Ninja

Ninjas use deception, ki powers, and martial arts to defeat their enemies, gather information, and steal secrets. Though they lack the outright combat prowess of fighters and barbarians, they are adept at bringing foes to battle on their own terms, seeming to appear and disappear at will.

In the Realms, the ninja arts, or ninjutsu, are believed to have originated on the eastern continent of Kara-Tur, and probably arrived in Faerûn via the Shou expatriate community.
