KI

POWER BY: Hanzo187 (Matt Sylvain)

The NINJA
To move about the field of combat is no easy task. To do so
quickly and silently is another matter entirely. In the world
of the ninja, one must constantly be on the move. To remain
on the move is to remain on the offensive. In this respect, it
will also keep the enemy from coming after you.
In this supplement, you will be introduced to a variety of
new ninja skills, including:

✦ A new build, the tiger ninja. The tiger ninja is a warrior

of pure ferocity, seeking to hurt his enemies as much as
possible. Originally introduced in a previous forum, the
tiger ninja has been revamped and slightly modified.

✦ New ninja powers, which include additional powers for

ninja who follow the Way of the Rat or the Way of the
Scorpion. These powers involve abilities that increase the
ninja’s ability to move quickly and decrease their
enemies’ ability to come after them.

✦ Eight new paragon paths, each of which involve a

different form of specialization in ninjutsu. From the leaf
in the wind to the tiger claw, every path has something to
offer a ninja.

✦ Two new epic destinies, the martial spiritualist and the

ninja master. The martial spiritualist is a ninja who
follows the path of spirit and steel, finding a balance
between spiritual training and martial combat, and the
ninja master is a warrior who has reached the pinnacle of
ninjutsu training.

✦ New feats, which include additional uses of your class

features along with various bonuses to attack rolls and
damage rolls.

Master of Twin Blades
“These two blades have become my life over the last several years.
My ki has seeped into these weapons during these long years, so
much so that they are now as much a part of me as my fingers and
toes.”
Prerequisites: Ninja class, any ranger multiclass feat,
proficiency with light blade
It takes a special warrior to master the use of two weapons.
To master one weapon requires years of training to learn the
intricacies of martial combat. To learn how to use a weapon
is to treat the weapon as a part of yourself. If you cannot
connect with your weapon, the weapon will turn against
you. Once your weapon and you are one, you cannot be
beaten.
The mastery of two weapons, however, is another matter.
Wielding a weapon in each hand is much more difficult and
requires further training to master. Two weapons create
conflict with one another; one could catch on the other if you
are not properly trained, and if your blades become angry
and fight each other, you die. However, if you both blades
become friends, you can become a whirlwind, a hurricane, a
torrent of destruction and mysticism.
Now, you have attained the skill necessary to carry two
weapons in perfect harmony. Your years of training have
given you the skill to turn your blades into, at best, great
friends, and at worst, strong allies. Your weapons know you
have devoted a great deal of time and effort to bring them
together, and they finally understand, and these weapons
will not fight against each other. They are united.

New Epic Destinies
Martial Spiritualist
Before you mastered your spirit, you had to master the body. You
began your training in martial combat, and where your comrades
still rely on martial skill, they do not rely on it to the extent you
do.
Prerequisites: 21st level, ninja class, paragon multiclassing
in a martial class
In ninjutsu, all those who wish to master the way of the
ninja must learn to harness the power of the body, the mind,
and the spirit. When a ninja learned to master the power of
the spirit, most wished to concentrate on focusing their ki
into their weaponry, as if their weapons were a conduit for
their power. However, there were some who, while knowing
the strength of the spirit, did not wish to forget where they
came.
When the first ninja began their training, they recognized
the importance of a strong body. If one was weak, the other
would suffer. For that reason, the ninja began their first days
in martial training. For a ninja to effectively use ki, they had
to learn how to use their weapons first, or else the weapons
were useless. In this way, the ninja were first trained in
martial combat.
You have decided to follow a middle ground of combat.
You have harnessed the power of ki, but unlike the rest, you
recognize the importance of martial skill, and you feel it is
best to find a balance between the two. After all the training
and sweat, you have found that balance.
Immortality of spirit and steel.
The memories of you are contained in the weapons you
wield. Your weapons become valuable heirlooms you clan
will pass from generation to generation once your time has
come.
Like the ancient samurai, your steel carries memories.
When the next generation grasps the cold blade in their
fingers, they feel the years of training, sweat, and dedication
you devoted to your pursuits.
Memory contained in steel: Your weapons acted as a
conduit for your skills, and the metal contained within your
blades became as much a part of you as your soul. Once you
have completed your final assignment or quest, you leave
the clan from which you devoted your life to. Before you do,
however, you pass on the weapon you so long held within
your hands. Parting with a piece of your soul has its
purposes: By relinquishing your prized weapon, you impart
your wisdom to your clan in the hopes another will follow in
your footsteps. Additionally, it signals the end of a life of
conflict, but the beginning of a life of peace, a life aspired by
many ninja.

hit, all critical hits the target makes against you are treated as

points or less, you may make a Dexterity vs. AC attack as an

Ninja Master
You have reached the pinnacle of your training. The years spent,
the blood you have shed, the steps you have taken, everything you
have done has led you to this point. A true master of movement. In
a way, you are finally free.
Prerequisites: 21st level, ninja class
To move quickly and efficiently is the first step needed to
call oneself a ninja. Movement allows you to keep your
enemy on your toes and, in dire situations, find an escape
route. Mastery of movement, both for yourself and against
your enemies, is what makes you a true ninja. To be a ninja
who moves both quickly and silently is considered to be a
supreme ninja.
Ninja are well-versed in the ways of concealment and
stealthy movement. Years of training and mastery of your
spirit have enabled you to become a wraith, an abstract
being, a wisp in the air.
Only ninja can be ninja masters, as their skill in quickness
and silence are of paramount importance.
Immortality? Not for us.
A ninja who is well-known is not a good ninja. To be a
ninja is to be unnoticed and unacknowledged. For a ninja to
be known means to be recognized during a mission. Such
recognition makes their missions difficult at and, at worst,
gets them killed. In the end, the most legendary ninja are
those that are not known by the masses. They are the ninja
who are known only to the clansmen they devoted their
lives training. In that sense, you are no different from
Nezumi, Sasori, and Tora, warriors known only to the
masters of mysticism.
Knowledge of the Way: The Way of the Ninja is a method
first taught to young ninja during their first days as students.
Intended more as a riddle than a way of life, the Way is not
as simple as a mere statement: To be a ninja is to truly be a
master of oneself, such that you have skills that could be
passed on to future generations. It is for that reason that,
while not legends among most people, the three masters of
ninjutsu are veritable legends among the ninja. With your
guidance, it is possible a fourth ninjutsu path will be opened.
