D&D 5E (2014) Making a real Ninja in D&D

[Garthanos]

Well, take the Rogue as a base, add more combat ability, and emphasize stealth and mobility over social skills. Less picking pockets, more parkour and climbing...

Yeh a flavor of rogue seems just too obvious

I guess it depends on what you want out of the word "real".

for some reason this hit a funny bone and I am not sure how to express why

D&D is already a real ninja.

Proof: You never saw the ninja.
