	The damage on the Katana is approximated out of some D&D notes I have
(I think from The Dragon).  The Shuriken is even more deadly than you think.

	As for throwing items while wielding a sword, I don't see any problem
at all.  Imagine, if you will, an average Ninja, holding a Katana in one hand
while throwing a few Shurikens at some offending beastie.  Quite realistic.
