Any hit the arcane ninja scores against a surprised creature is a critical hit. Evasion.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The arcane ninja deals an extra 7 (2d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the arcane ninja that isn't incapacitated and the arcane ninja doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll. Magical Weapons. All of the arcane ninja's weapon attacks are considered to be magical. Spellcasting. The arcane ninja is an 8th-level spellcaster.

Arcane ninjas are a variant on the assassin in the Monsters Manual of the official content with spellcasting added. Its not a complex modification, but it is useful for certain situations. |
