Here's an archetype I put together for the ninja, which gives it some monk abilities at the cost of sneak attack, plus a few other changes.
Shadow Fist Ninja
A shadow fist ninja does not wait, idle, for the right moment to strike; she brings the fight to her targets, assailing them with a hail of deadly blows.
Monastic Training
A shadow fist ninja gains the AC bonus, flurry of blows, and unarmed strike class features of a monk of the same level.
This ability replaces sneak attack.
Battle Sage
A shadow fist ninja can spend a ki point from her ki pool for an extra attack only while executing a flurry of blows. She gains the option to spend a ki point as a swift action to gain a +4 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round. At level 4, a shadow fist ninja with at least 1 point in her ki pool can treat her unarmed attacks as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. She does not gain any further ki strike abilities.
A shadow fist ninja uses Wisdom, rather than Charisma, to determine the size of her ki pool and the effects of or saves against ninja tricks.
This alters, but does not replace, the ki pool and ninja trick abilities.
Fast Movement
At level 3, a shadow fist ninja gains the fast movement class feature of a monk of the same level.
This ability replaces no trace.
Ki Power
Beginning at 4th level, a shadow fist ninja may select a qinggong monk ki power in place of a ninja trick.
Does this look good? Anything I'm missing? Have I screwed up somewhere? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
