Historically speaking, ninja DID wear armor when going into expected battle. The same basic armor design as a samurai in fact. The only time they didn't wear said armor is when they were attempting to blend in with the peasantry. The shinobi shozoku (the movie famous black ninja suit) is something that was born in the Kabuki theater Noh plays as stagehand clothing, and has nothing to do with historic ninja.The closest thing I have seen to "real" ninja armor in a movie would in Batman Begins, with 2 major exceptions. Ninja colors would have been either deep red or dark blue for night camouflage or white for snow, or would have been standard samurai armor coloring (thus a wide range). The second would have been either the use of sanjaku-tenugui or a samurai helm - though the batman-ninja armor is a half way between style.With that said, I would classify a ninja as the same as a rogue when it comes to armor.  As generalhenry points out - the rogue IS a ninja. If you want to create the feel of a practioner of modern ninjitsu it should be a paragon path. It would then gain access to the more ki powered "controller" style maneuvers.JMHO.</blockquote>
