And regardless the ninja archetype falls under the Monk class in DnD, yeah. In 3.5 we had the Shadowdancer prestige class, which was basically a "shadow ninja of shadows" thing, and it was basically just a sneak specialization of the Monk class.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, there really really isn't a reason for a ninja class now that there's the greater focus on archetypes instead of ten bajillion PrCs.

And I read through the rules for 5e monks. They're pretty awesome now even without optimizing, especially in comparison to their state in RAW 3.5e.

The ninja class in 3.5 was pretty rubbish, if I recall correctly. Tier 5.

[Criptfeind]

Ninja suffers from basically being a really bad rogue I feel.

Also I'm not so impressed with monk in 5E ether. It seems like it's mostly good at low levels. Like, if we had a monk in the party it would be doing 1d8+3+2d4+6. Which is really good. But it doesn't seem to scale that well. Next level the barbarian can probably do more when enraged. And it shares the same sorta issues in 3.5 that their class features are a bit scattered and are sorta not helpful. And the archetypes (other then maybe the elemental one) are sorta lackluster.

Well. The elemental archetype could be good. (Lord knows I'm not actually going to think hard enough as one needs to to look into that) But other then that the growth potental seems a bit low on monk. Also I feel like it's unarmored defense is worse then the barbarians one. But that's because I've been trying to come up with a dex based multiclassing barbarian in my head for a while now.

Gilgamesh, we need your action. Tadhg may die depending on what YOU do! No pressure or anything!

...

In other news. Wondering how easy it would be to port D&D 5e into modern/future/urban arcana setting. I might even have a sample encounter ready. Would anyone want to test it with me? Maybe four players...

[GiglameshDespair]

Gigla! Not gilga! D:<

But ok.

Okay...GL!

[Criptfeind]

I'd be willing to give it a test run. I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with.

Edit: Gigglymesh.

I CAN TEST RUN

[Dwarmin]

I CAN TEST RUN

I DIDN'T MAKE YOU AN IRONIC SCIFI CHARACTER THOUGH

Also, the combat is up Cript.

[Criptfeind]

Well, that was quick!

NOOOOO

[GiglameshDespair]

Unless you can take feats to have additional robot arms, it's no game I want to play!

[scriver]

You can take feats to have extra arms, but only t-rex arms.

*Wiggles tiny arms*

Getting back to lost Isle, what action can I take? I can't do enough damage to kill one slime, let alone two, and I'm not next to our fallen companion in order to rescue him. I don't have magic I can call on to solve the problem, either...
