[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9547566, member: 85555"] I think the ninja subclass (it isn't called ninja and I think it should be) is actually pretty decent. With D&D I am not expecting them to fully capture and emulate samurai and ninja movies, just bring those things into D&D. I'd rather these be distinct classes because I do think you can get more customization of the concept that way, but just perusing the subclasses they have for the monk, the two that stand out as pretty decently capturing a concept are the warrior of shadow and warrior of the open hand (I must admit I do not get the warrior of mercy at all). I mean I have seen physicians in martial arts movies and that can work, but these guys are like plague doctor monks or something. I just don't get the concept (maybe I am missing something about it). The warrior of the elements text is interesting but the picture I feel like they missed an opportunity to have a character who looked more grounded in wuxia or something). I do think the subclass thing can work here, I would like it better if they had embraced the label ninja, but this is a pretty stealthy warrior character it seems (obviously that sort of thing is hard to really judge until you have seen it in play a bunch) [/QUOTE]
