[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9547514, member: 23751"] Not optional proficiencies that have nothing to do with what the class represents. The class is a set list of abilities related to the class and what it represents. There are monk class abilities that don't represent ninja class abilities, so it fails to be a ninja class unless you are willing to kludge a square peg into a round hole and settle. I'm not willing to do that. Mechanics don't back that up in D&D. In D&D they are a set list of abilities that represent the class concept and everyone who takes that class anywhere in the world has the exact same abilities. Subclass will give some variety, but even then there is no variance within a subclass. Everyone who takes the subclass has the same exact abilities and options. They are very often solitary. Enough that they wouldn't have an ability dedicated to only allies. That they sometimes operate in groups is why I said either enemies or both enemies and allies. [/QUOTE]
