Well also note the main benefits of the ninja class are with thrown weapons, not with a bow or with a cane in melee. They get auto-penetration and critical hits with thrown weapons. If you have a faerie ninja with the CoC, since it's a cursed/unremovable item, you will be limited to melee combat with the CoC and magic for ranged. Still will be a very effective character but it's giving up all the special thrown weapon benefits of the class. Although I guess in the off hand you could equip some throwing weapons, have heard someone mention they did

Really though choose whatever race/style you'll have the most fun roleplaying, my own ninja is a human who dual throws and dual wields nunchuka. He's going to be a late-bloomer because there are so many skills he has to develop but I'm enjoying him quite a bit [img]smile.gif[/img]
