If this was a ranged ONLY thing, giving it a d10 damage would be fair, but it isn't.
I like the advantage of it, you can stand and fire off throwing disks with the blade until the enemy closes in melee, a single attack, after which you can retaliate with a full-round attack.
Making it competitive with bows and crossbows just doesn't make sense, if you want ranged power get a greatbow or something like that. .
but if you want a super hybrid this is it.
A strong level one character would deal 1d4+3-4 already better than any regular crossbow or bow.
And it only gets better the higher level you get.
Edit: Ohh and the disks should weigh 1-2 lb. per stack of 5 and not 2 apiece.
NICE ARGUMENT! I BET IF IT DID 1d10 DAMAGE IT WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE RIGHT!?!?! AND NO OTHER WEAPONS CAN BE DISINTEGRATED!!! YOU SO COOL!
