Skulking Slayer should be easily adaptable to Ninja.

Well the Ninja class does not possess the trap based rogue features that The Skulking Slayer replaces.

Mother of God ...

Sadly going two-handed with a light weapon wouldn't get you anything so you wouldn't have that option, but you're not focusing on strength anyway so you might have a 12 or something in it, giving no benefit to two handing anyway.

Well to be honest I planned to put more into Str than Dex. I enjoy hitting hard and I'm a huge advocate of Intimidating Prowess. Plus I think a beefier ninja is more interesting to play than a stock Dex based one.

I just imagine breaking invisibility right behind my opponent and cleaving him in twain, while simultaneously causing any of his companions to uncontrollably turn scarlet and soil themselves.

Oh and random question; Is there any feat that allows you to use Dex for Feinting instead of Cha? Just curious.

You could use a katana for basically the same damage as Falchion with option to use in one hand should the need arise, like for throwing shuriken..

Is there a penalty for throwing a weapon from your off hand?

Okay that works. Then I am better off going ninja with a two hander. But I'm curious if that is just not a good decision. I will probably be using a falchion primarily with some throwing daggers for range.

My friend is starting a new campaign and I was interested in trying to recreate the Ghost Faced Killer. It was one of those prestige classes in 3.5 that took my imagination by storm, but alas never got the chance to play it. Now I have my chance and I want to be able to be a Ghost Faced Killer in both fluff and combat ability. The fluff is easy ... Finding the most efficient way to create the GFK is another story. Hence this post;

I have two ideas ...

Uno ... The Ninja alt class is the most logical path. With the disappearing trick, ghost step and even the ki pool ... It just seems like the right fit. What troubles me is that I cannot apply the skulking slayer archetype which I want mainly because of the d8's for sneak attack and such. Which brings me to ...

Dos ... make a skulking slayer/scout rogue and take the ninja tricks as rogue talents. Sadly to make full use of this I would need to burn a rogue talent just to pick up Ki Pool, which is not even close to the usage of the Ninjas Ki Pool.

So this is my dilemma, and I was wondering if anybody could help me decide or even offer a better way to recreate the Ghost Faced Killer.
