Shuriken

I am enjoying playing my newly created Ninja character. I decided to
try out the shuriken. They are almost useless because they only inflict 1
hit point to the target or am I doing something wring?

I tried poisoning them with lesser poison but they almost never poison the
target. I tried poisoning them with greater poison but my character only has
27 poisoning skill and could not successfully poison them with greater
poison.

All in all, shuriken are useless. If they were any good, the Elite Ninja I
hunt would use them.

Aren't you supposed to load a whole bunch into a ninja belt? I figured
you did that to get some kind of machine gun effect when using them.

They'll probably patch them eventually. Problem is they'll decide the
artwork is too huge so they will do 50pts of damage but they will be ring
sized and black in your pack. Sorry bout that. ;>

I think I will stick with my blessed Cavorting Club.

(Cavorting club? Isn't that where bachelors go the night before getting
married?)
