[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 511105, member: 4937"] Lela: I can only shake my head in disbelief at a post like that. I fear there isn't much I can say to that. If you can't recognize that firing an arrow faster than you can swing a sword is ridiculous IRL, I can't help you. Sometime get your bow out and get a guy with a foam sword to swing at you while you are trying to fire. Or try to scramble backwards while firing while the same guy is trying (trying? HA!) to run you down with a sword. Not that it matters to this discussion at all, but for the record, yes I've seen the movie. (Have you seen the movie? What a laugh.) Hypersmurf: Overlooked that one. Yes, you can't ready a full attack action. Which brings up things like multishot. My archer can move backwards (or sideways, it doesn't matter so long as I can get at least 10' from you) and fire arrows continiously, and the best you can do is try to keep up and make an occasional one swing per round. Why did someone think a multishot feat was a good idea? Would someone publish a feat like 'Springing Full Attack: You can take a move equivalent action and a full attack action on the same round.' How about 'Springing Charge Attack: You can combine a charge attack with a full attack action'. Wouldn't those be a great feat? Think of the tactical possibilities it would open up! Wow, the mind boggles! l33t!!!!!!!!!! Bah. [/QUOTE]
