Are there any magic items that are particularly beneficial/useful for a dagger throwing halfling? I can't find anything that strikes me as particularly helpful (except gloves of dex, obviously).

Pale Green Ioun Stone - +1 competence bonus on attack rolls (and saves, skill checks, ability checks).

Belt of Giant Strength +2, +4, +6 - would increase your damage but is expensive for what it will do for you.

You could have something akin to Bracers of Archery (Greater/Lesser) for throwing daggers made if you're DM likes the idea.

Gloves of Tarnheim, I think the item is called, grants returning on any weapon you throw while wearing them.

Depends on how nice your GM is since most Magic Items are more towards the Archery side of things.

Possibilities
DMG - Scabbard of Keen Edges (16k)
Similar Scabbards can be priced using this as a basis for giving 3/day weapons Enhancements. See Quiver of Energy below.
Complete Arcane - Belt of Many Pockets (11k) - Good for storing an obscene number of daggers and/or other throwable goodies
Complete Mage - Horizon Goggles (8k) - Far Shot Feat for free.
Complete Psionic
Quiver of Energy (16k) - +1d6 of certain energy to all normal items placed within it for at least 1 round.
This is definitely good for mass dagger-throwage if converted to a) Magic, and b) Daggers. Similar to the concept for the Keen Scabbard, since it's basically all the various types of +1 equivalent energy types. If I was the DM, 16k for 3 uses a day isn't exactly breaking it. Especially when you consider the cost for higher level versions (+2 = 36k if Scabbard Cost = 8 * Enhancement cost. This could be negotiated with especially if the weapons are essentially one-use only in an encounter)

Efficient Quiver (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#efficientQuiver) (it is called something else in the DMG but that is not OGL)

For those times when you just ran out of daggers

60 darts, 18 javelins and 6 spears and it weighs just 2lb.

My rogue/master thrower used to swear by it because there's some things you just don't want to throw your dagger of returning at (ever since that incident when a rust monster melted the ranger's intelligent weapon)

What book is that in?

Also, I should mention that I have level 8 starting gold.

The Gauntlet of Infinite Blades would be very helpful to you.

It costs 6,500 GP, creates a dagger in your hand as a swift action, and allows you to create magical daggers a couple of times per day.

Page 101 of the Magic Item Compendium.

Cool, thanks. I'll see if I can get my hands on the MIC. Also, if anyone's interested in helping out my build, I posted it over here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=846005). Thanks guys!

I'm thinking about putting the Explosive enchantment (CW) on the weapon. That would be fun, huh? You think I could enchant it as a melee weapon (cheaper in this case) and just-so-happen to throw it? In its pricing it doesn't mention anything about what the case is for a weapon that can be either type of weapon.
