Shinobi Mage (Character Kit)

__NOTOC__
==Shinobi Mage==
Qualifications: This kit is available to human and half-elf wizards only, with minimum Intelligence scores of 12.
Description and Role: All ninja clans need members with more magical knowledge than the Spirit Warrior possesses. The Shinobi Mage is a normal generalist wizard who has a little bit of ninja training. Because his training has been divided between magic and ninjutsu, he is not quite as accomplished a wizard as those who do not belong to ninja clans.
The Shinobi Mage is often appointed as an advisor to the clan leader.
Secondary Skills: Scribe.
Weapon Proficiencies: Required: None.
Nonweapon Proficiencies: Required: Reading/Writing.
Special Benefits: The Shinobi Mage is able to learn a few thieving skills, receiving move silently, detect noise, and read languages at 1st level. Subsequently, he progresses in these skills in the same way as a Shinobi Fighter. The Shinobi Mage can also learn to use the ninja-to, but proficiency in this weapon requires two slots; he is not required to learn the ninja-to.
At 1st level he can move silently, detect noise, and read languages with base scores of 10% each (modified by all racial bonuses and penalties). With each subsequent experience level, the Shinobi gets 10 discretionary points to divide among the three thieving skills.
 Shinobi Mage Base Scores
Skill 	Base Score
Move Silently 	10%
Detect Noise 	10%
Read Languages	10%
Special Hindrances: Because his training is divided between the study of magic and the practice of ninja skills, the Shinobi Mage cannot attain the same mastery of magic as a normal mage. To determine the Spell Level limit, Chance to Learn Spell, and Maximum Number of Spells per Level (all from the Player's Handbook, Table 4), treat the Shinobi Mage as having an Intelligence score 2 points lower than it actually is. (Thus a Shinobi Mage with an Intelligence score of 17 learns spells as though he had an Intelligence score of 15.)
Note: The followers of a Shinobi Mage are always Shinobi Mages, Shinobi Illusionists, and Spirit Warriors.
