Chakram
Light Exotic Melee weapon
Cost: 20 gp
Weight: 4 lbs
Damage: 1d6 slashing
Crit: x2
Range: 20 ft.

The chakram is basically a disk, about a foot in diameter, with a bladed edge. It is whirled around about the forearm, then hurled towards an enemy. Its weight and shape make it unique among ranged weapons in that it is extremely hard to deter while in flight. If an effect (such as a wind wall) would cause a ranged attack to have a miss chance (not to be confused with concealment, which is unaffected), the chance is reduced by 75%. If the miss chance is 100%, it becomes 80% instead.

-edit-

Also..

So... yeah. I guess whatever gods (sorry, moderators) are watching can delete this.

I feel so horribly alone.... *sob*... :rolleyes:
