Editing Ninja (section)

===[[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition|3rd Edition]]===
[[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] made the ninja a shitty [[rogue]].  Intended as a rogue/[[monk]] mix, but unlike Pathfinder they get much fewer skills than the rogue, no armor, and can't do rogue backstabbery unless invisible.  They also can't use their [[weeaboo]] powers for shit because all of them draw from a super tiny ''ki pool'' and last only one round.  The only one they get early enough to be worthwhile is invisibility which they need to (and can't) spam like crazy because, as said before, they get a shittier version of Sneak Attack that only works when invisible.  So basically, they're rogues that [[FAIL|can't skillmonkey OR backstab as well as rogues and get pretty much nothing in return.]]

[[Eberron]] has no Japan analog, or at least not one that hasn't been conquered by the Quori. Here Ninja are instead a creation of [[Elf|Elves]] with the Mark of Shadow. Note that Samurai, by contrast, are a [[Dwarf]] tradition.
