[edit] Other Components

<- anything not covered by the previous sections ->

• This won't work.
• Weapon Specialization requires fighter level 4.
• Greater Weapon focus requires Weapon Spec, and Fighter level 8.
• Rogues don't get a bonus feat at Level 1.
• How can a 5th level character with wealth by level afford a weapon which has a cost of at least +2? (+1 for damage, Distance is also a +1. Total cost of +2 for 8000 gold): A general DM rule of thumb is to not let players have any item which costs more than half of their total wealth.
  • Shurikens are priced as ammunition, so +2 shurikens are a paltry 800 a peice.

[edit] Highlights

<- How and why this build works ->

[edit] Munchkin-Size Me

<- Take it to the next level ->

• Throw in quickdraw, 2 weapon fighting feat tree, and flick of the wrist. At BAB of 5 or lower, you get 2 thrown weapons. At BAB 6/1 you get 4 attacks etc.

If your shurikens are 'returning' you'll get them back at the start of your next turn, though you'll be unarmed between turns. (As a hint if you want to take an Attack of Opportunity)
