Background:

money or Mommy’s old-money name couldn’t get her.

Nothing, that is, except a cure for that hollow, empty

feeling where she knew her soul was supposed to be.

That’s right; poor little rich girl. Mommy and Daddy’s

trophy daughter to be paraded out and shown off for the

business partners and socialites; just like a world-class

thoroughbred.

LPJ9803

You are the culmination of over a thousand years of

mystic martial arts and lethal stealth techniques. Your

mind, your body, your soul are one; focused on only

one goal: the perfect kill.

Descended from generations of

silent warriors and arcane assas-

sins, the Neo Ninja is a fusion of

mythic tradition, relentless training,

unmatched cunning, and a cold-blooded lack

of conscience. All of which are vital traits

that place them and their services in

high demand in the

modern world.

When she turned eighteen, however, it occurred to her

that she was only bound to the lifestyle of the idle rich

because she chose to be. Mommy and Daddy were far

too busy with board meetings and luncheons to care if

Little Kimmy stayed at Yale. They didn’t even know she

had run away until she didn’t come home at Christmas

break. By then, she had already romped halfway across

Europe. Of course they sent detectives and hunters, but

Kim soon found that she had a knack for staying one

step ahead of the gumshoes.

For that reason, only the best

of the best are ever selected by the

fabled Ninja clans. Not only do

prospective initiates have to be at

the pinnacle of the martial-arts world, they

must also possess an inner fire that is cold

as any blade, willing to kill without a

second thought or a backward glance.

Likewise, they must be willing to lose

their own lives in the pursuit of duty,

and of perfection.

Profile of a

When she busted out in Moscow, it occurred to her to

blackmail Daddy. Sure, he’d never touched her in any

improper way, but where there’s smoke there’s fire. One

heated phone call later, and Kim was financed all the

way to Sri Lanka. A near-fatal drug overdose there gave

her the idea to pursue alternate religions, and from

there, martial arts was just the next logical step.

Three years spent studying techniques all over Asia

served her well. Her angry, combative nature made her

an innate warrior. By the time she reached Tokyo, she

had already acquired a reputation in the underground

fighting circuits. She was good in the unarmed matches,

but she was the bloody best when she could use her

beloved kasuri-gama. It was only in the ring, covered in

men’s blood that she could feel something in that

hollow spot deep inside her.

Neo Ninja:

Kim had once been a spoiled little rich girl.

There was nothing that Daddy’s corporate

That insane desire to be fulfilled almost proved her

undoing. When she killed Sasaki Nakamura in

Kobe, Kim didn’t know that he was the son of a

Yakuza lord. When they came after her, an

acquaintance pointed her in the direction that led

her to The Order, where she was taken in as an

initiate. She almost laughed when they told her

that to prove herself worthy, she would have to

return with the senior Nakamura’s head.

attack as if she were using a single weapon. By

making a single attack roll at her highest Base Attack

Bonus, the Neo Ninja makes a double strike which

inflicts 2x the single weapon’s listed damage. For

example, a Neo Ninja using a three-section rod could

inflict up to 20 points of damage ( 2x 1d10 ) plus her

strength modifier on a single attack. This attack is

treated as a standard attack action, and is also consid-

ered as if it were made with the primary hand while

fighting with two weapons ( see Table 5-3, pg. 138

d20 Modern: Core rulebook ).

Two Weapons - Two Accords: At 7th Level, the

Neo Ninja gains the ability to use her twin weapons

( or double weapon ) for both attack and defense while

making a full-attack action. She may choose which

of her Base Attack Bonuses to apply to a double-

strike attack ( as in the Two Weapons - One Accord

class ability ), and which to apply as a deflection

bonus to her Defense. For example, a Neo Ninja with

a BAB of +6/+1 may either make a double-strike

attack at +6 while adding +1 to her Defense, or

attack at +1 while adding +6 to her Defense.

Great Leap: Beginning at 2nd Level, the Neo Ninja

is capable of almost superhuman leaps and jumps.

This ability allows the character to spend one Action

Point to multiply the distance that can be cleared

with a successful Jump skill check by her Neo Ninja

class level. For example, a 5th Level Neo Ninja

could clear a 100 ft. long jump with a DC of only 25

( see Jump skill description, pp 65-66, d20 Modern:

Core rulebook ).

Ninja gets this feat applied to the weapon she has

Focused upon.

Wall Run: Also at 7th Level, the Neo Ninja gains

the extraordinary ability to move across vertical and

near-vertical surfaces with amazing agility. By

at her full speed up, down, or across a slope or wall

as a standard move action with a successful Climb

Precise Strike: At 3rd Level, the character also gains

the extraordinary ability to strike precisely with a

single one-handed weapon, inflicting additional

damage on a successful attack. Only targets vulner-

able to Critical Hits are subject to this ability, and it

cannot be used as part of a Two Weapons-One

Accord attack. At 6th and 9th Levels, the damage

inflicted by this attack is increased.

Superior Weapon Specialization: At 8th Level, the

Neo Ninja adds +2 to the damage inflicted by her

Specialized weapon. This is in addition to the

previous +2 bonus for Specialization.

Improved Critical: At 4th Level, the threat range on

the Neo Ninja’s specialized weapon is doubled,

increasing the possibility of inflicting a Critical Hit

on a successful attack.

Always Stealthy: At 9th Level, the Neo Ninja is

always considered to be taking 10 on all Hide and

Move Silently checks, unless she wants to be

noticed.

Fast Sneak: At 4th Level, the Neo Ninja has become

so adept at stealth, that she may move at her full

movement rate without suffering a penalty to Hide

and Move Silently skill checks.

Paragon of the Order: At 10th Level, The Order

has invested so much time, effort, and resources in

the Neo Ninja that it will not let a little thing like her

death diminish their returns. If the character dies, her

body will be recovered by other Ninja, and carried to

a safe-house, where it will undergo an arcane ritual

of resurrection. By making a successful Fortitude

Save with a DC of 25, the character can be revived -

no matter how long the duration of death. Once

revived, the character loses one permanent point of

Constitution, and begins to heal normally.

Without A Trace: At 5th Level, the Neo Ninja

inflicts a -4 penalty on those using Investigate,

Listen, Search, or Spot to detect her activities while

making use of the following skills: Balance, Climb,

Disable Device, Escape Artist, Hide, Move Silently,

and Sleight of Hand.

knack for resourcefulness have instilled in the Neo

Ninja an innate knowledge of how to survive many
