Hi all,
I am a fairly inexperienced GM although I have been playing pathfinder for some time now. I have a player in my campaign (Council of Thieves AP) that is currently playing a dex/stealth based Paladin of Desna but wants to take levels of Ninja also. I don't have a copy of Ultimate Combat, so I might not be too familiar with this class but from what I have read it feels like the Ninja is a rogue, assassin (a prestige class no less) and monk combined without any restrictions on alignment.
I kind of feel like he is trying to take advantage of my limited knowledge and design the most mechanically powerful stealth based character imaginable without real regard for the character background. Can anyone see this combination of paladin and ninja working? Am I missing some obvious disadvantage of the Ninja class that balances it against all the advantages the class grants? I personally can't think of an example of a lawful good ninja?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice!
