Introduction
What is a ninja? Everywhere you turn, you find a different definition, especially in
the movies. Is the ninja a cruel supernatural assassin with godlike powers of invisibility,
illusion, and teleportation? A modern, feeling Oriental man with family, job
responsibilities, and an interesting double life? A stone-faced westerner who
miraculously inherits the duties of an ancient ninja clan tradition when his adopted
brother is slain? A martial arts practitioner celebrating hundreds of years of unbroken
tradition?
In the AD&D® game, the ninja is a highly trained spy who is expert in matters of
intrusion, sabotage, and elimination. He is part of a tight-knit clan whose profession and
goals he shares. Some ninja are generalists, equally at home in matters of stealth and
combat. Some are specialists, becoming adept at social skills, magic, or interaction with
nature.
They're all exotic, secretive, and dangerous—just the thing for the player who's tired
of stand-up fighters, clean-cut clerics, and nearsighted scholar-mages.
Ninja have been here before, in the pages of DRAGON® Magazine and the
Oriental
Adventures
supplement. Now they return, slinking into the game's shadows in their night-
suits, learning the balance of weapons and tools made a little unfamiliar by adaptation to
AD&D® 2nd Edition rules. We've missed them, and it's high time to welcome them
back.
The Complete Ninja's Handbook
is a supplement to the
Player's Handbook.
It
consists of optional rules that are intended to round out and add color to a campaign.
The key word here is "optional." No DM is required to introduce any of these rules
into his campaign simply because they're in print. Likewise, any DM should feel
perfectly at ease plundering these guidelines for rules and options he likes, whether or not
he introduces ninja characters into the campaign. Ultimately, the DM, not this rulebook,
is the final authority on what appears in the campaign.
Arrangement of the Sourcebook
Chapter 1: The Ninja Class provides character class information for the ninja.
Chapter 2: Ninja Kits details kits that allow you to further customize ninja characters.
Chapter 3: Shinobi, Spies, and Killers introduces kits to create shinobi (adjunct
members of ninja clans), spies (characters built with the ninja rules but employed by non-
Oriental organizations, and killers (NPCs built with the rules of the ninja class).
Chapter 4: Proficiencies and Martial Arts details the roles of certain proficiencies
used by ninja, adds new proficiencies, and expands on martial arts and weapon
proficiency rules.
Chapter 5: Tools of the Trade describes weapons and armor available to the ninja
character.
Chapter 6: Country and Clan discusses the role of the ninja character within his
culture.
Chapter 7: Playing the Ninja provides information and tactics for the player who
