Hmmmm....that does look interesting. In accordance with roleplay, pretty balanced....

The Fighter HLAs are indeed quite wrong. Deathblow I can see, Whirlwind sorta, but Hardiness? No, ninja should be more of Assassins than anything else, so they should get the Assassin's HLA pool. Giving them Deathblow would be redundant with their Stunning Blow. They should be restricted from wearing Elven Chain and Studded Leather, and they should not get UAI. Their lack of Trapsetting abilities (if truly implemented) offsets all their special abilities, so their 25 Thieving points per level seems all right....but I see no reason why they can't Dual.

What is noticably missing is the ninja's characteristic of disappearing before your very eyes: I would kick their True Sight ability right out, and replace it with Invisibility 2x/day.

I believe the -2 Charisma is due to the effects of running around masked all the time, and the only time people can see you is when you're leaving a crime scene.
