Ninja

A ninja is a rogue who uses multiple different tools to blend into the shadows and adapt to different situations with magical techniques called ninjutsu and their mastery of thrown weapons and swords. A ninja blends into the shadows and avoids detection until just the right moment to accomplish their objective.

Ninjutsu

3rd-level Ninja feature

You've learned to channel the power of various elements into spell-like effects using your inner energy. When you make a weapon attack on your turn, you can roll a d4 to capture an element from the atmosphere around you based on your result.

1 - Jin

2 - Chi

3 - Ten

4 - Choose one of the other results.

When you have stored an element, you can choose one of the remaining elements on each weapon attack after that. Once you have stored all three elements, you automatically store a ninjutsu technique based on the order you stored them. You can also store ninjutsu techniques with only two elements to create a different ninjutsu technique. While a ninjutsu technique is stored, you can use it as the technique specifies. If the technique requires a creature to make a saving throw, the saving throw's DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Wisdom modifier.
