[QUOTE="Goblyn, post: 1503307, member: 16889"] This is my attempt. Comments and criticizms welcome. I haven't playetested this yet, so any feedback is appreciated. Oh, and the Dallaxia, Semdenuri and Sarvol Wot stuff is world-specific. Dragon Ninja Modeled on Ryu Hayabusa of Ninja Gaiden, the Dragon Ninja class is my attempt to port him and his cool abilities into DnD. It's not play tested, so I do not know if it is over- or under- powered. Adventures: Ryu always seemed to be on a quest for revenge, and judging by other ninja-movies I've seen, it seems to be the common shtick: train all your life to attain superhuman prowess punctuated by otherworldly powers so that you can go after whatever evil and powerful individual ends up killing your clan/father/dog. Characteristics: Kicking a lot of ass and looking good doing it. Some of these abilities may prove to be less than useful, but they score high on the cool factor. For anyone who's ever wanted to run on walls. Alignment: Ninja seem to gravitate towards lawful(the code-of-honour type lawful, not the follow-the-law type). There is no real restriction, though. Religion: Ninja often look on ancestors as others look at gods, albeit with a closer connection, and look at gods like others look at powerful monsters(dragons). Background: Ninja often are part of a clan; see the Clan Ninja PrC(this one is pending). Any particular Dragon Ninja hails originally from dallaxian colonies on Semdenuri or Sarvol Wot. Races: Only humans and dallaxians become Dragon Ninja Classes: Dragon Ninja work with who they must, but prefer the company of those whose agility is at least close to their own. Game Rule Information Dragon Ninja have the following game statistics.
