Table: The Ninja

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the ninja.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A ninja is proficient with all simple weapons, and with light armor.

Sudden Strike: If a Ninja can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The ninja’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not). This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two ninja levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sudden strike, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as

sudden strikes only if the target is within 30 feet. With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, a ninja can make a sudden strike that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sudden strike, not even with the usual –4 penalty. The ninja must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a weak spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A ninja cannot suddn strike while attacking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose weak spots are beyond reach.

Ki Pool (Su): At 1st level, a ninja gains a pool of ki, supernatural energy he can use to accomplish amazing feats. A ninja's ki pool is equal to one half his ninja level plus his Wisdom modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he gains +2 to Will saves. This is rounded down, so a ninja without a Wisdom modifier at first level has no Ki.

Jutsu Path:  At first level the Ninja chooses Ninjutsu, Genjutsu or Taijutsu. In order to maintain their path the Ninja may not have more Jutsu's in another path. Thus the first Jutsu the Ninja chooses will be from their path. The Ninja gains skill bonus' based on his path as shown below.

Ninjutus: +2 to Disable Device and Stealth. This bonus becomes +4 at 10th level.

Genjutsu: +2 to Bluff and Perception. This bonus becomes +4 at 10th level.

Taijutus: +2 to Acrobatics and Escape Artist. This bonus becomes +4 at 10th level.

Jutsu Power: At every even level the Ninja may choose a Jutsu Power. Some powers have requirements. Additional feats will be listed further down below.

If taken 5 times then the user may make a full attack action with the weapon and divide their attacks up amongst all targets in range with the weapon returning after each attack.

Special: While the item is flying through the air a foe can spend a readied action to grab the item if it passes through their threat range. They must beat your CMD which you get a +2 to because of the nature of the maneuver. If they successfully grab the item then you must beat their CMD at the end of your turn or the weapon will not be able to return to your hand and the Jutsu ends.

Duration: One Minute.

Effect: Produces an illusionary double that appears adjacent to you and can move no more than 15' (3 squares) away.

When you move you may make a stealth check opposed by perception. If successful then enemies do not know which is the real you without some sort of aid. Enemies that know which is the real you may point it out on their turn as a free action. When an enemy attacks you if one or more clones are adjacent to you there is a 50% chance of a clone being attacked instead, unless they know which is the real you.

» Domori no Jutsu

» Speech Impediment Technique

Type: Genjutsu

Description: The subject slowly loses the ability to read, write and speak languages as the technique overstimulates the language center of its brain. The subject may still attempt to speak, but it will only spew gibberish; it may attempt to read, but will not understand; it may attempt to write, but will only scribble. This effect happens progressively as the technique lasts.

Requirements: Intimidate 4 ranks. Spend one Ki as a standard action.

Duration: One minute.

Effect: The target must make a Will save DC 12 + the users Wisdom modifier. If the save is failed the target suffers the following effects each round.

1st round: The subject loses the ability to read or write its non-native languages (languages not granted by a race). +4 to the DC for Concentration checks to cast spells.

3rd round: The subject loses the ability to speak its non-native languages. +8 to the DC for Concentration checks to cast spells. Must make a concentration check for each spell cast. Jutsu's cost an additional Ki to use.

5th round: The subject loses the ability to read or write its native languages. Scrolls for spells or Jutsu's can no longer be used. Conversely the subject is immune to Explosive Runes and the like.

7th round: The subject loses the ability to speak its native languages. Cannot cast spells or use Jutsu's since both require the subject to remember something they can no longer remember. Even divine casters and spontaneous casters are effected. Diplomacy checks cannot be made and all other Charisma based checks suffer a -8 penalty.

10th round: The subject must make another Will save or become confused for 1d4 rounds as the language center of their brain violently returns to normal. A confused creature is mentally befuddled and cannot act normally. A confused creature cannot tell the difference between ally and foe, treating all other creatures as enemies. Allies wishing to cast a beneficial spell that requires a touch on a confused creature must succeed on a melee touch attack. If a confused creature is attacked, it attacks the creature that attacked it until that creature is dead or out of sight.

Roll on the following table at the beginning of each confused subject’s turn each round to see what the subject does in that round.

d% Behavior

01–25 Act normally.

26–50 Do nothing but babble incoherently.

51–75 Deal 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand.

76–100 Attack nearest creature (for this purpose, a familiar counts as part of the subject’s self ).

A confused creature who can’t carry out the indicated action does nothing but babble incoherently. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking a confused creature. Any confused creature who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes. Note that a confused creature will not make attacks of opportunity against anything that it is not already devoted to attacking (either because of its most recent action or because it has just been attacked).

Special: This Jutsu can be used from hiding. Make a stealth check opposed by the targets perception. If you win the target has no idea they're under the effects of Jutsu, nor do they know where the effect came from.

Summonable Creatures

1ST-LEVEL NINJA ANIMAL

Typical 1st level Ninja Animals.

All natural attacks deal 1d4 damage (1d3 for tiny creatures). With claw/claw/bite the bite is primary and claw attacks are made at -5 to hit and deal half the strength bonus in damage. If the creature just has bite as an attack then the damage becomes 1d6 (1d4 for tiny) + times and a half strength bonus.

Tiny creatures get an additional +1 to hit and to AC due to size and an additional +4 to stealth checks. Tiny creatures also gain Weapon Finesse as a bonu feat.

A vipers poison DC is 10 + ½ the vipers Hit Dice + constitution modifier. Choose 1 of the following for 1st level viper poison types, 1d6 damage, dazzled for 1 minute or sickened for one round.

All Ninja Animals are capable of speech. If their summoner falls the summoned creature will act to save their life first if possible before the summoning effect ends. They can execute most tasks given to them and are fully capable of reason. They work with their summoner because they want to. If the summoner's alignment changes then they will have to change what they summon as soon as they level since the summoned creature will no longer answer their call.

Here are some sample Ninja Animals.
