And a Yamabushi devil warrior.

I dunno. A samurai is basically a fighter with a code of honour. I reckon you can build a decent ninja from a rogue or fighter (‘realistic’ ninja) or monk (‘supernatural’ ninja), maybe a bit of multiclassing. Or do it as a rogue with a few variant class abilities.

Does the "All jokes aside" clause modify your second sentence, or just your first sentence? I'm getting a mixed message here.

What if the ninja is a sub-class for multiple classes - that could be cool. Different flavors of ninja for all tastes!

I don't think ninja is a sub-class of unfrozen unicorn lawyer though...

yamabushi are awesome.

Subclass ninjas cool too. That's how Rifts and OD&D did it iirc.

I'm betting the Oriental classes will all be new Archetypes, and this pleases me.

Mint chocolate-chip ninjas?

French Vanilla ninjas?
Cherry Garcia ninjas?

We're trying to keep this serious bidness here.

Yamabushi are actual things, and they are awesome.

[Heathansson]

serious. bidness.

[Patrick Curtin]

We need a Dread Pirate base class too then! *whine*

[Derek Vande Brake]

Supporting the motion for ninja and samurai (and other oriental flavored classes) to be archetypes or prestige classes. D&D 3.5 has over 70 base classes (to be fair, I count each psion discipline as a separate class) - do we really want that becoming a trend in Pathfinder, when the same effect can be gotten from existing mechanics?

Then again, I thought the Witch and Summoner should be Wizard archetypes, and the Cavalier a Fighter archetype.

We could have white ninja and green ninja and black ninja and yellow ninja and blue ninja and black ninja.
