Message: <blockquote data-quote="RigaMortus" data-source="post: 1695275" data-attributes="member: 1077">It is the same mechics as 3.0, but with minor tweaks.  For example, they removed the range restriction (target within 30') for applying Weapon Spec damage and Ranger's Favored Enemy damage when applied to ranged weapons/attacks.  In 3.0 it was clearly defined, it was in their descriptions.  Now in 3.5 it was removed.  Did they forget to put it in there?  Should we assume there is still a 30' ranged restriction to apply such damage?  No, it was omitted because WotC "tweaked" it.  I can only speculate, but they probably felt it wasn't that over balanced to do an extra +2 damage on every arrow in a Manyshot (not just the first arrow), to an opponent 500 feet away.  They "tweaked" Power Attack, allowined giving +2 damage for every -1 to hit using a 2Handed Weapon.I'm not sure what you mean about "pushing the issue".  My opinion, based on the 3.5 rules as I understand them, leads me to believe you apply Sneak Attack damage to each Ray in Scorching Ray (as the example we are using).  Obviously there are people of opposing opinion.  I am just wondering where everyone is getting this assumption from.  It seems everyone is applying old 3.0 rules to the new 3.5 system, which may not necessarily carry over like other "game mechanics" did.  IMHO, it only seems right that if you think something works a certain way in the Core Rules, there would be current (3.5) rules there to back it up.  I'm trying to find out the "correct" way Sneak Attack and Rays (and spells that fire multiple Rays) are handled in 3.5, as I do not want to build an Arcane Trickster for my upcoming campaign, only to find out it doesn't work the way I thought.I'm not asking people to look anything up for me.  But I do think it is fair that, if you are stating a rule as fact or official, you would have some 3.5 text to back that up.  Am I asking too much?  Sorry if that is unreasonable thing to ask for.I thought I was asking the pros by posting here.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Maybe I'll scour the FAQ, and if I find something noteworthy, I'll post it here.</blockquote>
