Ninja

A crimson tiefling wearing armor sneaks past the guards of a castle, disguising themselves as a knight of the castle's king. The tiefling quickly approaches the throne room, removing the disguise of armor when no eyes are on them, and swings the throne room's door wide open. In a split second, two daggers are thrown at the king, piercing his throat, and the tiefling flees, as guards pursue him.

A wood elf is surrounded on all sides by a group of savage orcs, each one wielding a giant axe and grinning viciously. The elf quickly consumes a pill from a satchel by their side, dipping their blade in a poison contained inside the satchel, and then leaps twenty feet into the air. Before the orcs can react, each one of them is sliced with the blade, and their insides rapidly melt, causing each one to collapse to the ground.

A tabaxi with a large scroll on their back is running from a pack of wolves. Suddenly, the tabaxi turns around, and opens the scroll, reading the text off of the parchment, conjuring forth blades around their body. They rush back into the wolves, and slash at each one of them, cleaving them all to pieces.

These few powerful people are examples of ninjas, warriors who have learned how to harness the secret techniques of ninjutsu, using tools, traps, and tactics passed down from their teachers.

Masters of Espionage Ninjas are masters of stealth and deception, using special tools and traps to gain the upper hand against their foes. They are adept at fading into the shadows without a trace, and appearing to be friends of their targets, only revealing their true nature when its already too late. Some ninjas choose to use the powers of darkness itself to aid them in their efforts, while others create powerful pills and poisons that cripple their foes. Others still use a largely secret art of ninjutsu, one that relies on storms of blades summoned by magic.
