Now, when I'm in a position where I need to RP out using my sword or gun I'll change jobs to Paladin or Machinist for the armor and weapon I need for that scene (since I have both classes leveled). ICly, she's not a Paladin or a Machinist either, but I use the classes for the weapons.
So if you like Monk or Ninja, play monk or ninja! Get the gear, dress your character in monk/ninja-esque gear, but then figure out what exactly they are. You say a lookout or scout, a Dhoro tribal who is stealthy and hunts unseen. I'd say this fits the Ninja and Archer aesthetic very well. Whether or not you choose to actually be a true ninja is up to you, or if you just want to use the skills and aesthetic in your RP.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out with this. It's much appreciated. Totally clears up what I was worrying about in terms of choosing a class/job. I love the idea of switching between OOC jobs in order to equip weapons needed for IC actions. It sounds like the ability to play multiple classes allows for much more flexibility when it comes to creating a custom class for your character.
Also, thank you again for providing helpful links. I'll definitely give them a look - especially the information on NIN and the lore on Eorzea's jobs/classes!
