Sneaking

Sneaking around and beating things up is what ninjas do best. Having stealth, picklocks and traps will make you a desired companion in any party. Stealth helps out a lot for getting places and retrieving gear (ninjas are fairly weak without a weapon) and of course it allows for backstabbing, which is very useful at lower levels. Anyway, elf is the champ with killer intellect, charm, and good agility. Granted, agility is the paramount stat for a ninja, but having adequate charm and intellect to back that is crucial. Elf has the best mix of these, with dark-elf as an acceptable alternative. However, dark-elves, the higher chart of the pair, do not max stats until level 62, while elves do at 56, they're more expensive. Of course, dark-elves do have a pointless accuracy bonus (may be useful in the future) and half a percent bonus on crits. Nekojins follow suit behind the elves with a trump agility but loser intellect and weaker charm, tracking isn't a bonus here. Halfings are a different style of ninja, the 150 agility will almost offset the lack of intellect or charm, but their loser strength will prevent you from wielding stronger weapons efficiently. Crit enough, however, and that won't matter.

  • Races: Dark-elf, Nekojin, Elf, Goblin, Halfling

Non-Sneaking

Right, sacrificing stealth can do two things. Your EXP chart will drop significantly no matter which race you choose. Half-elves and humans both retain tolerable mixes of agil/int/charm which are the backbone of a traditional ninja. Essentially then, you're putting off sneaking until level 27. The other route to go with a non-sneaker is to abandon both dodge and crits in favor of max damage and thick hit points. Half-ogre is the extreme in this case, and a player I respect quite a bit has an effective higher-end one running around. Yes, it's goofy, that much is obvious. Dwarf is a more conservative choice in the same manner, having extra MR is rather nice because wisdom is going to be a low stat for any ninja. I will mention kang also, which is a weaker dwarf except for the poison immunity and extra AC that will come in handy.[1]

  • Races: Human, Dwarf, Gnome, Half-elf, Half-Orc, Half-Ogre, Kang, and Gaunt One

Leveling

Stat Progression

Name: Knightmare OnRealmStreet Lives/CP: 8/0
Race: Dark-Elf Exp: 354256273 Perception: 86
Class: Ninja Level: 45 Stealth: 151
Hits: 428/428 Armour Class: 32/2 Thievery: 0
Traps: 177
Picklocks: 148
Strength: 90 Agility: 120 Tracking: 0
Intellect: 100 Health: 90 Martial Arts: 78
Willpower: 30 Charm: 90 MagicRes: 47

Stats that should be MAX at EXP cap are Agility, Charm, Health. Intellect doesn't have to be. Lots of people dump the CPs for the last 5 points of Intellect into wisdom so their Magic Resist (MR) isn't horrid. I always MAX Strength (ninjas are a combat class, you know) but that's not a necessity. In other words: You're basing everything off agility. Keep it 20 higher (at least) than the Charm/Int combo, and raise those two evenly by 10, always Charm first (it's a better stat than Intellect). Health and Strength are raise as needed stats, they both are dependent on your weapon selection, encumbrance issues, and how much un-dodgable damage is coming your way. Wisdom is much the same.

Stats that should be MAX at EXP cap are Agility, Charm, Strength, Health. Again the same principle concerning Intellect. In other words: build this character the same as a sneaker, in the early levels, but take advantage of the cheap CP boosts in Health and Strength. Once your dodge stats are MAX, then it's Health and Strength to the MAX. These stats are much more important now than in a sneaking ninja. Put points into Wisdom as needed again. You'll end up with something akin to a warrior, that crits more, maybe.
