Overview

Ninjitsu is a standard power set that is a secondary set for Scrappers, Sentinels and Stalkers.

"Ninjitsu is the secret art of Ninja. Many Ninjitsu powers emphasize acute senses that allow you to react deftly to avoid danger. Others focus on the ability to hide in plain sight. Still others rely on the ancient art of Kuji Kiri, and the pure focus of the mind to accomplish the impossible."

Powers

Ninjitsu BlindingPowder.png Blinding Powder

You throw a handful of Blinding powder in a wide arc at your foes. Most foes will be blinded, and unable to see. Some affected targets may be overcome by the powder that they may start attacking their own allies. If you attack the blinded foes, they will be alerted to your presence, but will continue to suffer a penalty to their chance to hit.

Editor's Note:

The Sleep, Perception and To Hit debuffs are applied to any target the power hits on the initial to hit roll. On a successful hit, there is a subsequent 50% chance of the Confusion effect being applied.

This power is always on and costs no endurance.

Ninjitsu Hide.png Hide

Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden', a Stalker can pull off critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassin's Strike' with an Assassin's power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.
