True. It also worked with a hand crossbow. Which means you could load, aim, fire precisely a couple of times per second. Drawing and throwing daggers is just as bad.I always wondered how it was supposed to work really, just in terms of consistency, as generally you need a minor action to draw a weapon unless you have the quick draw feat. If you have a magic weapon it's supposed to return to your hand automatically, but one presumes it would have to first at least reach the target, while the power suggests that your attacks are so fast that wouldn't necessarily be the case.
I can tell you why, in my case - it's no secret.It is also somewhat hard for me to understand why, if (A) is accurate, there is such a large contingent of people on enworld that played 4e and do not play 5e.
Those three shurikens are not being thrown sequentially for a total of 12 throws. You are literally throwing three of them with a single throw.My recollection is that, in 3E, one attack can throw up to 3 shurikens. Which means that a fighter with four attacks can throw up to 12 shurikens in a round. Does that mean that 3E shuriken throwers are supernatural?
Now, I lack the deep and intimate knowledge of 4e to make that call for myself. It does seem difficult for me to understand how both of these claims are consistently made!
Weirdly, I happen to make them on a fairly regular basis, yet get a lot of disagreement.

As far as a magic dagger is concerned, can't it leap out of the rogue's hand and hurl itself with blinding speed at the enemy?
I'm one of those who finds the criteria at work in some of these analyses curious.
