11-09-05, 02:10 AM This is more of a "thought exercise" (you can tell im in college right, only there do people really talk like that :) ) than a real character, but I figured I would try.

The idea is to make a shuriken thrower the best he can be. I realize that TONS of shurikens are needed, and so would definatly need some kind of extradimensional space to hold them and would probably want the craft skill for fun too.

I figure this involves monks flurrying, rogues SA, and Master Thrower abilities. My thought is to have something like Monk12/ Rogue3/ Master Thrower5 (in that order to not run into problems with the monk level advancement restriction) with the TWF tree and rapid shot. This gives 6 attacks (flurry) plus 1 (rapid shot) plus 3 (greater TWF) for a total of 20d6 sneak attack damage that hits as touch attacks (MTw ability). Does this seem possible? If so, would this be considered an 'optimized' build, or just a fun one? Any build suggestions or exact builds out there?

This is my take on the concept.
