D&D 3.x Shuriken have changed in 3.5E

I don't think Flurry and Rapid Shot stack. They're essentially the same effect (trade a -2 penalty for one extra attack), except that the monk version works on a different set of weapons.

TWF definitely does not stack with Flurry, even if you could use it with ranged weapons, which you can't.

They all stack, as has been shown before, and with the sheer cost of it for the benefit gains most of the time it isnt worth it ;) With a pretty hardcore min/maxing it might become too strong, but then the same can be said for most anything in exceedingly specific circumstances.
 

Don't forget a wand of Flame Arrow and Keen Edge and GMW and Good Hope (to hit despite the -X for flurry, TWF and Rapid Shot). Hmm, which one did I miss this time?
 


An official ruling that says letting the books do what they say they do is ok?

Do you have something that says that they 'dont' stack? Or some reason why they shouldnt?
 

In all those arguments about dual-wielding crossbows, it's been clearly established that TWF doesn't work for ranged weapons. If you want to play it some other way I won't argue with you-- that's a can of worms I'd prefer to stay out of.

if you say so, I must have missed all of those threads. Just reading over the feats and items in question I see no reason to disallow it. Perhaps someone found some rule buried somewhere deep in some misbegotten hole, but as hyp generally keeps track of such holes it may not be so cut and dry as you are making it out to be. But then, hyp does have bad days sometimes ;)

Yes it does, as long as you are using monk weapons. You can flurry and get an offhand attack with two kamas, for instance. A 1st level monk could get 3 attacks, at a -2, -2, -4 at best.

Don't forget, the feat Two Weapon Fighting doesn't give you any abilities. You can still use two weapons and get an offhand attack without TWF, you just have larger penalties.

I think it is in the FAQ. In 3.0, you couldn't because of the wording for the TWF feat. However, in 3.5, it lets you. You can use the TWF feat with two ranged weapons, providing of course you can hold them in one hand.

EDIT: For instance, you can fire 2 light crossbows, one in each hand, in a round. Light crossbows have a -2 penalty for firing with one hand, with the TWF feat, you could fire 2 at -2, -4.

A heavy crossbow has a -4 penalty for firing with one hand, and they are also medium sized weapons. Firing one in each hand with the TWF feat would give you a -6, -8 penalty to hit.
