Message: <blockquote data-quote="StreamOfTheSky" data-source="post: 4377321" data-attributes="member: 35909">Had a new idea for a Ninutsu Focus.  It has a bunch of stuff tacked together, because most of them are minor (IMHO) and sort of related.  If it's too strong, things can just get cut.Untraceable (Su)You are nigh impossible to track down by even the most exotic of methods.  Add your Ninja level to the DC for any creature attempting to track you, and if you move at half speed, you can take the time to leave no tracks at all.  Against any creature with the Scent ability that would smell your precense, you can make a Hide check at -5 opposed by that creature's Spot check.  Against a creature with Tremorsense, you can attempt a Move Silently check at -5 opposed by that creature's Listen check to avoid being detected when you normally would be.Do note, in the case of (nearly) all of these abilities, it's not automatically trumping the respective detection methods, merely giving a (good) chance of defeating them.And now, I'll attempt to make a feat.  It needs a name, for now it will be Master Shinobi.  Still need to think of benefits for some of the focuses.Master ShinobiYou have mastered one or more of your Ninjutsu Focus abilities.Prerequisite: Ninja of the Sublime Way level 11thBenefit:: based on the Ninjutsu Focus abilities you have, you gain one or more special benefits described below.  You gain the benefits for all Ninjutsu Focuses you have, even ones gain after taking this feat.Crippling Strike: As the benefit from Savvy Rogue.Death Attack: You gain a +2 competence bonus on the Death Attack save DC.Defensive Roll: As the benefit from Savvy Rogue.Find Pressure Point: [Empty]Harbinger of Death: You gain +1d6 to your Sudden Strike damage against any target that is suffering from fear (Shaken or worse), regardless of the source of fear.Hide in Plain Sight: A number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier, after successfully hiding within a shadow, you can transfer to another shadow which you have line of effect to as a free action.  The new location must be within 10 ft per Ninja level.Opportunist: As the benefit from Savvy Rogue.Running Climb: You can use Feather Fall as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier, CL equal to your Ninja level.Sniper's Eye: Once per day, you can reroll the attack roll of a ranged sneak attack that missed its target.  You must take the result of the new roll, even if it is worse than the first one.Springing Attack: You gain a +2 competence bonus on the attack roll when attacking with this ability.Untraceable: A number of rounds per day equal to your Ninja level, you can benefit from Mind Blank as a supernatural ability.  The benefit takes effect automatically when subjected to any spell or ability that it would protect against without the (harmless) descriptor.  This takes place with no concious effort required on the character's part, and lasts until no longer needed, or until the rounds per day are used up.  The benefit can be used several times, each expending at least one round from those remaining to use.So, if anyone has ideas for the missing benefits or a better name, let me know.  Thanks.  I am kinda thinking of giving Find Pressure Point the benefit of "You can use an Ambush feat and sacrafice one less d6 of damage than normal," but it seems kinda lame to me.EDIT: That's actually the only one without a benefit, it seems.  Though, anything that is currently "+2 competence bonus to x" is me saying, "I couldn't think of anything more interesting, oh well."</blockquote>
