Support
Brawler
AP: 100
Type: Support
Equipment: When the Ninja has no weapon equipped, treat the Ninja as if they were wielding a weapon which deals (8 x ATK + d8) damage and has a Delay of 40, and a Floor of 20. Brawler is used with Dual Wield, if both Weapon and Shield slot are empty and the Dual Wield ability is in use.
Adjustment: +4 Power per tier above 1.
Bare: When Brawler is active, change the Ninja's Strength to Medium with a Delay and Floor of 40 and 20, respectively, instead of 50 and 20 and removes all properties attached to the Strength
Remodeling: Functions exactly as it does with 'Equipment', see above.
Flee
AP: 50
Type: Support
When the Ninja performs a successful Escape action, they may choose to bring the rest of the party with them as well.
Sprint
AP: 50
Type: Support
The CT on Escape actions is removed. In addition, lower the Delay on Movement actions taken by the Ninja by 10 and the Floor by 5.
Dual Wield
AP: 150
Type: Support
Whenever the Ninja makes an attack with the Weapon keyword, they strike twice, as a Multi-Hit effect - they roll to hit twice and apply damage for each successful hit, though they pay costs only once. Any non-damage effect of the ability is applied a maximum of once - Delay Buster, for example, will delay by 10D if it hits at least once, but will not delay by 20D if both hits land. Added CoSes may be rolled once for each hit as well. Dual Wield always increases the accuracy of statuses, effects, and conditions. but never increases their magnitude. Increase the delay of the equipped weapons by +10D.
Equipment: The ninja may equip two weapons at once, holding one in each hand. (The second goes in the shield slot.) Dual Wield may be used with the Dual Wield-OK weapons: Daggers, Claws, Boomerangs and Ninja Knives. Abilities with [W] notation in their delays use the highest delay of the two equipped weapons. The first hit is with one weapon, and the second is with the other - each hit inflicts damage based on the weapon it was performed with. Properties granted by the weapon's type (such as Ranged, Piercing, and any Accuracy or Critical ranks granted by type) apply only to the strike with that weapon. (That is, if you are striking with a knife and a claw, each hit does not bear both the knife's inherent Accuracy I and the claw's inherent Critical 4 and Impact.) Some equipment properties such as "Elemental" and "Added Status" explicitly state that they apply to strikes with that weapon - all others benefit both strikes.
Bare: Works as described above. Additionally, remove 3 ranks of Critical and Impact from the Ninja's Strength and replace it with Brutal.
Remodeling: Allows the character to equip any Light weapon in both hands. When doing so, roll to hit (and then damage) twice rather than once.
Parry
AP: 100
Type: Support
Equipment: When Equipped with a Weapon, the Ninja receives 2 ranks of Evasion.

Treasure Hunter
AP: 100
Type: Support

Unscarred
AP: 150
Type: Support
