Working on another data file and as I was looking at how to build something, I ran into a question as I started looking at the data.
Rogue talents, the rogue receives them at various levels. The Ninja is an alternate version of the rogue and gets Ninja tricks. As I was reading various Rogue Talents/Ninja Tricks I started wondering if they really made sense for the Rogue or if the rogue should even be eligible for them. For example: Acrobatics Master: As a swift action, a ninja with this trick can focus her {i}ki{/i} to grant her a +20 bonus on one Acrobatics check of her choice made before the start of her next turn. Using this ability expends 1 {i}ki{/i} point from her {i}ki{/i} pool. Searching on Ninja tricks returns the following: Benefit: A rogue with this talent can choose a trick from the ninja trick list. The rogue can choose but cannot use talents that require ki points, unless she has a ki pool. the only classes that have a Ki Pool, I think, are Ninja and Monk... So what would be the point in having the rogue be eligible for Acrobatics Master, unless the character has a ki pool. Wouldn't that be a pre-condition of selecting it? Unless I am missing something. Thoughts? |

There's a Rogue Talent that grants you a Ki Pool, so once you take that, you're eligible for the Ninja tricks that require a ki pool.

That's right. I'd forgotten about that, but the question remains to some degree, should the Rogue be able to select a Talent that requires a Ki Pool, before they have a Ki Pool?

That's a known bug.

I still do not have the option to add Ki Pool as an option.

Do you own the Ultimate Combat data package? It is part of that book and required for the ability to gain that talent.
