I have been in too many campaigns over the past ten years where my *returning* weapons didn't quite work right. I just have no problem in the renewing cost personally, specially with a friendly caster in the party. You are right that, in theory, those returning weapons of fire are nice but I have just found that my system works better for me. I still have the wizard cast gmw (you can hit up to 50 ammunition). Also when something breaks my dagger I'm not sol. Maybe my gms have just been more difficult than some. We come up against things that sunder a lot. I just prefer to pay a little bit more for not having all my eggs in one basket. I also like having *lots of options* I can carry a lot of throwing blades and have some with poison, some flaming, some frost, some bane, whatever. I handle my character more like an archer. Also, if there are ways of making ranged daggers or whatnot ki compatible (and I know there have been) then it is only logical that you should be able to make a gauntlet or gloves that let you transfer flaming ability to shuriken in the same way.I agree that YMMV but mine has made me one of the most successfull characters in a couple games. One game we went down to one of the hells, we knew we were going there so I made sure I had a lot of holy throwing blades. You want to see evil beasties squirm, I used them as intimidation. They were in the open on my person and during our 'discussion' with the outsider big bad guy I kept flicking them into his concubines to make my points. Ranged touch attacks are also really nice I find.Also the gloves that make them returning...works just fine here too. 50% of all the ones you miss with are going to come back to you. Also, I must admit that I just like the look from the movie Desperado and Onion where the knife thrower was *covered* in blades. It's definitely a style build, but I have never found myself at a disadvantage and we went pretty high levels. Maybe it is because I didn't depend on it, with twf and itwf I could do quite nice damage with my two katars as well.</blockquote>
