The ninja gets an Ac bonus based on his Wisdom and the paladin uses it for spells. IMO more beneficial for a ninja then a paladin but still useful for both.Ninja High Dex and High WisdomPaladin - High Char and High Wisdom.Both benefit from Str and Con.Since the Ninja has that Sudden strike ability high Str is real useful.Ninjas get the poison use ability. Using poison is considered evil in the core rules so is in contradictin to the paladin code of conduct (not using poison is specifically listed).Since you are giving up heavy armor both classes benefit equally from a high dex, add to that the Ac benefit from Wis for the ninja class it gets pretty powerful. I still think a ranger/ninja makes a whole lot more sense and is not a living contradiction.</blockquote>
