1/Ninja 6/Rogue 6/Nightsong Infiltrator 10/ Nightsong Enforcer 10/ Assassin 6/ Perfect Wight 10)

Deadly.

11-10-03, 08:22 PM It's cool Shinobi. Everyone's a newbie once. It's how we react to our n00bness that makes the difference. :D

The weapon looks interesting. Sadly, my homebrew is karate-less and, thus, ninja-less.

12-18-03, 03:55 PM I played a ninja from a minor clan in Rokugan. He was a very flexible, useful addition to our party, and deadly fighter, particularly unarmed (multiclass fighter 6/Monk 6/Ninja of the Crescent Moon 5 when the campaign ended).
Favored weapons (other than unarmed) were reach weapons (naginata and spiked chain), as he had Combat Reflexes and a high Dex. One of his favorite magic items was the ever-flexible rod of lordly might, which he took from a fallen yuan-ti fighter.

01-18-05, 08:10 PM Foundations are only allowed in the Rec Room, after a great deal of annoyance and hubbub a long time ago. :)

01-18-05, 09:13 PM Actually they're only allowed on the Guild Hall board. I move this thread there. :)

01-18-05, 09:25 PM I've been trying to play a ninja character, but the person who has the notes for the campaign always looses them. :(

01-19-05, 02:19 AM I am currently working (ever so slowly) on an all-ninja campaign inspired by (but by no means adhering to the story/setting of) Naruto.

There are no humans or elves in my world. The main population consists of halflings (with interspersings of Jade Dwarves, reclusive gnome monks, tengu, kitsune, kappa, half-dragons, and some sort of lizard-folk).

I've been going back and forth on how I'll be handling the ninja abilities. I've tinkered with creating my own ninja classes, looked at various classes (most recently the ninja and scout base classes in The Complete Adventurer), and even considered just using Mutants & Masterminds (a loosely d20 based versatile superhero system by Green Ronin).

Pegging down the proper way to represent ninja is a difficult task.

01-21-05, 09:47 AM I think I saw a ninja class that said something about Naruto in the title a few days ago on the Classes board. (edit: looks like it's been bumped back up and it happens to be the work of NightScreamer20)

A compilation of ninja classes wouldn't be half bad to make.

Heheheh. . . Just wait till the search function is back up. . .

Core Classes
SHINOBI NO BUSHI (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=188379), heretic888
NINJA (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=356701), Shadowfoot
SHINOBI [Naruto Based] (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=356723), NightScreamer20

Linking like that's okay, right? Right? Doesn't sound like it wouldn't be okay. . .

01-21-05, 10:02 AM I'm more of the evil/corrupt aristocat/demonlord type of person but I'll join because you need some activity and I enjoy the concept of the ninja.

01-21-05, 03:15 PM {Crowley walks into the guild, requesting an audience for a mission. It seems that the Blue Lizard has been attacked by monkey pirates, led by the dread pirate monkey Eep McEep. Knowing that ninjas are anathema for pirates, he has asked you to come to the inn. Do you accept?}

I'm not even kidding, here.

01-22-05, 12:08 AM Ninjas are a good counter for run-of-the-mill pirates, but MONKEY pirates require something special...

ROBOT Ninjas! ::cue Monkey vs. Robot song::
