Weapon and armor Proficiency: All simple weapons plus the hand crossbow, kama, kukri, nunhaku, sai, shortbow, short sword, shuriken, and siangham. No armors or shields.

AC Bonus: When unarmored a Ninja adds their Wisdom bonus (if any) to their armor class. Also, at every 5th level an additional 1 is added to their armor class. These bonuses apply even when flat-footed yet not when immobilized or helpless.

Ki power: A ninja has the ability to channel his/her ki to manifest special powers of stealth and mobility. They have uses equal to half their class level (min 1) plus their Wisdom bonus (if any). They can only be used when unarmored. So long as the Ki pool isn't empty, at least one use remaining, the ninja gets +2 to will saves. The ki powers are ghost step, ki dodge, ghost strike, greater ki dodge, and ghost walk.

Sudden Strike: If a ninja can catch an opponent flat-footed he/she can deal extra damage based on his/her amount of sudden strike dice. It cannot be used when flanking unless the target is also flat-footed. It can be done from up to 30 feet away. Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to Sudden Strike. It cannot be used at all to deal nonlethal damage.

Trapfinding: Like a Rogue, Ninjas can use the search skill to find traps with a DC higher than 20. They can also use Disable Device to bypass mundane traps or disarm magical traps. See the rogue feature for more detail.

Ghost Step: Starting at 2nd level a ninja can spend a daily use of ki power to become invisible for a round. Using this is a swift action that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. At 10th level the ninja instead becomes Ethereal.

Poison use: A ninja no longer risks poisoning him/herself when applying poison to a weapon upon attaining 3rd level. At 9th level it becomes a move action to apply poison.

Great leap: At 4th level and higher, a Ninja makes all jump checks as if running and as if he/she had the Run feat, allowing long jumps without a running start and granting a +4 to the check. It only applies if the ninja is unarmored.

Acrobatics: At every 6th level (6, 12, 18, etc.) a ninja gains a +2 bonus to climb, jump, and tumble checks. each individual bonus stacks with the previous ones.

Ki dodge: At 6th level and higher, a ninja gains the ability to give all attacks toward him/her to have a 20% chance to miss for a round due to concealment. See invisibility has no effect on it, but true seeing negates the miss chance. At 18th level it improves to 50% (total concealment)

Speed climb: At 7th level a ninja gains the ability to scramble up or down walls and slopes with great speed. The ninja can climb at his/her speed as a move action with no penalty, although he/she must start and end the round on a flat surface. If the ninja doesn't, he/she falls and takes the appropriate falling damage. Only one free hand is needed for this ability but the ninja must not have armor on.

Ghost Strike: Upon attaining 8th level a ninja may spend a daily use of his/her ki power to treat his/her weapon as Ghost Touch for one attack.

Evasion: Starting at 12th level, a ninja may avoid all damage from certain types of attacks with a successful reflex save. A ninja can only use this ability when wearing no armor.

Ghost Mind: Starting at 14th level, a ninja gains spell resistance specifically against the scrying subschool of spells. To detect or see a ninja with such a spell must make a caster level check with a DC of 20+ the ninja's class level. For spells that are scanning the area without targeting the ninja directly, a failed check means the ninja just isn't seen. Attempts of those that target the ninja directly fail completely if the check fails.

Ghost sight: At 16th level and up a ninja can see invisible and ethereal creatures as if they were not so.

Ghost walk: At 20th level the ninja gains the ability to use 2 uses of his/her ki power to cast ethereal jaunt at a caster level of the ninja's class levels.
