Raphayl! I'd like your responce to this!

bumpayyy!

dual wielding smaller weapons, knives as an example, or dual wielding a one-handed sword and a smaller one-handed sword or knife as an off weapon with an accuracy penalty. I'd think the skills would be somewhat like this:
Prerequisites: Unarmed IV/One-handed IV and Master Scout
I choose those because a hybrid profession such as this would be based off of stealth/small weaponry.
The Master Scout requirement would give us the necesary Terrain Negotiation/Traps/Survival skills.. not sure about hunting though, and One-handed IV/Unarmed IV is a given as a prerequisite.

The first skill tree could be based off of defensive techniques, such skills involved in this tree would be Advanced Traps usable on Humanoid Species and Ranged/Melee Defense skill mods.

A second skill tree could be the aforementioned Meditation line like in TKA.

Third skill tree could be the weapon specialty, giving speed to a specific weapon, or a dual wielding skill line.

The fourth skill tree would go off combat Exp like so many others, this would be on accuracy for dual wielding, and the first and third boxes would have the "Throw Weapon" ability, and the other two boxes with accuracy mods. The throw weapon ability would be like the pistol whip like attack from the pistoleer tree, except you'd have to have like.. a crate of daggers/throwing stars/throwing knives to use.. or.. the devs could make bracers that are only available through a tough quest, the bracers would have storage for five throwable weapons each and each time you use the throw weapon ability it would remove one from the bracer..

Just my silly little ideas...

Oh, and I'd personally like to call this an "Assassin" profession!

Here are my thoughts of it, somewhat based off of Ixata's

lets just call the profession Ninja for the mean time

Prerequisites: Unarmed 4, 1 handed 4, and Trapping 4.

For novice, you would need combat XP.

at novice this would give the ability to dual wield weapons.

Skill Tree:

x/0/0/0 is acrobatics, this would provide dodge, melee defense, ranged defense, and mitigation. This would require 1 handed XP to get. Title earned would be Acrobat.

0/x/0/0 is fighting style, this would provide extra center of being and would have 3 attacks through out the line. The attacks I were thinking would be (these are ideas for names) Blast Kick, this would do a high damage attack with your foot to the enemy's body pool, and have a chance to knockdown the opponent (unarmed or 1 handed, its only with your foot). Multi-Hit, which would be like the scatter hit or unarmed combo (1 hand). and Fury of blows, a area action/dizzy hit (1 hand). You would need unarmed xp to do this row. Title earned would be Expert Ninja.

0/0/x/0 is thrown weapons, you would get like throwing knifes, quick throwing weapons which are somewhat like grenades (except not to a area). You would need trapping XP to do this row. Title earned would be Hidden Dagger.

0/0/0/x is dual wielding, this would allow you to use 1 hand weapons. At novice ninja you get -50 accuracy and -25 speed for dual wielding, at x/x/x/1, you would get only get -40 accuracy, and -20 speed, accuracy would keep going up by 10, and speed going up by 5 untill you hit master and you get no penalty for dual wielding. at x/x/x/3 dual wielding, you would get the ability to use specials while dual wielding. Title earned would be Whirlwind.

Master Ninja, you would get a special attack (Headlock, a mind damaging attack like eye shot w/o a blind, but this would posture down), Poison Darts (Would be made by the Master Ninja, and this will apply a small poison, with a max effectiveness of 50, and the pool of the dart would be random, and the poison would not stack) and of course, the title Master Ninja.

This shouldn't be a dabble profession, something like all or nothing. Well, there's my thoughts

I... ****ing... love... you... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!11one!!1!one!1elevindy!!1!1!1one.... z0r..


Wee, great ideas.. and.. and.. for the poison dart.. would we shoot it out with a dart tube thingie where we blow in the tube and it shoots out? Or would we go James bond style with the wrist shooter? Or Jango Fett/Mandalorian style with wrist gauntlets especially for that? xD

Ahem.. I believe we are using ninja as a reference name.. so don't start calling it stupid because of it's reference name. O.o

I was thinking just throw the dart.

And I dont give a s#$t if ninja's use katanas, or if katana is a 1 hand or 2 hand weapon, ninja is just a idea for a name, knowing the devs if they would make this profession they would call it something like (insert name that has almost nothing to do with the profession, example: fencer )

I wouldn't use a katana if I were a ninja.
