I have a distinct impression that WotC has given chakrams official treatment as an exotic weapon of some sort, since googling it in the Wizards website gives official sample characters with exotic weapon proficiency (chakram) and the like. However, I'm not sure what the source of it is. Anyone know where chakram info can be found?

It is in Arms and Equipment Guide, I don't know if it got updated.

Look in the XPH. Under Thri-Kreen. It's not a "chakram" but close enough. It is still a death frisbee. Or the AEG, that's probably have the actual chakram.

MM2 has the thri-kreen thrown weapon (chatkcha) deal 1d6 20/x2 with a reach of 30 ft. Not worth the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat, but maybe the XPH one is better.

Actually, I think the MotP Annulat is closer to the Chakram. Anyway, why should it be updated? The dice haven't changed since 3.0.

I seem to think it was in a Faerun book, as I was looking around my friend's the other day. It was much less impressive, 1d4 20/x2 I believe.

It was printed in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, but by and large it's a weak choice compared to most other ranged weapons.

Planar Handbook, not MotP for the Annulat.
