First, before we start clear any assumptions you may have about this. For example,
A) No, this is not another "Naruto" class! Personally, I am sick of the Naruto classes. Though it is a great anime/manga
B) Yes, ninjas are similar to rogues yet similar to monks also.
Before reading, I suggest you look at these sites for the backround on ninjas and not the popular view of a ninja

Okay, after watching an episode on The Military Channel on ninjas ( can't remember what show, and it is an American TV station.) I have been inspired to do this. Okay, let's get started shall we?

This ninja class is based off of some myths about their magics. This ninja has the following magics:

-Invisibility
-Walk through walls
-Can see slightly into the future. (In combat, what opponet is about to do next)

--Powers/features/etc.
-Improvised weapons give only a -2 penalty. (ninjas used unorthodox weapons)
-(forget what actual term is) Make a check Int vs. Will is sucessful, next move is predicted.
-Wall walk: higher level, thicker the wall can be.
-great at confusion tactics (the ninjas when fighting, the enemy would get confused how to fight I mean how do I fight someone with a farming clippers?)
-Tokugawa, the person who united Japan, used ninja guards disguised as farmers ready to strike, so they were trained to examine a persons head and shoulders to predict "Is he about to jump out and attack?"

Remember, I am still figuring things out. Remember P.E.A.C.H
Thank you for reading.



NOTE: This class is still a concept actual mechanics are incomplete.
