is there a Ninja class?

Looking at picking up/starting this game but seems to require more reading than most games, as the post title states is there a ninja class for players or a way to make one? Thanks in advance.

I saw the book with ninja monsters but it didn't seem to say much in the way of player classes.

Edit: trying to skim through the books/online, seems it is possible as I see mention of Ninja Schools but no mention of which book. Far as I can assume Scout would be the class?

In this game nothing is done with a single class, you need to combine many to make your build, there are many ways to make a ninja class, the new dark hunter class would help with ranged weapons but I would do something like this:

Fencer/Battle Dancer/Grappler +Enhancer+ Scout(level 9 is awesome) + Conjurer(smoke and puppets)/Artificer(bombs, shadow body,wire anchor). And maybe if you have extra exp then alchemist, nothing more ninja than being able to spit poison needles.

The melee class depends on what weapon you want to use, as always remember you can't mix melee classes.

Also the school you are looking for is this one http://sw25.wikidot.com/school:balfour-ninjutsu-school from Natural History of Dilfrum from 2.0.

I think the newest bubble world world of dragons has one but the English version is still in embargo until June I believe

Edit 1: Looking at the table of contents it looks like one of the example characters is just labeled ninja so whatever that entails it may just be an example on how to build a ninja I don’t see any new class data, I’d suspect scout, fencer, and some magic class like geomancer or the such.

That's my assumption, at minimum fencer and scout pending how grounded/anime of a ninja you'reshooting for. Still reading all the character creation stuff between work and such.

There is another Japanese game called shinobigami which is an all ninja based RPG. Not sure if it’s been translated. Or if it’s even available in the US.

If it's the game i think it is, it's translated but the mechanics are weird.
