This is a special ability I added to the ninja from the core class ninja out of the Rokugan book.
Void Power, Hundred Shuriken Throw:
At 5th level, a ninja with this ability is able to focus their Void energies into making lightning quick attacks with the shuriken. This power requires 2 Void points. The player declares that they are using this ability as a full round action. The character may then throw a number of shurikens equal to their level. The shurikens can be thrown in two differend ways; either all shurikens are thrown at one target, one dice roll at the ninja's highest BAB determines whether they hit or miss; or the ninja may split the number of shurikens thrown in half, and attempt to hit two targets that are adjacent to each other. Two attack rolls using the ninja's highest BAB with a -5 penalty are used to determine if the shurikens hit.
I have let several players use it, and so far I haven't felt it has been too powerful. Since shurikens do 1 point of damage, even a 20th level ninja would only do 20 points of damage. The real ability comes in if they are allowed to cast enchantments on the shurikens, or to use poison, etc. Now I find this to be completely allowable, and when used appropriately it makes the ninja a very efficient attacker.
Any thoughts?
