Deepwood Sniper and "Take Aim"

[Kershek]

The "Take Aim" ability says this:

Take Aim (Ex): A 4th-level deepwood sniper can gain
a +2 bonus on her attack rolls against a stationary target
by aiming carefully. Taking aim is a full-round action, and
if the target moves more than 5 feet during that period,
the bonus is lost. No additional benefit exists for spending
more than 1 round aiming. This bonus increases to
+4 at 8th level.

It says it's a full-round action, so I would have guessed that this +2 bonus is only for one arrow. However, it says "+2 bonus on her attack rolls" plural. So does this mean you can attack with your full attack bonus at +2? If so, can you use Rapid Shot? If it's only one arrow, can you use Manyshot (I'm thinking no because Manyshot is a standard action).

It would appear that once you've taken aim, you get +2 to all attacks until the target moves.

I think it means you spend a full round action doing nothing, like an assassin studying a target for a Death Attack. After that, every attack roll you make, for any number of rounds, gets the bonus... until he moves out of that square.

You're basically "sighted in" on a particular 5' square.

That makes sense. It's the "during that period" phrase that leads me to believe that the bonus is only during the full-round action, which is confusing.

Hmm. Could you aim carefully at a certain 5ft square without seeing it ?

Indirect artillery coming in!

Would the bonus apply if it were used in conjunction with the Manyshot feat?

As long as they don't move, sure.
