My Nezumi Archer is certainly looking forward to getting it.Being realistic, which classes tend to be archers? Rogues and rangers. Other classes can do it, but the typical archer is a rogue or ranger. These guys have spot and listen as class skills. They also have hide and move silently. That *should* mean that they can get in a lot of surprise rounds. For surprise rounds, your best damage bet is manyshot when you're an archer (possibly the order of the bow initiate's precise strike would be better ...)Other than surprise rounds, when else would you wish to use only a standard action instead of a full round attack? Primarily, when you're fighting in a 'fluid' battlefield. An archer can not attack if his foes are moving behind total cover unless he moves to reduce or negate that cover. Also, in the open, a very fast archer (like my Nezumi archer with the quick trait from UA - move 50' base) can often unload a lot of arrows on a foe by firing a manyshot and retreating. By the time the running enemy catches up to him, he has buried them in arrows.</blockquote>
