Ninja is a character class found in several titles of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series of console role-playing games.
In Final Fantasy VII, most characters lack proper job titles, as their uniqueness is instead found in their choice of weapon, their Limit Break abilities and the player's ability to customize each character with Materia which confer traditional Final Fantasy spells and job skills.
The classes Amarant seems to mix are the Ninja and the Monk, with his Flair abilities showcasing a number of Final Fantasy Monk mainstay powers (such as Chakra), and his ability to Throw weapons in the party's inventory.

 Norse mythology
The stories that comprise what is left of Norse mythology depict the gods and giants as colourful characters, much like archetypes for human behaviour and abilities.
Icelandic scholar Magnus Magnusson, author of "Viking: Hammer of the North," suggests that there was a stoic, pragmatic, rationalistic side to the Nordic character that tended to treat the mythological figures as allegorical rather than as literal entities, aware that questions of ultimate meaning required a more poetic, intuitive approach.
The head of a cult was called a godi, who was like the head of a kindred group of families.

 Wizards.COMmunity Boards - The Crusher Core Character Class
It's a pretty simple class and it seemed to be equal to a fighter in most playtesting situations.
This class has got a worse strength bonus overall compared to the War Hulk, has the BAB of a Sourcerer (which is not the reason you play one), a worse AC than a Barbarian (no heavy shields, no armour at all, no stat to AC, no nothing...
You can only balance a class by the class abilities it gets, not by finding every single loophole in the rules to see if the class can be abused somehow, and then call it overpowered because you found one or two.

He or she is an expert in hand combat, and can fight with or without weapons, pummelling foes with fists or staves, and able to use only leather armor and lighter.
The Monk class also has the capability to mend wounds, which gives a small boost to his or her hit points, making him the primary puller and a competant off-tank.

I am sure there could be a better name, but basically this class would surrender to RAGE must faster, mebbe 1/2 the time of a regular Viking.
This would be 1)to prevent a character from becoming all powerful, 1/2 the time, with a one handed weapon, being able to use a shield, 2)whenever the Viking did not have his large weapon he would have to use some hand-to-hand, imagine the gore from that.
This guys strength (or whatever attr is used) would have the maximum allowed, but his dex (or whatever attr is used) would be minimum.

 Articles - Berserker (character class)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Berserker is a character class (or job) known for being vicious, uncontrollable warriors.
They are generally strong fighters, who typically wield heavy weapons (clubs and axes) and medium-to-lightweight armor, and usually enter battle in an automatic Berserk status.
While the character Gau from Final Fantasy VI is not directly controllable by the player when using his Rages, it would not be correct to classify him as a Berserker, as Gau tends to be far more versatile in the range of his combat abilities than any other example of the Berserker class.

In Rune, character creation is more open-ended - there aren't any strict character classes to be adhered to.
You choose your abilties and powers and such, so certainly all the characters are different.
So you can mix up your character with all you want to have it mixed up to and extent.

 roleplaying tips for roleplayers and gamemaster roleplaying advice for all roleplaying systems and rpgs
Use it in-game when a character picks up an item or is secretly enspelled and the effects are not immediately apparent.
Out of character, players whose characters heard nothing will not know of the sound played and will not know who else heard it.
I find that limiting a player's knowledge keeps him closer to his character and helps put him/her in the state of mind where he/she can relate to and think as their character, which helps to pull them into the game.

I love to consider where my character is going, what he'll need to get there, and what he'll do when he arrives.
So basically, my favorite classes for the past two years have been FI, invoker, ranger and enchanter (especially the old enchanter of 2 years ago with the fire/frost sword pets).
Now for class, well it's a totally different story, I sort of change my mind every 2 weeks, and I more or less try everything, have fun with it then drop it when I'm bored.

Making characters with slightly higher stats which are damn annoying to train pointless.
It just means that they had too high a growth for their class.
I could have a character with all stat caps 21 and maxed in all those, and a character with all stat caps 30 but he had 25 in each stat, and the maxstatters would say the first character was better.

 BioWare Forums: strongest class/character/items in YOUR OPINION
My characters always get max on prime requisite, max useful on CON (18 for warriors, 15 for CON (later 16), and 18 STR, for skill with melee, if magic runs out.
IMO the best class is Archers.They have the ability to kill off your foes from distance equipped with Elven Court LB and then wading in with dual-wielded Crom Faeyr and Flail of Ages.
I personally think that, though the HP is good (+ 18 HP as compared to fighter with same stats), as well as the berserk mode, and the fast movement, the limited specialization is a minus, as well as the inability to wear plate, until later in the game, when you get some good chain.
