Ninja Spy enhancements

Ninja Spy enhancements tree

Core abilities

	Basic Ninja Training: While you are centered, you can use your Dexterity modifier to hit. You are proficient with short swords and treat them as Ki weapons. If another ability allows you to remain centered while wielding other types of melee weapon, then those weapons will also get the benefit of Ninja Training.
	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 0	Cooldown: {{{cd}}}	Requires: Monk Level 1
	Advanced Ninja Training: While you are centered, you can use your Dexterity modifier for damage. You also gain Doubleshot equal to your Dexterity score while wielding a Shuriken. If another ability allows you to remain centered while wielding other types of melee weapon (including unarmed/handwraps), then those weapons will also get the benefit of Advanced Ninja Training. Notes: Shuriken doubleshot from Advanced Ninja Training and Shuriken Expertise do not directly add to Doubleshot amount. Instead, upon making an attack roll, Advanced Ninja Training/Shuriken Expertise each roll a 1d100, and if the number rolled is lower than your Dex, it treats your Doubleshot damage multiplier as one higher, calculated after regular Doubleshot. Both sources stack with one another, meaning that if you possess both, you roll twice. This makes Shuriken DPS a bit inconsistent at lower Dexterity scores. Dexterity scores above 100 do not provide additional effectiveness to this enhancement. As of Update 78, this effect is displayed in the Character Sheet as providing +1 Doubleshot per Dexterity, up to a maximum of 100. This is a visual simplification only, and this enhancement still functions as before.
	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 5	Cooldown: {{{cd}}}	Requires: Monk Level 3, Basic Ninja Training
	Shadow Veil: Ki Activate: You focus your Ki and draw shadows around you. You become invisible and 25% incorporeal for one minute. Actions that break invisibility do not remove the incorporeality portion of this effect. (Ki Cost: 15, Cooldown: 6 seconds). Notes: Becoming uncentered for any reason immediately removes both components of the buff.
	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 10	Cooldown: {{{cd}}}	Requires: Monk Level 6, Advanced Ninja Training
	Poisoned Darts: Ki Activate: You spit poisoned darts in a cone before you. Nearby enemies are affected by between 4 and 8 stacks of Ninja Poison. (Magical Poison: Target takes 1d4 points of Poison damage, which scales with the higher of Melee or Ranged power; every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. The Target's vulnerability to poison is increased by 5%. This ability can stack up to 20 times. On timer expiration, 4 stacks of Ninja Poison are removed at a time.) (Ki Cost: 15, Cooldown: 15 seconds.)
	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 20	Cooldown: {{{cd}}}	Requires: Monk Level 12, Shadow Veil
	Diversion: Ki Activate: You turn yourself invisible and create a dummy that attracts the attention of nearby enemies. For the next 20 seconds, gain +5 Sneak Attack Dice and +5 Assassinate DCs. (Ki Cost: 50, Cooldown: 180 seconds.) Passive: +5 Melee and Ranged Power.
