3.5 Ninja

[Eye Tyrant]

I am looking for a conversion or update to the Ninja class from Rokugan OA... any out there?

It's in the 3.5 PHB. Have a look under "Rogue".

There isn't one from AEG that I know of. There was a Ninja class in Dragon a few issues ago, which was okay, but not great. Not cool enough to be a real ninja.

There is a Ninja core class (that is, not a PrC) in Dragon #318.

You can say that again!!!

I think the best would be to multiclass between gestalt Monk-Sorcerer and gestalt Fighter-Rogue.

Assuming the other PCs don't have access to gestalt classes of course - such would dilute the specialness of the ninja character.

That's the worst misspelling of "Bard" I've ever seen!

I mean, not with the existing flavor -- lutes and magic music and stuff. But a bit of combat, a bit of stealth, some mind-frelling magic, and the best trick-people skills out there, and you're looking at somebody who can use trickery, magic, stealth, and combat as necessary to get to anybody. Put 'em in black theater tights and have their bardic music take the form of sacred ninja meditation chants ("This chant will focus your chi, giving you a +1 to hit and to damage!"), and you're golden.

A ninja class can't truly be considered a ninja unless it has the Real Ultimate Power!

A ninja just ain't a ninja unless his purpose is to totally flip out and kill people.

Don't forget that ninja are mammals.

Which rules out ninja with the reptilian descriptor...

So I guess Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Raphael weren't ninjas at alll... but renaissance artists!
