Description

A short blurb describing the NPC grunt, what they do, and goals.

Standard Operating Procedure/Rules of Engagement

The elite ninja is a pretty simple enemy to run. They can either spend multiple passes whiffing throwing knife attacks in order to take advantage of their smart link bonus of +1 DP for each knife thrown that combat turn to build up to 1 deadly pre-edged knife. The +1 DP applies before you split your pools, so it won't become too overwhelming for the players.

In the event that they need to close into melee, then they have 2 options. If they've been caught in the middle of throwing knives, then they may choose to eat the intercept and continue throwing them or use Iaijutsu to draw and strike with their Nodachi. If their Nodachi doesn't have a high enough accuracy, then they will drop it and use Iaijutsu to draw and strike with their Katana.

In the event that the ninja is knocked prone, then they will use kip-up in order to return to the standing position as well as attack their opponent.

In the event that the ninja is disarmed, then they will use Iaijutsu to draw and strike with their Katana, if they are disarmed again, then they should rethink their life choices as they use Iaijutsu to draw and strike with their combat knives.
