[QUOTE="Truth Seeker, post: 2590577, member: 11804"] As stated by one poster. Ninjustu is mostly a well disciplince balance mind of the mental training profession. *Then comes the body* Barbarian-foo, is a chaotic, in your face, ignoring pain, raging at all hours, killing machine. Ninjas are trained to strike unseen, unheard, and if wanted, strike at a distance or just a few feet from their intended target. A Barbarian will mo down whatever is it's way. A ninja will use the terrain to maximum effect when tracking their target. A barbarian enraged, will ignore all advantages. The most dangerous weapon of a ninja's arsenal, is their mind. A most dangerous weapon of a barbarian's, is the ability to withstand damage and give it. A ninja's main motto, is to be in and out of the target zone, before anyone realizes that someone is dead, cause of them. A barbarian will kill everyone in their path, while advancing. [COLOR=SandyBrown]Cost[/COLOR]:If the player wishes to go that route, then there is a major cost to the character outright. His/her wisdom saving throws, will be have to reduced to the required number on ability to tap rage. [COLOR=SandyBrown]Ergo[/COLOR]: Drop down their wisdom score or ST to meet the effect level of being a barbarian. With this also, certain mind disciplines techniques of ninjustu will be lost or reduce to their barest minumim, and will go no higher, as long the ability to rage is present. [COLOR=SandyBrown]Advantage[/COLOR]:The ability to add more damage to the backstab, will be great(will not allow when raging). To run faster, and the usual compliments of being a barbarian. [COLOR=SandyBrown]Downside[/COLOR]:If the clan that trained him or her, gets wind of this sudden change, they will have to examine the merits of it. But mostly, they will keep to the main traditions, and will consider this individual as a pariah. In the end, death will be the prefer method to end this dishonor. More could be stated. But this is just the basic outline. And the answer to the requested premise. No. [/QUOTE]
