Uh... well, if there aren't any rules for it I'd have a hard time allowing it as a playable race even if I decided to... :\

The Ninja class is located in Complete Adventurer, and the Kenku is located in Monster Manual III. But, don't worry at all, that was just one idea, and I didn't know that you only had the Core books. Running a class and race without the DM possessing the books containing them is WAY more trouble than it's worth, and I want to integrate smoothly (or, at least as smoothly as I canDire Lemming said:
). So... not a problem, I've always got more tricks up my sleeve!How about I provide a little muscle for this campaign? If you're OK with an isolated psionic character, I wouldn't mind trying out a Psychic Warrior (in the SRD). Powers like Chameleon (+10 to Hide) can provide ample stealth with creative application, and unpredictability is a huge boon to any potential assassin. Yes, I am aware that non-divine magic is looked upon with suspicion, but I intend to go out of my way to keep my very appearance hidden. I think I can lie about making somebody levitate from time to time.
Other ideas, should this prove too strange, would be a classic Urban Ranger, or perhaps a Paladin of Slaughter (though this would take a LOT of work to make it, well, work), but I really think that Psychic Warrior would be the most interesting.
As a general idea of how this guy would work, he'd most likely focus on mind-affecting and transportation-related psionic powers to gain an edge in battle, combined with no small amount of martial prowess.

That certainly does sound interesting. If you can write up a good background for a character like that then I don't see why I can't accept it. If you haven't guessed yet I'm not particularly experienced but... well anyway, just take a look at the front page of this thread. It has links to several other threads that will have info on the gameworld. Also, you can question Blackrat who created the world, though I altered a few things here and there to suit my purposes, and most of the details of this specific city are my ideas. Anything else, BR would be better to ask.

Yeah. If Dire doesn't have anything against psionics it's good on my books too. I actually once used a psionic warrior on my own game too. They have easier time to hide the powers than mages have with magic. Most people wouldn't actually even know of their existence.
If you want to go with Paladin of Slaughter he would be a priest of "The Warrior". The problem with such a character is that I don't think he would enjoy sneaking and killing just the "mark" but rather wading in and kill everything that was in the close proximity.

OK, I should have a full sheet of info up for this Psychic Warrior by the end of the day, or tomorrow morning at the very latest - but you can expect it sooner. Thanks for the opportunity, and I look forward to playing!
That's because, as far as the city is concerned, he doesn't exist. Sneaky sneaky sneaky...Blackrat said:
That was the problem I foresaw. As such, it probably would have been wiser to go with Tyranny - a little more subtle. But, still, I love the concept of a well-trained and vicious thug. Or, maybe I've just watched A Clockwork Orange a bit too much...Blackrat said:

Well, my hard drive was devoured by rabid gerbils so the game's dead. Happy April 1st everyone.

OK, here's Spider, my Psychic Warrior, for your scrutinizing-related enjoyment. If there's any problems mechanically, just let me know, and I'll correct it. Once all corrections are made (and if he checks out period), I'll place him in the Rogue's Gallery with background and whatnot, if you'd like.
Oh, and all of the stuff here is SRD, save for the Composite Greatbow, which is from Complete Warrior. It's just a larger longbow - it does 1d10 damage, weighs 6 pounds, costs a little more, and has a 130 foot range. The price is listed in the entry. Hope it's OK? I love the idea of the massive sniper's bow.
