Are you still going to keep the 'must multi-class' thing, or will players be able to choose to only be a ninja?
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask that very question myself. I've been considering making the ninja single-class for my OA/Masks of Nyarlethotep game. If I do make them single class, I was thinking about giving them them d6 hit points and using the traditional assassination .and siguise skills from the Assassin class rather than the over-powered OA version of assassination.
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to seeing the compilation.
I had envisaged them as single class, but Labyrinth Lord is a bit more flexible in general than 1e is/was with regard to multi-classing. On reflection of their extremely high xp reqs for each level, I may bump their hd to d6 and add open locks and find/remove traps back.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep them as single class rather than specifically multi-class, and I agree r.e. keeping the Assassin class assassinate ability rather than the OA one; they *disguise* themselves as other character types if they need to appear as something other than what they are.
