Ninja Kits (CNH)

__TOC__
By using kits in a campaign, the DM can encourage players to further develop their characters and distinguish them from one another. A kit's package of requirements, bonuses, and penalties help to define the character more specifically than the broad archetypes of the Player's Handbook. Two characters belonging to the same class but taking different kits may have abilities and orientations almost as distinctive as characters belonging to different classes.
Kits are entirely optional; the DM does not have to use them in the campaign.
==Kit Descriptions==
In this chapter, each kit is described in the following way:
Qualifications: Some kits require the character to have abilities beyond the ordinary demands of the character class.
Description and Role: This ninja is described in terms of his areas of specialty and prominence.
Secondary Skills: If the campaign uses secondary skills, the ninja must take the required skills listed here rather than choosing a different skill or rolling randomly.
Weapon Proficiencies: Some ninja receive bonus weapon proficiency slots devoted to specific weapons. Some are required to spend their normal allotment of weapon proficiency slots on specific weapons. Some are prohibited from spending weapon proficiency slots on certain weapons. Special ninja weapons are described in Chapter 5.
Nonweapon Proficiencies: Likewise, some nonweapon proficiency choices are granted as bonuses while others are required or prohibited. New nonweapon proficiencies introduced in this book are marked with an asterisk (*) and are described in Chapter 4.
Special Benefits: Many kits provide the ninja with additional options and benefits not granted to other ninja.
Special Hindrances: Most kits also impose additional restrictions on the ninja character. These restrictions may be added clan obligations or limits on abilities.
