Major Disipline:
 
Sweeping Star/Dart/etc : Training : clipping the grass : In one
deftlly smooth motion of the MA arm(s) the MA can throw as many Minute
Throwing Weapons (MTW: stars, darts, etc ... equivalent weapon to fit
between the fingers of the MA) as they have adds in MA. If used on one
target, the damage bonus is the MoO for the number of weapons thrown.
If used on more than one target, the MA can choose how many MTWs go to
each target, obviously the MA can't attempt to hit more targets than he
has adds. The only Multi-Action penalties exist for multiple targets,
the throwing of all the MTWs is considered one attack. 
 
Training:
Clipping the Grass : DN : MA: 15 : The Martial Artist is required to pluck 8 specific blades of grass from a grass field (or
equivalent). Once the Master has pointed out the 8 blade, the MA sweeps
both arms over the area, catching and breaking each blade of grass
inbetween a different set of fingers. They must be plucked from the
same height. Should the student have the required blades of grass (4 in
the left, 4 in the right) with the required length, then the student
has mastered the required skill.
 
Essentially this disipline allows a MA to use thrown objects as a
major offensive tool. My only question is whether I should leave it the
way it is or to eliminate the Mulit-Action penalty all together. After
all this is a Major Discipline of a MA. Those aren't easy. By the time the MA can even attempt this
skill, they'll have at least 5 adds in MA, thus they'll be able to
hurl at least 5 small objects at something. Considering
poision/shock/small-explosion MTWs, this could be major.
