Ninjitsu
このコンテンツはまだ日本語訳がありません。
Ninjitsu is the expansion-era (Samurai Empire) ninja skill. The prose is community-derived from ServUO and general UO mechanics (no uorenaissance.com entry) pending field verification; the stats table is source-verified against ServUO. Behavior is expansion-specific — see magic schools.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Ninjitsu grants a toolkit of stealthy combat and mobility tricks: Animal Form (turn into a creature for speed or disguise), Mirror Image (decoy clones), Focus Attack, Death Strike and Surprise Attack (hit-from-hiding bonuses), Backstab, and Smoke Bomb (instant hide). It rewards a hit-and-vanish playstyle and leans heavily on Hiding/Stealth.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”Activate abilities from the Book of Ninjitsu (most cost mana). Several stealth attacks require you to strike from hiding; Animal Form and Smoke Bomb support the sneak playstyle. See hiding & stealth and advanced combat.
How to train it
Section titled “How to train it”Quick start: an NPC Ninja (or a Ninja trainer in the Tokuno towns) teaches Ninjitsu up to
one-third of its own skill, capped at 42.0 (Scripts/Mobiles/Normal/BaseCreature.cs,
CheckTeach: baseToSet = ourSkill.BaseFixedPoint / 3) — buy to ~30–42 first.
Ninjitsu rises from using its abilities — the cheapest reliable trainer is Animal Form:
- Low skill — shift into Animal Form (and back) and use the cheap abilities repeatedly; it costs only mana, so it’s an easy loop.
- Mid/high skill — weave stealth attacks and forms into combat; harder use holds the gain window, and GGS pays out the slow late points. Some specifics are unverified.
