In a game I'm in now, I'm playing a 13th level god wizard, and my friend is playing a 13th level halfling ninja. He's very good at sneak attacking with shuriken and being the party face, but recently he's been pretty useless in combat against undead and elementals.
Are there any spells I could cast that would give him something useful to do in these situations? He's got 5 str and no weapon finesse, so I can't think of a useful polymorph form...
Well for one thing, remind him that sneak attack works against undead in Pathfinder, if that is why he has been useless against them.
Transmute ninja to wizard?

Ah, sorry - he was useful against undead, but not elementals (the majority of what we've been fighting recently), oozes, etc. Anyway, there are a couple fights where he's had to sit back and twiddle his thumbs.
I should check if he has ranks in use magic device - maybe I could lend him my lvl 9 wand of magic missile...
His strength is at 5 and he has no weapon finesse?
So let me get this straight- he dumped his strength to 7, applied the -2 racial modifier, and then kept strength as his primary attack stat.
And he's USEFUL in battle...
Does he use a bow or something?
Against Elementals? I think he'll have to resign himself to it being a fight his class was not designed for; no poison, no sneak attack... How to be effective against them? I really couldn't say. Might be reduced to meat-shielding the wizard.
Oh. You're right. I missed it.
My only thought is to have him buy a few wands. Perhaps work out a strategy where the ninja can act as a buffer for those battles while the other casters switch to a more offensive role.
