D&D 3E/3.5 ranged two weapon style in 3.5

okay, under two wepaon style no mention of mellee only, under crossbows no mention of mellee only in fact it just says you get the two wepaon penalties as normal for size of weapon.

So now we can make the shuriken wielder of DOOOOOM.

flurry of absurd attacks
10,10,10,5,5,0,0 without bonuses.

I chose shuriken cause there ammo so one GMW boosts them all, while with dagger/hand axe sit would take a bunch of returning daggers/hand axes and or lots of GMW.
Still with the hand axe its good for mellee to so you got your versatility built into your design and you aren't quite the specialist. And hey no exotic prof so one bonus feat.

not overly powerful but a cool image IMO. I especially like the idea of hacking away and then throwing an axe with your extra attacks.

If when you say 'without bonuses' you mean 'without dex or feat bonuses' then your attacks should be at 8/8/8/3/3/-2/-2. The -2 for rapid shot and the -2 for two-weapon fighting stack for a -4. If you were counting the WF/GWF bonuses then you are right.

Also, you need to be Ftr8 (not Ftr6) for Greater Weapon Focus and Ftr12 (not Ftr8) for Greater Weapon Specialization.

While you're casting GMW on the shuriken, don't neglect 'flame arrow' for that +1d6 fire each.

ooopps on the levels I was going fom memory, but yeah I had added in the weapon focuses. i left out the point blank since that's situational.

Its not devastating but it is cool IMO. Up to 8 attacks wthout a haste or similar enchantment, I like this.

Overall though I'm just happy you can two weapon ranged weapons. Well mainly thrown weapons, I always liked the image of a two weapon throw. I read to many comics I guess.

The TWF descriptions says explicitely that it applies to ranged weapons.

Are there any other good buff spells for ammo like GMW and Flame Arrow now?

And the bards don't have GMW anymore...
