Spring-loaded Wrist Sheath and Shuriken, what are the advantages if any?


Advice


So drawing ammunition, which shuriken count as is a free action, so having ten of them in a spring-loaded wrist sheath (which can hold 1 pound of ammo, of which 10 shuriken equates to) and dispensing them as a swift action, does what for me?

I don't understand any obvious advantages as far as actions go, there's the +2 to conceal the sheath but that's about it.

Anything other then rule of cool having one of these would do for me?


Wrist sheaths were not really designed for shuriken. Shuriken already have special rules for drawing them so using a wrist sheath does not gain you anything. It was meant for things like daggers or other weapons that are not a free action to draw.


Actually, if you were to load your shuriken into a spring loaded wrist sheath it would slow you down as it would take a swift action to release.


I think the only reason would be for separating specialty shuriken and hiding them on your person to some extent.. I guess?

Also. I suppose visually could be cool. Where it shoots them all up into the air and you grab them and throw mid air stuff...
but yeah.

Shurikens aren't really involved in quick release sheaths honestly. Shuriken already count as ammo.. meaning the fastest drawing action in the game really.
Spring sheaths are really for weapons not ammo style items.
