Yeah, but I was thinking more of the look - bandoliers of throwing
knives. The other thing that the thrower could have as a trick perhaps
is a trick that allows you to throw multiple objects at once, as long as
they're the same. Something like:

Rapid Fire:
You can throw up to three throwing knives or shuriken (or any other flat
throwing weapon) at once, giving your throwing attacks an effective ROF
3. Throwing this many at once adds a +4 (maybe +6?) modifier to your
attack difficulty, but you still get the bonus dice and multiple target
abilities that the ROF gives guns.

That sounds fine, but at the same time, almost all of the edges which
give you bonuses to persuasion only do so in certain circumstances, so
the +5 to persuasion isn't all that outlandish. I didn't intend to give
the impression that +5 was too much, just that under some circumstances,
someone else could easily get +5 to their persuasion through edges.
