ok, I am bringing back a build for a modual I ran through in the past.
it is a throw TWF, based around insitful strike and palm toss/later two with one blow
fighter2/swashbuckler3/master thrower1.
now major problem, at start with TWF, rapid shot, and palm toss, a full attack burns 10 daggers. other than bags of holding or returning daggers (10 returning daggers is a bit much to ask at level 6) how can he carry the daggers to last more than 3 rounds.

Well if you add 4 levels of bloodstorm blade in the future you will only ever need one dagger since it will come back after every attack.

Toss some ninja stars too until you can pick your knives back up? (sorry my - and - keys do not work)

Bonus if you can find my keys

In addition, the gauntlet has 5 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges creates a more potent dagger than normal, as described below.
1 charge: +3 dagger.
3 charges: +3 dagger of seeking.
5 charges: +3 bane dagger of seeking (choose the creature type and subtype, if needed, when activating the gauntlet).

I have the feeling TWF is not stacking with Rapid Shot.

Actually they do stack though so do the penalties.

Poor wording on the TWF-part.

Yeah, you want BSB sooner or later. It's much better to use a +5 Dagger 10 times, than to throw 10 +1 daggers (for about same price)

For only 500 GP more, pick up the Gloves of Endless Javelins instead (7000 GP, MIC p. 194). Free action to activate, infinite supply of +1 force javelins. Ignores DR, incorporeal, ethereal, and triple the range of a dagger.

He wants to palm throw and you can't palm throw javelins (or at least I don't think you can).

There's a bit of wiggle room in Palm Throw, but it requires an amiable DM:



When using little thrown weapons (darts, shuriken, and daggers; the DM may allow other weapons)

If you want to avoid ToB and stick to a more rouguish build, Wisperknife from Races of the wild has a similar feature and comes with lots of nice tricks like extra attacks, ranged flank, poison use, SAdice, and a DEX based death attack.

Ok my guess the (,) and (.) keys.

+1 for 4 levels of Bloodstorm Blade.

What about a weapon with the returning enchantment? It might not be every attack but you can obtain them pretty easily. (Or 4 levels of bloodstorm blade, that works too.)

Actually it was my 'g' 'h' and ''' keys :smallbiggrin:

Whisperknife makes using returning daggers more spiffy iirc
