when I buy Shurikens at the Ranged weapon merchant in Hlint, he says the cost is 0 gold. Haven't bought them elsewhere yet, so no idea if it's everywhere they say they are for free.
I do pay 1 gold though, so problem there, just a cosmetic thing.

There is nothing we can do about this unless you wish to pay 50gp for the stack. There's no middle ground. So we accept the cosmetic issue.

Aye; they either cost nothing for each one (which still takes 1gp out of your pocket), or they cost 1gp for each one... Which ends up, in a stack of 50, being 50gp.
Zoom.

I'd happily pay 50 gold for the stack if they worked the way they were intended. As they stand, they are a thrown weapon that does not get strength bonuses. If I'm not mistaken, D&D rules allowed for multiple shuriken to be thrown in a single round. Otherwise they seem pretty underpowered. Is there anyway to improve them, so that they are closer to the pen and paper version? Having them grant haste along with a movement penalty might do the trick if it permitted additional throwing attacks, but that seems a very ugly solution.

Haste would also grant a bonus to AC and to Attack, I believe... So that's a no-go. Maybe just giving an extra attack, if that's possible (I believe in you, Orth!).
And allowing the STR bonus is a given; come on, now. It's a thrown weapon. Have you ever chucked a shuriken? More strength behind it means more damage when it hits something, be it a wooden target, your uncle's shin, your uncle's cat... Anything.
