I thought there was a spell you could cast that made items fragile, but I can't seem to find it.
The only thing I can think of is using a knife-thrower build who only throws Goblin Dogslicers or weapons made of brass and stone.
Thoughts?
If you could find a way to throw 9 fragile shurikens in a round that all stack 1d4 bleed damage.. well, you could really make something pretty annoyed. Especially if each shuriken was also poisoned and any doing sneak attack damage gained 1pt of str damage on top.
Edit: Title change. I confused Splintering and disposable. Here they are in full.
Splintering Weapon
Your fragile weapon works to your advantage, breaking off fragments in wounds you inflict.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1, proficient with weapon, weapon made of "primitive material".
Benefit: Whenever you use a melee or thrown weapon with the fragile weapon feature or similar quality and hit an opponent, you can give your weapon the broken condition to deal that opponent 1d4 points of bleed damage.
Disposable Weapon
You ignore the limitations of your equipment, striking harder despite the damage it does to your weapon.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +1, proficient with weapon.
Benefit: Whenever you use a melee or thrown weapon with the fragile weapon special quality to score a critical threat against an opponent, you can give your weapon the broken condition to automatically confirm the critical hit.
I never looked into this feat, so the weapon needs to be "fragile"/broken to begin with? I thought at a glance it became broken/destroyed as part of the feat?
Ummm with enough ranks in weapon smithing couldnt you make your own breakable shuriken?
You can also use bone which makes items nice and cheap.
And if your small, you only throw 1 pt shurikens anyways. I'll have to look at bone and obsidian.
