A shuriken is a superior one-handed ranged weapon in the light blade weapon group.[PH:219]
A shuriken is a light thrown weapon, so a character can throw it as a ranged attack.
Monks and rogues are proficient with the shuriken.
Rogues with the Rogue Weapon Talent increase the damage die of the shuriken by one size (1d6). [PH:117]
Other classes do not have proficiency with the shuriken as a class trait, but any character can become proficient by taking a Weapon Proficiency feat.
