NO. I love my Oni. It's perfectly fine as it is. /unsigned.

Have you even read the mythology of the Oni?
Heavy combat styled? My Oni isn't a pet that manages to control itself and damage enemies while still mantaining good health. I don't think that's heavy combat stled.
Master Ninja? At least come up with something original.
1st powers - What use is Hide on a pet? Please, you use them for offensive. Without AS they're pretty much useless with Hide.
2nd powers - A bit overpowered IMO.
3rd powers - Very overpowered.
Sorry, just not a suggestion that I can find good in.
1 - it was drilling into my head
2 - hide is used on jounins and they preform criticals also
3 - theres not really a stealth concept for the oni, he tends to go in blazing and hackining away
4 - the master ninja concept says right next to it (couldnt think of anything else)
5 - I used Kuji-in sha and retsu because I didnt want to re-use any of the previos ninjitsu powers
6 - Kiji-in sha is a small self healing power, something I wouldnt class as overpowered being as a respite and a half would fix you up the same
7 - I admit the Kuji-in Retsu was a bit big, but thats what makes this one pet unique to the others.

If we need a replacment I'd go for something more in the style of the bosses from the Tsoo. We'd want something that doesn't do lethal. Oni is great because he does fire dmg and has holds and Aoe attacks. If you replace it with what you suggested it would mean a big power loss for Ninja MM's. Oni fills the gaps, your idea sounds like an more powerful version of Jounin to me.

read it up, and you know.
I think this far too often, but now its drilling into my head so now i have to say it, The Oni in the Ninjas Mastermind powerset doesnt really fit in, its more heavy combat styled, but I have an Idea for a replacement, if it should be removed
MASTER NINJA (couldnt think of anything else)
focused on Dual blades and Ninjitsu
1st powers - Power Slice, hide
2nd powers - Vengeful Slice, Assassin's blades, Kuji-in Sha
3rd powers - 1000 cuts, typhoons edge, Kuji-in retsu
I'm hoping this will acually happen, and not a waste of Dev time, but who knows, lets see what you guys think.
