[QUOTE="Runestar, post: 4980926, member: 72317"] I think that quote from improved manyshot is a holdover from 3e, when a ranger's FE damage bonus was indeed considered precision damage. This should have been removed in 3.5, so you would be able to add the extra damage to each arrow fired while using manyshot. The 3.5 ranger entry does not make any mention of this either. As a general rule of thumb in 3.5, if you are making a full-attack, precision based damage applies to every attack you made. So the bonuses from point blank shot applies to each of your attacks (assuming they are all made on a foe within 30ft). However, if you are making multiple attacks as part of any action other than a full-round action (typically a standard action), then precision-based damage applies only to the first attack. So if you attack with manyshot or scorching ray, PBS applies only once, regardless of how many attacks you make. This is clarified in the rules compendium. [/QUOTE]
