Shuriken

Shuriken, often called throwing stars, are small thrown weapons. They do as much damage as a thrown dagger, and are considerably more concealable. Ornamental shuriken can often be worn as jewelry and not recognized as weapons, and a pocketful of shuriken weigh no more than many other single weapons.

However, shuriken require their own weapon proficiency, which is not related to any other.

Weapon Specialization confers the usual benefits. To learn shuriken proficiency, one must study with someone who has it, and must have a weapon proficiency slot to spend.

Shuriken are available in oriental ports, but most occidental collectors don't know how to use them.
