Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sigma" data-source="post: 78819" data-attributes="member: 3066">I don't see how they are that different.  Flury of Blows allows you to get an extra melee attack if you use the full attack action, receiving a -2 penalty for the lot of them.  Rapid Shot allows you to get an extra ranged attack if you use the full attack action, receiving a -2 penalty for the lot of them.  Granted, Flury of Blows works because it's basically allowing the monk to act as if he has TWF and Ambidex for his fists, and Rapid Shot isn't providing the extra attacks in the same manner, but mechanically they are the same.  Lightening fists allows the monk to make 3 attacks as a full attack action, thus it does not stack w/flury of blows.  Crack of Doom allows the Lasher to make 2 attacks with a full attack action, thus it should not stack with Rapid Shot.I would need to see the exact text of the Crack of Fate/Doom to really comment.  My gut reaction was to say that they don't stack because they're both full attack actions.  However, upon rereading Rapid Shot, I see that it is triggered by a full attack action, and does not replace that action like Whirlwind Attack or Spring Attack does.  That makes me belive that if Crack of Fate/Doom is worded similarly (occurs when a full attack action is executed) that they might stack after all.  Ultimately, I think a lot of my doubt comes from the sheer crumminess of S&F.  I think that Crack of Fate/Doom were meant to be limited versions of Rapid Shot that could only be used with whips.  I don't think it's clear that they do (or don't), and without an official clairifcation, I'd rather err on the side of caution.</blockquote>
