question on Manyshot feat

[Belares]

Ok the feat Manyshot is a nice feat and all but can it do what we think it can do.

When you use the feat and get the extra shot(shots), you use the same roll for all the shots. Of course, if you have multiple shots it is the first shot. Then with that said do you get multiple shots, say you get 3 shots because you are 11th level? What I mean is the feat a full attack feat and you only get manyshot only.

Example: I am a 7th Ranger/6th Deepwood sniper (+21/+16/+11) with 3 attacks, rapid shot and Many shot. So can I use all of these in a full attack action? If so I get first shot (using Manyshot) to get 3 attacks at full attack (say +13 (+21-6(ms)-2(rs)=+13)) then I get 2nd shot (+14 (+16-2(rs)=+14)), 3rd shot +11-2(rs)=+9, then the rapid shot +21-2=+19 totaling 6 shots in the round? Is this correct and if so does the damage on the manyshot do equal amounts. For example I have a +2 comp. longbow of str (+2) so do I do 1d8+5 on each shot or is it just 3d8+5?

In the above example does the -6 for many shot go on all attacks or just the manyshot attacks?

Thanks.

Using the Manyshot is Standard Action so you can not use it in a Full Attack Action.

Ah i see it now..takes a standard action..thanks a bunch.

Yes, Manyshot is a standard action and therefore cannot be used with Rapid Shot. The beauty of Manyshot is being able to move and still fire more than one arrow at a time.

And you get full damage for each arrow, but precision damage for only one. (Sneak attacks, point blank shot, etc...)

The joys of Manyshot:

1) Surprise Round - when you only get a standard action

2) True Strike + Manyshot - what penalties to hit?

3) Ready Action - "Wait for it!"

I have overlooked the awesomeness of this feat! If you have favored enemy you get that damage on each shot as well..wow!

I may have missed it but if you get a critical it is still only on the first shot but the other shots hit normally, correct?

I really thought point blank would matter in all the shots as well but Tracerbullet42 points out it doesnt and I understand about sneak attack on the first shot only. Thanks again all!

Yes, a critical is only with the first arrow, not all of them. It does work well with Hunter's Mercy though, especially when trying to disrupt a caster.
