I created a Mystic Ninja as a derivation of the Mage Ninja template, and I have to tell you it works well.

Mysticism 120
Focus 120
Ninjitsu 120
Hiding 100
Stealth 80
Fencing 120
Chiv 70ish

Stats:
Str 100
Dex 50
Int 100

I use an Assassin spike with SC and SSI due to spikes having the shadowstrike and infectious strike specials. Being human allows a slight boost to mana regen and the use JoaT Spellweaving. Can add hit spell to the spike with enchant (lasts for a couple minutes or until disarmed) and also use deathstrike.

Good observation; however, you don't need poisoning to inflict lesser poison with a weapon (try it). Lesser poison is more effective at disrupting mages any way; quicker tic.

Also, Ninjitsu allows you to inflict up to deadly poison with fukiya darts and shuriken without the poisoning skill.

What you speak about has little to no use.... Why would use infecting just to do lesser poison? A normal hit would disrupt them anyway.

I'm going to stone poisoning and see if shuriken can deadly poison without poisoning. Last I tested it , you needed DP's shurikens and 80 poisoning skill to get the full effect.... But this was years ago

It is true. Stars and darts depend on ninjitsu not poisoning. Furthermore, I haven't seen anyone lose a tic to poison in a long time. It just makes healing one step away, so it really doesn't matter if it is lesser or greater IMHO. I like the temp.

The major limitations I'm seeing right now would be creating the suit. It looks like your basically using a Mage suit.

What are your armor ignores hitting for? Deathstrikes?

With neither Tactics nor Anatomy you will do little damage with your Assassin Spike. You sure can annoy people with that template in PvP, but I doubt that you can kill anyone with it.

In all fairness I said fun, not super duper uber. Mysticism spells are really too slow to be terribly useful in solo PvP. With the right tactics though, Rising Colossus and Nether Cyclone, not to mention purge magic, can be effective.

I tried the temp out on TC. It's pretty sweet. I made some changes.

Suit. I used spirit of totem and stormgrips. I put sdi on ring at 12. And running cloak of death. I made it to 2/6 casting. 34 lmc 100 lrc and 68 dci/45 hci. 15 sdi. 6 mr.

Skills. I dropped chiv. Put 90 tactics on with 110 real ninjit and +10 ninjit on bracer.

i agree chiv is useless in a temp like that.....tactics and specials will benefit you way more

How did you manage to do that with only the changes you posted? you dropped chiv, giving you +70 and took away 10 ninja giving you +80, but you added 90 tactics leaving you at -10 skill points? actually, his template is -10 to start with so you would be at -20? basically you have 20 skill points to many, assuming you used the same numbers he did.

You dont....
The mistake was easily noticeable. But personally I would not run this without magic resistance either. This template doesn't have alot of melee killing power and will be magic poisoned/paralyzed at will. This template's ability to cast mysticism spells will be heavily reduced. IMHO not a good template and probably wasn't "tested" much

I said I dropped chiv, not replaced it. Have you tried the template? The best I could do was +10 and still have those mods.

I tried a number of different combinations of gear.

Have a good one.

....and I don't remember the last time I saw a dexxer with resist.

And the temp has stealth.

This tempalte has ninjitsu and fencing. He has no tactics which means no specials except infecting and shadow strike.... I wouldn't call this a dexxer template at all considering he's got 50 dex...

The main weapon of this template is clearly mysticism + focus

The operative word being 'fun'. Resisting spells is not what I consider a fun skill ... 'oh yeah I soooo resisted that curse. sweet!'

Also how many ninjas carry resisting spells and parry? Toe-to-toe is not really a ninja's style.
