Ninja

While any ordinary assassin might fancy themselves a ninja, true ninja are masters of mystic techniques known as Shadow Techniques. Able to draw out the mystic energies inherent to their bodies and souls, ninja channel this energy using specialized hand seals that allow them to replicate potent spells that make them unmatched operatives in the fields of infiltration and subterfuge.

Ki

At 3rd level, as a ninja, you can harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. You have a number of ki points equal to your half your rogue level(rounded up) which you can use to fuel your Shadow Techniques. If you have ki points from another source, the points from both sources are pooled, and can be used to fuel any of your ki abilities. When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points. At 3rd level, you learn Beguile and may pick two other Shadow Techniques from the list below. You learn an additional technique of your choice at 9th, 13th, and 17th level. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one technique you know with a different one. Additionally you learn the minor illusion and control flames cantrips if you didn't already know them.

Master of Distraction

•  When you damage a creature with a ranged attack, you can spend 1 ki point to impose disadvantage on that creature's next attack roll or reduce it's movement speed by 10 feet until the end of your next turn.

Ghostrunner

Starting at 9th level, you learn to move like a ninja. When you use your Cunning Action to Dash, your movement speed increases by 10ft, your jump distance is doubled, you may ignore difficult terrain and you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.
