Ok, so I'm going to try out my first ninja ever. I want to NOT go the ooooh duel weild the same weapon as every other freakin ninja route, without sacrificing my combat prowess too much.
What I know so far:
Race: Kitsune
Archtype: Scout + Kitsune Trickster?
Note: Going to ask dm if I can take Kitsune's Guile and have it replace ninja's poison at first lvl rather than a rogue's trapfinding (which I won't have as a ninja)
Going Dex build then cha and haven't rolled stats yet.
(I will be the face and will be utilizing diplomacy/bluff/disguises quite a bit)
Kitsune Feats of Interest: *'s = Highly Prefered
-*Realistic Likeness* (will be disguising as/impersonating ppl)
-*Magical Tail*: Disguise Self, charm person, invisibility (will try to convince DM to allow me to be selective rather than have to learn them all)
Feats of Interest:
-Dodge
-Improved Initiative
-Extra ki
-Iron Will
-Point blank shot
-Rapid Shot
-Weapon Finesse & Focus
-Combat Reflexes
-Agile Manuevers (if using the kusarigama)
-*Quickdraw*
Ninja Tricks of interest:
-Combat Trick
-Flurry of Stars
-Shadow Clone
-Weapon Training
-Rogue Talent: Offensive Defence, False Friend
-Vanishing Trick
Master Tricks of Interest:
-*Invisible Blade*
-Feat
-Advanced Talents
--crippling strike
--*opportunist*
-Assassinate
-Ghost Step
-Evasion
Weapon Idea: Shuriken/Kusarigama? (note, I will have another ninja in the party to flank with constantly) Not sure about other member(s) classes. Not sure if this is a viable combo.
Ok, now that things that sound fun for me are out on the plate, please organize my dreams into something realistic! Keep in mind I'm constantly flanking with another ninja, intend to do a lot of disguise/info gathering/potential assassinations/political bs etc ;)
