Rogue / Assassin Ninja Trick

[GamelordAlec]

Greetings. Here is the thing, I am making a level 8 character with four levels of rogue and then four levels of Assassin. With one rogue talent it gives me the option to get Ninja Trick, which then I would like to take Hidden Weapons. It says that I add my ninja level to sleight of hand roles to conceal weapons, however this wold be pointless as a rogue so would I then use my rogue level instead? It doesn't say either way. It does grant the ability to draw hidden weapons as a move action instead of a standard but I am still wondering if I get to add rogue level instead of Ninja.

Thanks in advance!

You need 5 ranks of Stealth to qualify for Assassin, so that's CL6 at the earliest.

Where does the rogue talent that says you can take a ninja trick come from? -edit3- aha: UC: Ninja Trick (Ex): A rogue with this talent can choose a trick from the ninja trick list. The rogue can choose but cannot use talents that require ki points, unless she has a ki pool. A rogue can pick this talent more than once.

I guess I don't see anything saying you can use your rogue level as ninja level, so that kind of limits your choices for a ninja trick. Your DM might rule otherwise, especially for something like sleight of hand.

I would talk to your GM, as they are alternate classes of each other, I do not see the problem of subbing out "ninja" for "rogue" when it comes to levels, however I don't see anything written about it.

Alright thanks for the help, so yes I guess I will have to do level 5 rogue and assassin 3 then to fit the requirements, but that's not to big of a deal at the moment. Sure I don't get true death but soon enough... As for the ninja rogue ordeal my GM is pretty cool so he's allowing my rogue level to count as ninja level. (Y)
