[QUOTE="jjf, post: 4626370, member: 82047"] The need to spend an extra minor action loading each shuriken bummed by Rogue out, and seems to either severely limit this power or make it entirely dependent on getting a particular feat (Quick Draw) to make it work right. So here's the House Rule I proposed. I want to get my players' feedback and yours before putting it into effect. ===== RATIONALE 1) The PHB says: and: 2) I [B]hate[/B] the Xena Warrior Princess boomerang effect. It's stupid. If magic daggers fly with that kind of unerring accuracy, you should never need to roll to hit. Just pitch it in the general direction of your foes and go make a sandwich or something until it comes whistling back. ===== RULE The Rogue must have a crossbow, sling, or light thrown weapon equipped when she starts her attack, but [B]the drawing of additional ammunition, including light thrown weapons, is built into Blinding Barrage.[/B] In other words, the Rogue without Quick Draw is not limited to targeting only two foes (one for each hand). In exchange, nix the Xena rule. Your magical thrown weapon returns to you after you throw it, but it does not zip around the room and hit all the targets. You still need to throw other missiles. After rolling all your attacks, you may designate which one receives the attack and damage benefits of your magic weapon. ===== Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
