Shuriken

A Shuriken, or "sword hidden in user's hand" in a forgotten tongue, is a star-shaped throwing weapon. They typically have either four, five, or six (however other configurations can be found) sharp metal points sized and spaced evenly around the main circle. Shurikens are versatile weapons that may be thrown or used to stab in close-quarters, however the former is more common. When thrown correctly, they spin until hitting a target, in which one (or more) of the pointed sides impales the target. Often, rogues, assassins, rangers, and other agile types of combatants may be found using shurikens.
