Kusa of the Jade Oath by Rite Publishing

This product is 25 pages long. Cover and Credits is 2 pages. Next it jumps right into the class. D8, 6 skills, medium BaB, simple and some select weapons, light armor. The class is somewhat a combination of a monk and rogue or one might consider it a ninja. It gets some unarmed combat, bonus AC and sneak attack. Plus Genin Jutsu, Chunin Jutsu, Jonin Jutsu abilities and Chi points. (11 pages on the class and abilities)

Next it moves on to new feats. (9 pages) There is about 18 new feats and 23 chi/chakra feats.

It ends with OGL and 2 pages of ads (3 pages)

I did notice a few errors. Uncanny Dodge starts in the middle of the Trap Finding paragraph. Ranged Disarm feat title listed twice. Once at the bottom of one page and then again at the top of the next page where the feat actually is. In addition there was a couple of things that where not completely clear. Such as crippling strike if the str damage stacks or not, it doesn't say one way or the other.

Closing thoughts. The Art work is fair to good, though not really the type that appeals to me so take my view of the art with a grain of salt. There is a few errors in the book but nothing to major that I noticed. It could have used another editing pass though, not bad. But not up to the level I have come to expect from Rite Publishing either. This class is a good fit for those looking for a ninja type class. What I like best is that since most of the abilities are ones you can pick. You can either make a natural mystic free character or a more supernatural mystic based one. Making it flexible to fill both rolls. All and all if you are looking for such a class this is a good pick up for the price. I am giving it a 4 star, really a 3.75 honestly. As there was some more errors than normal and some of the stuff was not as clear as it could have been.
