E6 Advice: Multiclassing with Ninja?


Advice


I'm playing in an E6 game, and we just reached level 4.

I'm a Ninja so far, TWF with daggers. Now sticking to Ninja for the last 3 levels will work easily enough, I know that.

Yet I'm wondering if there aren't any great multiclass options I might give up on.

The world itself is extremely low magic. There are almost no magic items, and magic classes are almost as rare, but not unheard of, so they're all possible for PCs. Only class not available is the gunslinger.

Stat array is: 10/16/12/14/10/16

The role I have in the group is that of face/diplomat/dirty sneaky thief and also some damage in combat, though the Barbarian does a far better job at that then me.
Whatever I multiclass in should if possible help those roles

Funny enough one of the classes I'm looking at is the Sorcerer, but then again I think it's quite silly.

As there are only 3 levels left (E6, remember?), I wouldn't want to multiclass more than 1 or 2 levels. 3 possible but only if the option is really great.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

3 lvls of weapon master fighter will give you full bab, bonus feats and weapon training. You will also take martial weapon proficiency for kukris with 18-20/x2 stats. You will become better martial at the expence of your skill-monkey abilities.


Ok, that is one posibility, but loosing pretty much all my skills for 3 levels is too hefty a price to pay in my opinion for what I get in return.

Bonus feats are nice, but one thing about E6 is that feats are something we'll eventually not lack, as we keep getting more of them after we reach level 6. So while they're nice, the "higher" we get the less useful they are.

Thanks for the idea, but not really what i'm looking for.
I admit, I might end up with straight Ninja, but I'd rather check for alternatives now, than be sad for having missed one later.


If you dont want to go fighter then go ranger. You get Full BAB and 6 skills ranks.

Lantern Lodge

+1 fighter. You have 14 Int so skills should not be a problem. You will have four ranks to invest so Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Stealth. If you're human one more. Plus, unless you picked up the trait Armor Expert, you'll have medium armor prof. and can slap on a mithril breastplate. The two extra feats free up two feats slots due to level so you can nab extra ki.

For an e6 game that's low magic, I'd recommend Arcane Trickster 1 for Ranged Legerdemain and picking up the Cutpurse Archetype (I believe Ninja can dip that). With that combo you can steal anytime you use sneak attack (from range too), and use sleight of hand / disable device at 30ft. You can drop poisons on people, bombs, traps etc, steal weapons, money, holy symbols etc. A lot of options open up. If you're a Teifling or Aasimar, you can ignore taking a caster level for the 2nd level spells and as a rogue you can take a 0 level spell 1/day to meet the other trickster req.
