A Lethal damage based powerset with a few key differences from others. The biggest one is bleeding damage - this is either an enemy simply bleeding out, a robot leaking oil, a spiritual entity losing its bond to the plane, etc. Bleeding damage is basically a minor DoT that increases in damage and duration the more you hit your enemy with knife attacks. The attacks themselves do little damage - it's the bleeding that will do a fair share of hurt.

1: Throwing Knife - Ranged Minor Damage (Lethal), Foe Slow, High Bleeding
A quick knife toss that deals minor damage, but will slow down your enemy and make them bleed.

1: Toss Dagger - Ranged Moderate Damage (Lethal), Foe Slow, Moderate Bleeding
This heavier version of the throwing knife will deal more damage and bleeding and slow your enemy.

2: Rapid Toss - Cone Minor Damage (Lethal), Foe Slow, High Bleeding
You send multiple knives flying towards a group of enemies. Struck foes will take damage as well as bleeding.

6: Focused Accuracy - Toggle Self +ToHit
You concentrate on hitting your opponent more accurately.

8: Flaming Dagger - Ranged High DoT (Fire), Foe Slow, Minor Bleeding
You toss a flaming dagger that deals great damage to an enemy. However, the fire cauterizes the wound, causing little bleeding.

12: Shuriken Sweep - PBAoE Moderate Damage (Lethal), Foe Slow, Moderate Bleeding
You throw several shuriken in a circle around you, striking nearby enemies and causing them to suffer some bleeding damage.

18: Pommel Strike - Ranged Minor Damage (Smashing), Foe Disorient
You chuck a knife at an enemy, striking them in the head with the pommel. It deals little damage, but will knock your enemy silly for a period of time.

26: Exploding Shuriken - Aoe Moderate Damage (Lethal), Foe Disorient, Moderate Bleeding
You toss a shuriken into a group of enemies which explodes in mid-air, sending shrapnel flying everywhere. The explosion itself can disorient an enemy.

32: Throwing Frenzy - PBAoE Extreme Damage (Lethal), Foe Hold (mag 3), Fear (mag 4), Extreme Bleeding, Self -Endurance, -Recovery
Summoning great effort, you launch yourself into a frenzy, swiftly and lethally tossing daggers, knives and shuriken into every enemy around you. This attack takes a great deal of time to complete, but it will leave all enemies completely unable to attack you as they are turned into pincushions. Even those who shrug off the impacts will still be frozen in fear at your violent assault. After you have exhausted your supply of knives, you will be drained of all endurance and unable to recover endurance for a period of time.
