| Running the Shadows |
I'm looking at building a character for future games, and I'm looking at a doing a few Tian Xia characters. I don't have many of the books, so it's hard to find information to flesh out the character (thank god for the wikis). Does anyone have any decent sources that are almost purely fluff?
Anyways, I'm working on a ninja (yes, I'm atypical and I will use the class itself). I'm building them at a generic 6th level (the level range I feel that characters really begin to be able to sling power in their given area and develop into truly unique entities) and 25 build points. So for concept, focusing on typical skill sets of DD, Perception, Stealth, and Acrobatics, I'm wanting to make sure the character is efficient in combat as well as having that ninja-y flair. Weapons wise, I'm thinking a wakizashi (even though in reality, the short sword itself was more accurate to a ninja-to) and the kusari-gama.
Does anyone have any suggestions as far as feat combinations? Right now, I've got TWF, Weapon Finesse, and a feat for extra Rogue talent (used for another Ninja trick), plus my human spare. For my tricks, I've got shadow clone, wall climber, and vanishing trick, plus my extra.
I'm thinking taking routes to go unarmed, but I know that is statistically as inefficient as it comes without being a monk. But Improved Unarmed Combat and a style feat I thought would add some unarmed flavor to him (especially if like the monkey stance, I don't have to be unarmed to get its benefit).
Suggestions, critiques?
