Changing Manyshot

[Kabol]

Improved Many Shot ( think thats the name ) is found in the XPH - it allows many shot where each arrow it targeted - thus can apply precision based dmg and i assume multiple targets.

Personally, I'd favor replacing the entire effect with adding a d4 to damage for every attack which takes a -2 to hit, expending two arrows, ala Double Tap. (I'd allow damage bonuses from magical arrows to stack.)

I'm considering making it a precision-based attack instead, since firing multiple arrows off a single bowstring offends me-- and so that Rangers can be skilled combatants at range with non-bow weapons.

My problem w Manyshot is that the description is cheesy - firing multiple arrows at once should have big damage penalties as well as STR - but changing it to "rapid fire at a single target" keeps the mechanics & gives a much more satisfying image. YMMV

I believe it stands for "eXpanded Psionics Handbook". Seems like a weird place for archery feats, but...
