[QUOTE="Mike Myler, post: 9063703, member: 6726030"] Ninjas were rogues with disguise kits, climbing gear, gunpowder, and a couple other weird tools (the Cutthroat archetype would work fine for it). The "dressed in black night assassins" are a product of stagecraft and zeitgeist (not the IP but the regular noun); historically they were quiet saboteurs and spies that predominantly were about reconnaissance, or depending on when/where you're looking playing a part in staged retreats. [I]If [/I]they found themselves in combat they've kinda already failed at whatever they were sent to do. When sent to assassinate (which did happen, just more rarely than everything else) they used rusty blades or more preferably came with several friends all wielding (relatively silent) bows. For my spoons [USER=6690965]@Pedantic[/USER] has the right of it for what you're looking for. Note that not all ninjas are going to be spellcasters with the synergy feats either, only the ninja masters. I think the more fruitful question [USER=7033886]@Corinnguard[/USER] may be circling is which adept and rogue archetypes go best with the Nightstalker synergy feat tree. ;) [/QUOTE]
