Well, sorry for having insulted you, but we do get a lot of
people who pop in here and are basically asking for a
majority approval of their ultra-powerful core class. You

Please define the flavour, then. Because there's no
consensus on what a ninja *is*.
Most people in here associate the concept with buttkicking
unarmed combatants from stupid Hong Kong action movies. I'm
much more into the actual historical ninja, the
infiltrator/assassin/spy.
Where are you?

I like the idea of a non-Evil Assassin. Preferably as a core
class, rather than a prestige class.
