Definitely interesting. I'll look more into that, though what Pendagast pointed out may be a bit detrimental >_<

I'm definitely going for damage output, as we have a Kitsune Sorceress to be the face (22 Cha beats anything I can do XD). Yes, the race is locked, as we've already played one session, though he may let me tweak my ability scores. Probably won't be happy about it, but we've only gone through a single encounter so far (it was a short session), so changing ability scores shouldn't be a problem.

DocShock -
See above for race. And damn, are you sure they don't stack? I didn't notice anything stating that you couldn't stack them together

1. We used a system where you are given the starting stats of 18, 17, 15, 15, 13, and 11 to distribute as you saw fit. My racial bonus as a human went to Dex.
2. See above X3
And I'll look into the Moonlight Stalker. Is that a race, prestige class, subtype...?

Greetings, wonderful people of Paizo! Long have I wandered your boards, seeking secondhand advice. Today, I come to you directly, hoping to be humbled by your wisdom =)

So, I'm in a campaign with a fairly flexible DM, and I decided to roll up a Ninja (This is only my second PF character, though I did play a good number of 3.5 games back in the day X3). We're planning on going to level 20, and he has a tendency to throw ridiculous challenges at us, so I'm aiming to be as effective in combat as possible. As it stands, my stats and feats are as follows:

Level 1 Human Ninja
ABILITIES
Str: 13
Dex: 20
Con: 15
Int: 15
Wis: 11
Cha: 17

Feats: Weapon Finesse, Two-Weapon Fighting
Weapons:
- Masterwork Wakizashi (x2)
- Shurikens (Bloodroot)
- Blowgun (Blue Whinnis)
- Kunai (x12)

Armor: Leather

My skill points have been invested in Acrobatics, Climb, Disable Device, Disguise, Escape Artist, Knowledge (Local and Nobility), Perception, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth.

SO, to get to my long-belabored point, I want this character to essentially be the one to sneak in, drop in on his opponents, and cripple them before the party even steps into the room. As such, I've planned his progression out, but I'm running into a few road blocks. Any advice on what I'm missing and how I can better utilize my character would be greatly appreciated.

* - Favored Class Bonus Talent / Trick

A few clarifications:
My DM ruled that the Feat "Extra Rogue Talent" also applies to Ninja Tricks, and that after level 10, it applies to Advanced Rogue Talents and Master Ninja Tricks.

I know that both Vanishing Trick and Invisible Blade (arguably the best two tricks in the Ninja's arsenal) are missing, and that's not a mistake. My character was given a cloak that allows him four rounds of invisibility 3/day, and that will get better bonuses as he levels (we were all given such items, each specifically tailored to our characters' needs). As such, I felt that VT and IB were a bit redundant.

And yes, I am aware that Forgotten Trick is taxing if used as your sole link to most ki-cost Ninja Tricks, but I'm hoping to build my Ki Pool with magical items in order to compensate.

So, any advice, criticisms, and feedback in General would be wonderfully appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my first post, and I hope to hear from you all soon! ^_^
