Ninja Hero (5th Edition)
A genre sourcebook for running martial arts games with the HERO System, covering realistic, cinematic, wuxia, video game, and anime styles. It provides character creation guidance, archetype package deals, optional martial combat rules, and advice for gamemasters. The book also includes maps, five sample campaigns, nearly two dozen example characters, magical weapons, and plot seeds. It can be used as a stand-alone genre reference, but requires the HERO System 5th Edition core rulebook for the game rules.
