Requires 5 Rogue levels and 5 Fighter levels. Ninja draw their power from a refined blend of raw skill and dabbling in the Arcane arts. They have access to some of the best technology of their time, and are often tasked with using their every sense and wit to utilize them to maximum efficiency. After years of the most arduous physical and mental training, most Ninja end up in a constant state of mild paranoia. Ninja draw their magical power through Ki, which can only flow when they are Centered - aligned with the universe around them. Ninja generally spread their skills across a broad range, though typically prioritize Stealth, Finesse Attack, and Detection. They specialize in light armor, special weapons, and stealth techniques to kill as quickly and quietly as possible.
