This is a laundry list of ways of making statistics more relevant for Stealth monks and encouraging some races more (Because I'm miffed at the idea of Krokani being a good race for stealth monks, even though they do fit the bill for harmony monks.)
- Sneak and emerge's balance time scale up with size.
- The balance time for scaling rooftops scales up with size.
- The power cost of Veil scales upwards from five for sizes greater than 13.
- Dexterity affects the balance times for Aim and Obscure. Dexterities lower than 12 have a chance of "botching" obscure, causing it to have no effect.
- Intelligence affects the speed of Ghostwalk.
- Intelligence and Dexterity affect the decay time of masks.
- The duration of Deepcover scales up with Intelligence.
- The duration of Rushing scales up with Dexterity.
- Dexterity affects the damage reduction from Bracing.

I concur that bulky Krokani shouldn't be one of the best races for Ninjakari monks.
I'm not sure about those changes though - if it scales heavily we might end up with Aslaran ninjas all over the place.
I think Krokani have too much dex.

Seems there is a misconception with believing a ninja must be lithe, skinny, small, or whatnot. Besides, who said we are ninja?

A seven-foot-four guy that weighs three-hundred and something pounds is not going to be as good at being stealthy as, say, a four-foot fairy person. Imagine a krokani trying to duck into the shadow of a doorway.

Wait, so you want to buff faelings? Fine with me

I'm just simplifying a bit. And it's a good shortcut for Ninjakari member.

I do like how a Ninjakari is a member of the Ninjakari who practices the skill of Ninjakari.

Well a Geomancer is a member of the Geomancers who practices Geomancy.
Or maybe we should just call ourselves ninjas!
