Are you playing a Master Thrower?

I still say a great opportunity was lost in not naming it the master tosser.

In my campaign, which has little asian influence, shuriken are available but are specifically small throwing daggers, not stars of any sort. Monks are also theurgists, mages of the body, again with little asian character.

Shuriken are now ammunition in 3.5, which means, among other things, that you can throw them as often as you have attacks. It also means that the enchantment cost of one shuriken is 1/50 that of a regular weapon... but the shuriken is expendable.

I had not noticed that, the weapon section of 3.5 our dm almost ignores (I also hate the whole weapon size crap in this new addition, makes the dm's life hard and the players of non-medium characters' life hard as well without adding enough to the flavor I think). If that's the case then all my problems are solved and I will just use shuriken.
