Giant ninjas

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I mean, it seems like it’d be a great idea. Giant stuff is cool, ninjas are cool…win-win situation, right?

But then, think about it for a moment. Ninja abilities are based largely on stealth. How are you going to creep quietly through the night if you’re 20 feet tall? No matter how skilled you are, I think some folks are going to notice. Also, how are you going to pull off clean decapitations when the blade of your katana is 150 inches long? The wide end of that thing’s going to be at least a couple inches thick. You’d basically be bludgeoning people to death no matter what you did. Nothing mysterious or cool about that. Might as well carry a baseball bat at that point.

Also, who’s going to hire you? Those who contract ninjas are generally quite insistent upon keeping the transaction a secret, and the above-mentioned conspicuous nature of the giant ninja would doubtless serve to render discretion difficult, to say the least. If you killed somebody, it would be a very small matter to determine who the 20-foot-tall black-clad sword-wielding gentleman was speaking with yesterday, and then the jig is up for your clientele.

Then again…giant ninjas. Oh yeah. You know it.

What say you?

Well, big minuses to all the stealth skills, but y’know, they could really flip out and, like, kill everybody. You just need the right ninja for the right job.

Do giant ninjas have real ultimate power? Are they cool (and by cool, I mean totally sweet)?

You could be an Epic Giant with 24 Dex and still be a good ninja.

At least in D&D 3.5

I think giant pirates would be cooler.

What about giant zombies? They may be slow, but if they can cover 20 feet with a single stride, you’re in trouble. And a shotgun to the head isn’t going to work anymore, you’re going to need a cannon. Or possibly giant ninja pirates to battle them.
