[Pathfinder] Tengu Ninjas!
Following on from my tengu rogue build, today I present a tengu ninja that uses natural weapons to generate more sneak attack opportunities. As with the rogue, I’ve swapped out swordtraining, but took the claw option instead. The claws and beak have a small base damage die, but suffer none of the awkward two-weapon fighting penalties and feat requirements. Additionally, the claws allow you to qualify for feats as if you had Improved Unarmed Strike (hello style feats). Weapon Finesse builds are possible, but I prefer a bit of brute force:
Tengu ninja (claw attack alternate racial trait)

This looks cool. What books did you use? I’m guessing Ultimate Combat and the Bestiary. Anything else?
I used the following:
Ultimate Combat*, Advanced Race Guide**, Advanced Player’s Guide*** and Core.
N01 – Toughness
N02 – Weapon Training (Weapon Focus (claw))
N03 – Feral Combat Training (claw) *
N04 – Style Master (Tiger Style) *
N05 – Tengu Wings **
N06 – Vanishing Trick *
N07 – Blood Beak **
N08 – Combat Trick (Eldritch Claws) ***
N09 – Power Attack
N10 – Invisible Blade *
N11 – Tiger Claws *
N12 – Feat (Tiger Pounce) *
Thanks for the comment. In future build posts (where I don’t hyperlink the feats to the PRD), I’ll start adding book references.
