Ninja

In a land rife with injustice and oppression, many peasants and servants of the wealthy have no choice but to simply withstand the endless torment of working simply to stay alive. In other places, war, disease, and famine leave the common folk fending for themselves as their noble oppressors seek only to bring glory to their own name, or food and coin to their own households.

In these times of trouble, stories of humble workers of the land begin to arise, bringing hope to the people. Stories not of heroes favored by the Gods, nor of unholy agents of darkness,  but rather stories of those who are but simple farmhands and cart drivers much like the people who listen to them. These stories tell of the myths of the Ninja, people who in hard times rise against tyranny and the unjust. Stories of those who, under the cover of night, raid the very same nobles that lay down impossible taxes, steal from the wealthy and give to the poor, and murder the ingrates that take innocent lives indiscriminately for their own pleasures.

In time, the stories turn into ideas. With support, the ideas turn into plans. With action, the plans turn into results. And in time, the Ninja are no longer just myths.

Ki

Starting at 3rd level, You gain access to the mystic energy Ki. Your access to the mystic energy Ki is represented by a number of Ki points. The number of Ki Points you have equals your Rogue level.

You can spend these points to fuel various Ki features. You start knowing three such features: Ninjutsu, Cunning Strike, and Step of the Wind, You learn more Ki features as you gain levels in this class. 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.

Some of your Ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Ki save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier.
