Manyshot 1 attack?

[Kapalen]

When I use manyshot is the first actual manyshot the only attack I can make or can I use the manyshot and then shot three more arrows assuming I have the BAB to do so? I doubt it, but it does say in PHB you can attack once and wait to see what happens before making a full attack. If I can do this, could I also do it with the ObBI's ranged percision damage? ALso could I combine MS and the RP attack?

Many shot is a Standard Action.

To make multiple attacks, you must use the Full Attack Action.

You can't combine a Standard Action with the Full Attack Action.

That answers that, but can I use the precision damage on the manyshot attack?

Yes, but only once, as stated in the Manyshot feat.

Be more clear with your working. Precision damage, such as Sneak Attack and Skirmish, do add to Manyshot. But the Order of the Bow Initiate's class feature Ranged Precision is a different case. I direct you to the current D&D FAQ.

Can an Order of the Bow initiate (Complete Warrior, page 68) use Manyshot (Player’s Handbook, page 97) in conjunction with his ranged precision class feature?
No. Both of these options require a standard action to use, and thus can’t be used in conjunction with one another.

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that limitation on the class. Kind of unfortunate, the 3.5 version of the class seems kind of sub-par. (Of course the 3.0 version of kind of uber.)
