Heavy Shuriken Thrower (3.5e Equipment)

Shuriken throwers are similar in appearance to crossbows, but the firing mechanism is designed to fire shurikens rather than bolts. Shuriken throwers generally have a third the range of similar sized crossbows, but deal more damage.

The SRD only gives a means to determine costs and weights of weapons for Large and Small versions based on the Medium weapons. Any other supplied values are the author's best determination.

Shuriken throwers require shuriken for ammunition. A heavy shuriken thrower is reloaded in the same way as a heavy crossbow, and counts as a crossbow for the purposes of feats and magical enhancements that specifically affect crossbows.
