Ninja Trick - Forgotten Trick


Rules Questions

What action is it to use the Forgotten Trick Ninja Trick? Is it a swift action, like the base uses for the Ki Pool?

Can the Forgotten Trick trick be used multiple times? Or can it only be activated one at a time?
For example, could -- Ki Pool permitting -- a Ninja (with 5 ranks in Acrobatics & Perform/Dance) use Forgotten Trick for Unarmed Combat Training (to gain Improved Unarmed Strike), use Forgotten Trick the next round for Style Master (to gain Janni Style), then use Forgotten Trick the next round for Combat Trick (to gain Janni Tempest)?


The most obvious problem to me with this specific plan is that the forgotten trick allows the ninja to 'select one trick ... that she does not know' and the rules for ninja trick say "Unless otherwise noted, a ninja cannot select an individual ninja trick more than once."

So using either the interpretation that once she selects combat trick, she knows it and thus can't select it again, or the interpretation that you can't select a trick more than once, no stacking tricks.

But in general nothing says you can't have multiple forgotten tricks running at once.


I am aware, which is why I'm not using Combat Trick twice, I'm using Style Master and Combat Trick for those feats.


Ah. Missed it. Should work then, if you're willing to spend the rounds prepping it.
