Message: <blockquote data-quote="drunkadelic" data-source="post: 1717467" data-attributes="member: 4020">I'm playing my first 3.5 fighter, and went for the PrC Order of the Bow initiate.The question i'm about to ask is concerning the following feats/abilitiesRapid Shot (w/improved rapidshot from CW)ManyshotRanged Precision (the level one ability of OotBI)Point Blank ShotAlright, I've never claimed to have a high INT score personally, but I'm pretty sure that I can use the following in tandem as a full attack:Point Blank Shot + Rapid Shot (as long as i'm within 30ft)That would give me, including the improved rapidshot, an overall +1 to hit/dmg on however many attacks (-2 rapid shot, +2 improved rapid shot, +1/+1 PBS) I hope.Now for the questions.1. The way I read it, I *think* i can apply my ranged precision damage to one of those attacks using rapidshot. The way I read it, it says i can apply this damage to a "single ranged attack" - since at my current level i'm making three, I would delegate this to be the attack with the highest to hit bonus, and that's how i've been playing it. Is this correct?2. Can manyshot be used in tandem with Rapid shot (and perhaps PBS) on a full attack designation to fire 2 arrows, per attack? This seems unlikely, but my curiosity is what brought me here.3. One of my friends in our group says there is an improved manyshot feat in some book that allows a person to roll the multiple arrows of a single attack seperately. Does this mean that If I were high enough level to shoot the maximum 4 arrows, that I can change up my single attack, for four attacks (albeit horrible minuses to hit) that has the chance to confer sneak attack damage on every arrow? If manyshot *can* be combined with Rapid shot, this could potentially give a character 16 attacks, all sneak attacked. (4 base attacks at high levels, 4 arrows/base attack) This also seems highly unlikely, and lends to my personal feeling that manyshot is an ability that can not be used on full attack in tandem with rapidshot. (But is still wicked good in tandem with shot on the move and boots of striding and springing)4. One final similar, but unrelated question. Our artificer friend improved my bow to be a bow of distance. I don't have the 3.5 dmg with the new explanation of that ability, but he thinks it would allow my point blank shot and ranged precision abilities to function at 60ft instead of 30, due to the enchantment doubling bow ranges. This seems a little off to me, because it would be emulating my 10th level PrC feature if that worked on my ranged precision attacks/sneak attacks. It may, however work on PBS.Thanks for bearing with me!</blockquote>
