NINJA
=====

Ninjas are disciplined martial adepts: fast, quiet, precise, and at
their best when they choose the moment of violence instead of stumbling
into it.

They lean toward physical skill, dexterity, stealth and specialised
combat techniques rather than heavy armour or formal spellcasting. A
Ninja is not just "a Fighter with black clothes"; the class rewards
preparation, movement and control.

Their primary weapon discipline is polearm. Spears, long practice
weapons, bo-like fighting staves and similar reach weapons fit the class
best. A short staff or club may be a blunt weapon, but that is not the
main Ninja weapon path.

Typical strengths:

  - Dexterity, stealth and precision
  - Specialist combat techniques
  - Ambush, preparation and survival
  - Physical discipline over brute force
  - Mastery of polearms, with projectiles close behind

Weapon proficiencies:

  polearm      primary
  projectile   excellent
  blunt        useful secondary
  blade        limited
  knife        limited
  two handed   poor

Good for players who want a sharp, focused, martial class with a more
secretive style than the Fighter.
