Duelist helps cover the sword-fighting aspect of a ninja, and their wakizashis can deal greatsword damage while also being dual-wielded. Disarming and Tripping Strikes are designed to impose broadly useful penalties on enemies, while Parry is good at negating potentially dire blows in melee. The cyborg ninja also has ranged capabilities at their disposal, being proficient in Advanced equipment that grants them access to most non-automatic firearms, while their Wealth Level lets them easily buy a suppressor for their concealed carry pistol. For their feats, Guerilla lets them both see and hide better in darkness, while Spy Training grants them access to more stealthy tricks and a bonus skill. Fast Feet and Free Running significantly increase the mobility options and feel highly appropriate for a ninja, so I took both of those at 6th level.Regarding ideal cybernetics, I had quite the number of useful options for ninja types, but I decided on a concealed weapon arm and jet boosts. The former was to have a built-in wakizashi to let them be armed at all times, and the latter helps them reach otherwise unreachable locations on top of their already great climbing capabilities. The Spy ability to disguise weapons and tools can be applied to their other wakizashi and pistol to take their weapons into otherwise restricted places while having one more slot for another tool or weapon. They may need to leave their excess shurikens behind, but that’s not a huge loss.The cyborg ninja’s major weakness is their glass cannon nature. I was torn between taking feats that would directly enhance their staying power such as Healthy, or making them a better ninja in general. I went with the latter option on account that the cyborg ninja can ideally outmaneuver foes in a variety of ways, from three-dimensional movement to hiding in darkness. They can do quite a bit of damage in melee, but ideally they’ll only start combat once they have the advantage.</blockquote>
