[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 4860782, member: 1956"] From a Japanese gamer's point of view. It is true that in many legends and fiction stories, Ninjas are believed to be having some kind of magical powers. But still, they were basically spies, stealth specialists, assassins and guerrillas. The word "Ninja" can be translated into "sneaker" or "stealthy one". So I prefer to use Rogue class as the base for Ninja. Even a plain single-classed Rogue will work perfectly well as a ninja as they can already wield Dagger (just call it Tanto, Kunai, or Kodachi) and Shuriken. Ranger will be the second-best alternative, I guess. Then, I will let them multi-class into various other classes if I want to give them some more "mythical" tricks. Almost any other classes will work as a source of multi-classing. Arcane, divine, or even Primal classes will give them some mystic powers. And of course, other martial classes will be good to make more realistic variation of Ninjas. Rogue/Ranger will be good to make a typical Ninja in historical (fiction) stories without much super-natural phenomenon. Rogue/Fighter or Rogue/Warlord will make good Jo-nin (Ninjas of Samurai status, usually commanding other Ninjas). [/QUOTE]
