Ninja Spy enhancements[edit]

Core abilities[edit]

Basic Ninja Training: While you are centered, you can use your Dexterity modifier to hit. You are proficient with short swords and treat them as Ki weapons. If another ability allows you to remain centered while wielding other types of melee weapon, then those weapons will also get the benefit of Ninja Training.
AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 0	Requires: Monk Level 1
Advanced Ninja Training: While you are centered, you can use your Dexterity modifier for damage. You also gain a chance based on your Dexterity score to throw an extra shuriken per attack. The extra shuriken throw from Advanced Ninja Training is a single extra attack and is not affected by doubleshot. If another ability allows you to remain centered while wielding other types of melee weapon (including unarmed/handwraps), then those weapons will also get the benefit of Advanced Ninja Training.
AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 5	Requires: Monk Level 3, Basic Ninja Training
Shadow Veil: Ki Activate: You focus your Ki and draw shadows around you. You become invisible and 25% incorporeal for one minute. Actions that break invisibility do not remove the incorporeality portion of this effect. (Activation Cost: 15 Ki. Cooldown: 6 seconds). Note: Becoming uncentered for any reason immediately removes both components of the buff.
AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 10	Requires: Monk Level 6, Advanced Ninja Training
Poisoned Darts: Ki Activate: You spit poisoned darts in a cone before you. Nearby enemies are affected by between 1 and 8 stacks of Ninja Poison. (Magical Poison: Target takes 1d4 points of Poison damage, which scales with melee power; every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. The Target's vulnerability to poison is increased by 5%. This ability can stack up to 20 times. On timer expiration, 5 stacks of Ninja Poison are removed at a time.) (Activation Cost: 15 Ki. Cooldown: 15 seconds)
AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 20	Requires: Monk Level 12, Shadow Veil
Diversion: Ki Activate: You turn yourself invisible and create a dummy that attracts the attention of nearby enemies. For the next 20 seconds, gain +5 Sneak Attack Dice. (Activation Cost: 50 Ki. Cooldown: 3 minutes)
AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 30	Requires: Monk Level 18, Poisoned Darts
Ninja Master: You gain +2 Dexterity and +2 Wisdom, +5 Sneak Attack Dice. While you are centered, you gain a +1 Competence bonus to your Critical Multiplier. Any weapon you wield while centered gains the Vorpal ability. If another ability allows you to remain centered while wielding other types of melee weapon, then those weapons will also gain these effects.
AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 40	Requires: Monk Level 20, Diversion
