I have a player who is looking into the class and we are in disagreement over this little detail.
Now this is where we disagree. I say that one can't use Manyshot because it says that its a single attack that takes a standard action. He says that since its exactly like sneak attack in all other ways, you get to use it but only apply it to the first attack.
I want to make a fair ruling on the matter, so who is right?
Ranged Precision (Ex): As a standard action, an initiate may make a single precisely aimed attack with a ranged weapon, dealing an extra 1d8 points of damage if the attack hits. When making a ranged ...
Unlike with a rogue's sneak attack, the initiate's target does not have to be flat-footed or denied its Dexterity bonus, but if it is, the initiate's extra precision damage stacks with sneak attack damage. Treat the initiate's ranged precision attack as a sneak attack in all other ways.
