Manyshot, very very confused!

If all that applied to melee attacks, I might agree with you. But we're talking about archery, where it takes contrived circumstances to prevent an FAA.

The arrows in the surprise round instead of one is a huge difference for our ranger archers... It doesn't help rogues MUCH, but it helps.

Many shot is great in surprise rounds, or when you have to move into a room to get a shot, or when you have a readied action.

We use readied actions all the time, and my archer would love manyshot (he's dead now, otherwise he'd have taken it as his next feat). It's the only way you can get multiple "attacks" during a standard action... how can you say that's not cool?
