Ninja Tricks

As a ninja continues her training, she learns a number of tricks that allow her to confuse her foes and grant her supernatural abilities. Starting at 2nd level, a ninja gains one ninja trick. She gains one additional ninja trick for every 2 levels attained after 2nd. Unless otherwise noted, a ninja cannot select an individual ninja trick more than once.

Tricks marked with an asterisk (*) add effects to a ninja’s sneak attack. Only one of these tricks can be applied to an individual attack and the decision must be made before the attack is made.

Talents marked with an (1) are tricks that were updated to work specifically with the unchained ninja; do not use the older version of these tricks intended for the original ninja. Talents marked with an (2) are unmodified tricks from the original ninja that also work “as is” with the unchained ninja.

At 10th level, and every two levels thereafter, a ninja can choose a master trick in place of a ninja trick.
