    Updated the build with extra RP notes.  And I started a new save on Ironman DiD.  I have given myself 3 deaths, after that, DiD.  No retries.  This is so I don't lose my nerve from a random skeever bite. O.o

    As fun as this build is for me, I realize it might be too generic for other players that prefer to play Lore, or RP.  Feel free to remove this build from the Character Building Group, as It has only received a meager 8 likes.  This will make the job easier for the Hosts during the Great Purge too.  Also, with the clutter of everyone bumping up their builds, I doubt any working class player will continually back track to builds moving down the list, which will eventually get un-noticed, and thus receive no attention.

    A hearty thank you to all who commented and placed their likes on this build.  Maybe next time guys ^^

    Only having 8 likes is no reason to give up, especially since it has only been up a few days. It is pretty well fleshed out. It might help to take it up to level 50. By the way, +1

    Thx Ben C.  I did save the Build on MSWord just in case.  I've looked at it over and over to see what else I could do to improve the build, but I'm stumped.  I made this build rather for game play, over any RP, or huge background stories and quest Archs.  Short off adding a gameplay Video on you tube, putting up a picture of each weapon, or adding weird stuff like, this guy likes to eat carrots over fish, I can't see what else I can do to improve this.

    Maybe I'm looking at it from too close and need some time to clear my head so I can see it more objectively.   It's up to you if you want to temp remove it, or leave it till the great purge.  thx for the like, appreciate it :)

    The only other thing I can think of is try to expand on what it really means to be a ninja.You already explained it well, but getting the core concept of stronger would make it more attractive to other people. By now most builds have been done in someway before, so setting it apart with a strong theme is key. I hope I made sense.

    Hmmm, you mean like try and discribe what a ninja would do in his day to day life?

    Ah, you made some good points.

    I was actually looking at Pointy's build stuctures (Page setup and layout) before making this up.   I just don't want to look like a copy cat.  All in all this is a good learning experience for me, and inspires me to try make this exact build better presented... even tho not everyone can be great Presenters ^^

    They do say copying is the greatest form of flattery, and I think drawing inspiration on presentation is fine.

    Change 'True Shinobi Build' to something like 'Dark Shinobi'...

    When someone uses the word 'build' in their build name it automatically makes it sound listy, I know that sounds strange but believe me it's true.

    Make the name more attractive and maybe lose the disney picture and more people will come.
