Well the topic in the spell advancement shit in Nakachi kinda got threadjacked a bit when the mention of ninja's spawnd my post. So basically I'm just moving the topic to it's own spot.

Speaking of ninjas I feel they're slightly lacking. Ninja's have nothing better then your average rogue weapon advantage skills like uncanny attack, sidestep and clobber. How about since they almost seem like a hybrid class of warrior/rogue, giving them some combat style advantage techniques to use as well, giving them versatility between using weapon advantage techniques, or combat style techniques.
Obviously the warrior combat techniques wouldn't be suited for the ninja's style, but I'm sure some combat techniques with a little flair could be jimmied up.

That's what I posted. Then Grayden posted:

I think the spell system is fine, and weapon ward works great, but seeing as how you mentioned the Ninjas.... Maybe give them weapon knowledge mastery, so like a weapon ward for ninjas. This would keep them from being hobbled, charged, and out of weapon disadvantage. I think that would be a good enough boost for Ninjas.

p.s. I think the duration for focusing your weapon knowledge should be a tick longer then weapon ward.

| I was on IRC and Rayor came up with a good idea about nunchakus as well for ninjas. Making them an exotic weapon instead of flail so then ninjas would want to use them more often to do uncanny attacks, like rangers using their created bows to do their skills. |

| link moves? haha. naw I think it'd just make more sense that nunchakus would be like exotic weapons so then they can use them for uncanny attacks, plus... what other mobs have nunchakus? None that I know of.... so that'd make those pretty exotic if you ask me. |

ok so no ninja weapon ward, but give the ninja bows for gods sakes. I mean give them bows or change the picture. False advertisement is bad.

Nunchaku uncanny = Sure, why not
Ninja weapon ward = yeah right. just get better at the game. ninjas can be scary.
Ninja bow = hellll no. blindness dust + bow would be all kinds of broken. |

| yeah. ninja bow would be homo. ninja weapon ward also homo. Ninja nunchaku is exotic = uncanny attack. Sounds about logical. |

I do not think ninjas having the bow skill available would change alot in the game, but it just seems funny that the picture for the ninja class shows a ninja drawing a bow back.

| haha yeah. maybe they should get like a blowgun or something with darts that do different effects. a really good one would be like a dart that makes the enemy all fucked with misdirection because they're all dopey from the toxin |

Male ninja: craft nunchukas/flail skill. Easy to make a dual wielded flail setup for great offense power. Needs to find good exotics for uncanny.
Female ninja: craft fans/ whip skill. Easy to make a nice exotic for uncanny. Needs to find two good whips to match the offense of nunchuks.
Solution is there already - just play a chick ninja for the slightly different skill setup. We don't want male/female ninjas to be exactly alike. As ninjas are developed you should see them growing further distinct, with one gender more naturally suited to those weapon skills, and the other to the ninja magic. I have no desire to undo the groundwork we've done quite conciously. |
