Nei Jing* (Su): The ninja has mastered the art of internal power (nei jing), and can use it to deliver attacks without appearing to apply force, by using the nei jing to create harmful harmonic vibrations within the target. When the ninja makes an unarmed attack, she may make a Sleight of Hand check (opposed by observers’ Perception checks) to make the attack appear to be no more than a casual touch. The target of a nei jing attack gains a +5 bonus to this Perception check.
Rather than dealing damage immediately, the unarmed attack deals one die of its damage each round (any bonus to the damage is added to the last die of damage dealt). If the ninja delivers a nei jing attack as a sneak attack, the sneak attack dice are dealt before unarmed damage, at a rate of 1 die per round. A ninja may end an ongoing nei jing attack she initiated with a touch as a standard action.
The cause of the damage dealt by a nei jing attack is not immediately obvious. A Heal check can reveal the attack as an imbalance of the target’s internal harmonics (DC 10+level of attacking ninja +maximum value of the ninja’s ki pool). Only characters with a ki pool can attempt to stop on ongoing nei jing attack with a Heal check, which has a DC 10 higher than detecting the attack and requires the healer to expend one ki point.
A ninja must take the Improved Unarmed Strike feat before she can take this trick. A ninja must have at least 1 ki point left to use this trick.
Innocuous Armaments (Su):
The ninja may
use non-weapon objects to make a attacks as if
they were light, 1-handed, or thrown exotic,martial, or simple weapons with which she
are proficient.For example, you may use this
trick to treat ale mugs as maces, silk scarves as katanas, or playing cards as shuriken This does not change the object’s hardness or hp A ninja must have at least 1 ki point to use this trick.
Playing a sneaky, talkative ninja that's adapting and fitting (disguise) in with a wild west type setting. So far my best ideas were (for Nei Jing) torture and walking into a place, brushing past everyone, and having them all drop in pain like I was the reaper. For the Innocuous Armaments I was thinking of holding a deck of cards, letting them slide forward and harden into a wakizashi, or showing someone a trick with paper, folding it into a knife and stabbing their hand, nailed it to the table. Paper-mancy! I love random.
Lemme know whatcha think!
