Hi Folks !

I just created a Charatcer that wanted to rely very much on Shuriken
and discovered they are pretty weak in SR.

First: Why are they harder to hide than a throwing knife ??? Thats
ridiculous...

Second: Why are they as heavy as a throwing knife ??? They don't have
a grip and a lighter and thinner blade, usually.

Third: Why do they only do as much damage as a throwing knife ? The
rotation does not only give them more accuracy, it makes them much
more dangerous...

Fourth: Does anyone think any of the guys who made the stats for
Shuriken has ever seen one ? ;-)

In my eyes only the range is o.k. - has anyone of you already felt the
same ? How did you change the stats ?

Later,
Georg
