As I was reading through the ninja posts, it dawned on me that using the blowgun or throwin stars probubly uses your ninjitsu for chance to hit vs the creature you are aiming for. I am at work for another three hours, and woudl probubly forget on my own so I will ask here and hopefully think to check back today...

If you were to often use the blowgun or shrukins on a target close to your ninjisu skill, can you get gains in ninjitsu from it? If so, it would be a great way to at least supliment training while doing other mana intense spells or whatnot. Afterall, if this works, a dart can be made from one board. Two darts if it is made Exp I think. you could easily get a bigger stack then that and just keep reloading. Shouldn't even have to have them poisoned right?

Thoughts Ideas Rants and Raves?

Wow, great question, I'll test it out when I get a chance.

*crosses fingers*

This would be huge if it works.

i have no idea on this

I enjoy the blow gun thing, I have a character who will remain nameless that is a ninja, but I think that being able to strike from a distance would be awesome. ESPECIALLY if it can be poisoned. It gives more of that assassin feel.

However, the Surikens are really not my idea of getting gains for the reason that they only hit for 1 - 7 for me, and the only reason I use them is because they are DP'ed.

I finally got things together on Lake Superior and got my GGS off a fukiya dart. This GGS was at 102+ ninja skill natrual. So even though for just training alone that would take a while, it would be a heck of a lot cheaper then archery if you were to just use it this way. Please keep in mind that this is still a theory sence I do not know if it is dificutly based on the target in some form like your ninja skill Vs targets wrestling/weapon skill. I got my GGS off a Bogling

I remember I had something in the OLD ninja guide on this, but I cannot recall exactly what it was. Great thinking!
