Shinobi Class
tab Description:
A Ninja, or Shinobi, was typically a covert agent or mercenary. The functions of a Ninja included espionage, deception, and surprise attack. Their covert methods of waging irregular warfare were deemed dishonorable and beneath the honor of the samurai. The ninja were stealth soldiers and mercenaries hired mostly by Daimyōs. Their primary roles were those of espionage and sabotage, although assassinations were also attributed to ninja. Although they were considered the anti-samurai and were disdained by those belonging to the samurai class, they were necessary for warfare and were even employed by the samurai themselves to carry out operations that were forbidden by the Bushido. In battle, the ninja could also be used to cause confusion amongst the enemy.
tab Perks:
• Shinobi who follow the Bhuddist, Taoist, or Shugendō religious teachings gain a reduction in technique cost by a total of ten [ 10 ].
• Start with access to two [ 2 ] elements, or characters may choose to start with only one [ 1 ] element for an extra twenty [ 20 ] points to their energy pool, starting at D-Rank.
• Shinobi start with a combined total of 250 for their energy pools (chakra and stamina). The character can assign how much of the 250 points can go into these pools upon character creation.
• Shinobi are able to allocate their slots (unless already named) as they wish. Once allocated, however, it cannot be changed. Ten [ 10 ] Technique slots may be converted to one [ 1 ] Stage of Learning, and vice versa.

tab Notes:
• Shinobi do not understand the concept of 'mana,' as the ancient teachings of Bhuddism teach of the body's 'chakra' and it is from this chakra that the shinobi can perform their amazing feats.
• Maruton [Null Release] and Fuuinjutsu [Sealing Techniques] are available to all Shinobi, unless otherwise stated. Both use Ninjutsu slots
• Shinobi get a smaller technique list, and less slots, but they gain access to new techniques and perks as they expand their knowledge.
• No Shinobi Class Discipline can be taken more than once.
• Maximum energy pool increases are cumulative. They do not replace each other as you rank up; they are all added together.
