+====== Shuriken ======
+{{ rpd:images:item_Shuriken.png|Shuriken }}
+**Shuriken** are throwing weapons that can be used to attack enemies from a distance.
+==== Properties ====
+  * **Usage**: Thrown at enemies to deal damage
+  * **Durability**: Each shuriken is single-use when thrown
+  * **Speed**: Fast attack speed with DLY = 0.5f allowing multiple throws per turn
+  * **Damage**: Moderate damage (MIN: 2, MAX: 6) for a throwing weapon
+  * **Range**: Effective at medium range
+  * **STR Required**: 13 STR to use effectively
+  * **Price**: 15 gold per shuriken
+  * **Behavior**: Fast rotating projectile that moves in a straight line
+==== Advantages ====
+  * High attack speed allows multiple attacks per turn
+  * Can hit enemies that are several tiles away
+  * Can be used when trapped or surrounded
+  * Good for chipping away at enemy health before melee combat
+  * High rate of fire (very fast throw speed)
+==== Disadvantages ====
+  * Each shuriken is consumed after use
+  * Lower damage compared to melee weapons of similar level
+  * Requires ammunition
+  * Higher STR requirement (13 STR) compared to other throwing weapons like darts
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Useful for softening up enemies before engaging in melee
+  * Good for hitting enemies that are just out of melee range
+  * Effective against groups of weaker enemies
+  * Can be used while under the effect of certain buffs
+  * High rate of fire allows applying debuffs more frequently (like when used with enchantments)
+  * Often found in groups of 5-15 when randomly generated
