All the characters in the game are PC/NPC gestalts, so the ninja isn't an uber-jin. But the spellcasting fits in nicely with the idea that the ninja had supernatural powers.I read a interesting two part artical in one of the gaming magazines on the ninja once. It said that while capable fighters, they relied alot on planning, trickery and psychology to intimidate their enemies. One example I remember clearly was the laying of stones (just below the surface) across a stream, allowing them to run 'across the water'. Another was to remained holed up in complete darkeness for a day before venturing out to give themselves exceptional night vision. According to the article, they cultivated this myth of supernatural powers to demoralise their opponents.</blockquote>
