Maybe someone has posted about this already but I just recently saw the Revision SPotlight on the WotC website that included this little bit of info
Manyshot [General]
You can fire multiple arrows as a single attack against a nearby target.
Prerequisites: Dex 17, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: As a standard action, you may fire two arrows at a single opponent within 30 feet. Both arrows use the same attack roll (with a -4 penalty) to determine success and deal damage normally (but see Special).
For every five points of base attack bonus you have above +6, you may add one additional arrow to this attack, to a maximum of four arrows at a base attack bonus of +16. However, each arrow after the second adds a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll (for a total of -6 on the third arrow and -8 on the fourth).
Damage reduction and other resistances apply separately against each arrow fired.
Special: Regardless of the number of arrows you fire, you apply precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) only once. If you score a critical hit, only the first arrow fired deals critical damage; all others deal regular damage.
A fighter may select Manyshot as one of his fighter bonus feats.
A 6th-level ranger who has chosen the archery combat style is treated as having Manyshot even if he does not have the prerequisites for it, but only when he is wearing light or no armor.
So I guess this means the rumour that mentioned rangers having a 2 handed fighting AND an Archery feat path they can follow and that actualy goes through several levels is true. Maybe theres other "combat styles" as well. What does everyone think of this, and the other prospective changes(smallerhit die more skill points etc). What are some other Comabt Styles you think they might do?
