Point blank shot questions and spells

Arcanus

First Post
How does point blank shot work with multiple attacks with spells?
Specifically Flaming bolts from relics and rituals where you make ranged touch attacks and get several missles you can throw in a round.

Would you only add the bonus in once within 30ft for the entire spell or would each missle that hits do extra damage?

How exactly does Produce flame work?
Do you ever get the chance to throw more than one flame a round? Do you have to have multiple attacks a round to do it?

Same as it would with multiple shuriken fired in single attack: only one attack roll get's the bonus damage, but all of them would get the attack bonus (if the targets are within 30 feet).

You get one attack that fires several missiles. Like a sneak attack, point blank shot will only apply to one missile per attack.

You pick one of the missiles and it get's the extra +1 damage. All missiles fired at targets within 30 feet will get the +1 attack bonus.

If you have multiple attacks in the round you can make multiple produce flame attacks, even multiple ranged attacks. If you have point blank shot, the bonus will apply to any attack against a target within 30 feet.

thanks Crothian but I don't really feel that this has made me understand anything.

I want to know if I can use the feat on spells each time during 1 particular spell that I roll multiple attacks with.

Kinda like magic missle but I roll to hit and you get one more to start with at first level. Lets say I have 5 how would point blank shot feat work with this? does each one of the five get +1 to hit and damage?
 

Sorry, I misunderstood the complexity of the question. Luckily, Caliban was able to step in and expalin it perfectly. Thanks Caliban, and sorry Arcanus I failed to help you.
 


Uhm..Caliban...

..where does it say only one missile out of a volley shot with Point Blank Shot gets the +1 damage bonus? Says here in my PHB:"You get a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet" :confused:

Check the Sword and Fist, page 68. The Sidebar on Rules Clarifications states that Sneak Attack and the Ranger's Favored Enemy damage only applies once to a single attack, even if you make multiple attack rolls. When firing multiple missiles in one volley you can only aim one of them precisely enough to get the bonus damage.

In the D&D FAQ the Sage includes the bonus damage from Specialization in this, and the bonus damage from Precise shot would also fall into that category.
