Many of the rules you are questioning are things my group dealt with a decade ago however, some of the stuff you are questioning is getting me thinking and I appreciate that, even if there is a small group on these boards who for reasons best kept to themselves does not.I think your question in regards to the bow is an interesting one as it would seem to be the only ranged weapon where this cannot be done (even a sling in each hand would seem enough to get two bullets off). You can even attack twice with a greatsword in a round if your opponent gives you the "opportunity". Your idea of a -5/-5 (I would suggest -6/-10 so as to follow the same guidelines as twf) penalty as a general use of a rapid shot action makes a lot of sense. I suppose since it is so specific (applying to a single group of two handed ranged weapons), the creators thought not to worry. However, because rapid shot is fairly selective (Dex 13 and the Point Blank Shot feat), I think it should actually be there in the rules, even if -6/-10 is so strong a penalty that it overtly discourages it.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
