If I was you, I'd start my ninja out as a rouge (for lockpicking), then make him a ninja as soon as your mage gets the knock knock spell. Put max skill points each level for your rouge into locks&traps, and split remaining points for stealth,ranged and close combat, as these will be benifical for your ninja when he/she is ready to change. Next, I would replace the gageteer with a ranger. This will balance you for having both good ranged combat, as well as close.
Also, after you get high enough level (5th) select one of either the monk, ranger, or ninja, and start beefing up their magical skills gradually because you'll want it later in the game.
The reason I say pick one, is that you'll spread your fighters to thin if you put too much into magic instead of combat skills.

If you really have your heart set on a gageteer, you can pick up an NPC gageteer fairly early in the game.

Hehehe I like his omnigun, it works pretty well if you use different ammo for different things...but the really cool, funny, hysterical thing is the gadgets he can make. I loved the lava lamp [img]smile.gif[/img] set it out and all the monsters oooh and ahhh looking at it while you hack on them...it was just too funny [img]smile.gif[/img] Cant wait to make even better things as I figure them out.
