'''Origami Master {{Ex}}:''' An origami ninja gain half her class level as a bonus to [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] (Papercraft) checks.

'''Paper Weapon {{Su}}:''' As a move action, an origami ninja can fold mundane paper into a melee piercing or slashing weapon and reinforce it with her ki. The weapon acts as a normal masterwork weapon of its kind except it has a hardness of 0. However a paper weapon can only be damaged by fire or slashing damage. A paper weapon lasts for as long as it in the hand of the origami ninja and 1 round thereafter. In the hands of anyone else, it is just a piece of paper useless for combat. 

Starting at 2nd level, when she folds a paper weapon, the origami ninja may spend one ki point. If she does, she enhances her paper weapon as the Magus's Arcane Pool ability. She uses her ninja level to determine the enhancement bonus and special abilities she can grant to her paper weapon.

A origami ninja cannot use her ki pool to grant herself a bonus to stealth.

'''Folded Animal {{Su}}:''' At 3rd level, an origami ninja can spend 1 ki point to fold mundane paper in the form of an animal and gift it life. This behave as the [[SRD:Animal Messenger|''animal messenger'']] spell except she creates the subject and it is a construct instead of an animal.

'''Paper Butterflies {{Su}}:''' At 18th level, when a origami ninja is hit by a melee or ranged attack, she can turn herself into a swarm of origami butterflies as an immediate action by spending 4 ki points. The swarm of butterflies relocate to a square within 30 ft, effectively teleporting. She takes no damage from the triggering attack, but she must have line of effect to the target square. 

'''Ninja Trick:''' An origami ninja can choose from the following ninja trick in addition to her normal list.

''Explosive Paper {{Sp}}:'' When an origami ninja with this trick folds paper into a shape, she can imbue it with her ki as a standard action, spending 2 ki points. Doing so make the paper a powerful explosive, detonating as a [[SRD:Fireball|''fireball'']] using her ninja level as her caster level. The save DC of the bomb is 10 + 1/2 ninja level + the origami ninja's [[Charisma]] modifier. The origami Ninja must be 8th level or higher to select this ninja trick.

The origami must set the bomb to either: contact, detonation or timed. If she chooses contact the bomb explodes on contact with the next living creature except herself who touches it. If she chooses detonation she must trigger the explosion herself with a standard action. If she choose timed she can choose an arbitrary amount of time, after that time elapses the bomb automatically explodes. If the explosive paper is destroyed, it automatically explodes. If the origami ninja dies, her armed bomb if any is immediately disarmed.

The origami ninja can only have one instance of explosive paper at any time, if she creates a new instance the previous bomb is automatically disarmed. She can use this ability on her folded animal, origami swarm or even a paper shuriken.

''Paper Shuriken {{Su}}:'' A origami ninja with this trick can use her paper weapon ability to create paper shuriken. She can fold a single shuriken as a free action, allowing her to fold and then immediately throw it. When she uses a ki point to grant an enhancement bonus to her shuriken, it applies to all shurikens she creates for 1 minute.

''Paper Wings {{Su}}:'' A origami ninja with this ninja trick can folds herself a pair of paper wings. By spending 1 ki point she gains a fly speed of 60 ft with average maneuverability for 1 minute. When the duration elapses she may spend another ki point as a free action  to extend her flight by 1 minute. The origami Ninja must be 6th level or higher to select this ninja trick.

''Scroll Folder {{Ex}}:'' A origami ninja with this trick can fold a scroll into one of her paper weapons. If she does the weapon gain an enhancement bonus equal to half the scroll’s spell level (rounded down, minimum of 0). She can unfold the scroll as a move action to use it as a scroll, however because of slight damage it cannot be ever used as a paper weapon again. If the scroll contains a targeted spell with a range of touch or higher, she may discharge it as a swift action on a successful melee attack. She does not need to make a UMD check to cast the spell this way. She cast the spell as per the scroll on the struck creature, except if it could affect more than one target it only affects the struck creature. Doing so destroys the scroll and the paper weapon.}}
