Since a couple people have asked, a quick guide to Entro Ninjas:
Ninjas can only wield a few light weapon types without getting slammed with prohibitive to_hit penalties (check knowledge menu - weapon proficiencies for these). They can't wear shields for the same reason.
They have to wear to wear very light armor or penalties to speed and I believe they cannot go into stealth mode. If they're in the dark and keep moving, you'll see a 'stealth' label at the bottom of the screen, which will give you a huge to_hit bonus on your first strike against an enemy. Thus it's a very good idea to strike, withdraw one move, strike again and so forth. The Ninja's class powers help in this regard.
Check online help and hengband spoilers posted earlier in this thread for more info. Or ask. I'm not very good at entro.. I just happen to be more knowledgeable than anyone else that has spoken up so far. :P
