Class Information
Silent footwork, hidden tools and shadow disciplines from fieldcraft to legend.
Ninjas are strongly SP-biased, but no longer one-note attackers. Rolls, kicks and throws sit beside silent movement, caltrops, blinding powder and grappling control, while kuji and kawarimi give the class a deliberate mystical summit.
Choose Ninja if you want stamina-led combat built around timing and control rather than standing toe-to-toe. You will spoil footing and vision, move quietly, bind targets, and eventually turn faith and shadow into genuine escape arts.
Trainable class skills from the live mudlib. Start is the class starting level; Max is the long-term class cap.
