Better Unchained Ninja Homebrew


Homebrew and House Rules


2 people marked this as a favorite.

I've seen several unchained ninja homebrews in many PF forums, many simply taking notes from the unchained rogue without adding more or less of what makes a ninja stand out from the rogue.

This is hopefuly my final version of the Unchained Ninja. (Now as a pdf version!) I thank everyone for the criticism and feedback you have shared while working on this homebrew class.

What separates this from the UC rogue and other UC ninja homebrews are several new additions:

1. Ninja Clans - A new class feature. It allows ninjas to be affiliated with a clan, granting them new Ki Powers, Class Skills, Ki Masteries and their own clan trick at the cost of imposed restrictions. This makes ninjas more diverse in how they're made, lending inspiration from historical and mythical ninja clans.

2. Ninjutsu Training - Replacing the old ninja's No Trace class feature, Ninjutsu Training lets a ninja select two class skills to specialize based on their chosen clans, letting them specialize further into their role.

3. Improved Light Steps - The old ninja's light steps class feature was good, but not great. I simply included new things which grants the UC ninja more mobility, without being broken.

4. New Ninja Tricks and Archetypes - I tossed in several new ninja tricks and archetypes to further expand the ninja's versatility in a given role.

I have also taken extra effort to make sure that the UC ninja is compatible with the original ninja class, including most of its archetypes.

Feedback is highly appreciated!

Terribly sorry, here's the link for the homebrew:

The Hattori Clan restrictions in confusing to me; is it a typo? the way it reads you start with a wear restriction and it gets worse as you level? That feels wrong.
