Questions about Soulbow and weapon feats

[Kylas]

Im trying to figure out which feats benefit my Soulbow the most. Im planning on taking Psionic Shot. I also have 4 levels in the Pyrokineticist which give me the Weapon Afire ability.

Does basic Manyshot allow me to add twice the damage from Psionic Shot or Weapon afire?

If no does Greater Manyshot Allow this?

At 4th level Soulbow you have the ability to attack while in a threatened square without provoking AoO. If I don't have the Precise Shot feat and attack an enemy that I am flanking with my ally do I get -4 for "shooting" into melee. Am I threatening at this range since I don't provoke AoO

Lastly does Two Weapon Fighting allow me to make an extra attack with my Mind Arrow.

Is this question offensive, overly complex, or too uninteresting. Am I making some sort of forum faux pas? Does no one even wants ridicule me...

Manyshot and Greater Manyshot allow you to make more arrow attacks. It does not double damage.

Yes

No threats with a bow.

No.

I know it doesn't double yor damage. What I meant was, at the first chance I can use Manyshot I will be able to nock ( read: be ready to project) 2 mind arrows. what I'm asking is if weapon afire or psyonic shot is applied to both arrows. I know there is a rule about not ading precision damage but those abilities are not precision based. And if and when I get Greater Manyshot do I apply the abilities to each arrow since it allows you to roll each arrows attack seperately.

Hmmm. Ok I can see that but, \/

Just want to make sure, you have read the description of the class? And you do realize that it doesn't actually have a bow? Instead it 'manifests' arrows as a free action... I thought the links would make it easier, lemme just pull out the relevant quotes directly.

Mind Arrow (Su): As a free action, you can create a semisolid arrow composed of psychic energy distilled from your mind. If your base attack bonus is high enough to grant you multiple attacks, you can create multiple mind arrows as part of an attack. You must have one hand free to create and project a mind arrow.

Also, lower on the page

...Feats that grant additional attacks, such as Rapid Shot, allow you to create additional semisolid arrows of psychic energy as needed to make additional attacks.

Emphasis mine. That is why I suspect TWF applies. Since multiple arrow can be created based on your attacks. Any reasoning behind why it would not work?

 

[Dandu]

TWF is for melee attacks. You're using a Mind Arrow which is a ranged attack.

 

[Kylas]

Isn't there something about monks with shiruken being able to make multiple ranged attacks? What about dual wielding daggers? Can't TWF allow you to make multiple attacks with daggers? Or any thrown weapon? I don't think it's restricted to only melee attacks. I'm making an off hand attack and as long as the hand is free it should still be a valid attack.

While using Flurry of Blows, not Two Weapon Fighting.

Yes.

No.

You are making an offhand attack with your Mind Arrow? Really?

 

[Kylas]

Sorry for the Monk mix up but I meant while using TWF. According to SRD you can use TWF for off hand attacks with thrown weapons.

Two-Weapon Fighting
If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. You suffer a -6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a -10 penalty to the attack with your off hand when you fight this way...

And then a little farther down the page.

...Thrown Weapons
The same rules apply when you throw a weapon from each hand...

Thrown weapons can be wielded for TWF and used to attack.

Mind Arrow (Su): As a free action, you can create a semisolid arrow composed of psychic energy distilled from your mind.

Create mind arrow as a free action.

...You must have one hand free to create and project a mind arrow.

Create them in both hands. Now I'm wielding them.

If your base attack bonus is high enough to grant you multiple attacks, you can create multiple mind arrows as part of an attack...

BAB is high enough to allow me to attack with 1 off hand attack. Other TWF feats would allow me to use multiple off hand attacks with the arrows I create. It seems like it fits the rules and there isn't any thing specifically restricting any part of the process between creating the arrows and attacking with them.
Time is not an issue. I can create arrows in my hands as long as they are free and I can project as many arrows as I have attacks.

Rules Compendium pg 148

under

Two Weapon Fighting

Ranged Weapons
The same rules apply when you throw or fire a weapon from each hand, as long as the weapon you're using doesn't require two hands to fire.. . . .

Same table including use of two weapon fighting feat.

So it appears as if you can indeed use two weapon fighting with ranged weapons as long as they don't require 2 hands to use and the two weapon fighting feat can apply.

BAB has nothing to do with being able to attack with your off hand.

A high BAB allows mutiple atacks when using the full attack action - using your primary hand, otherwise a fighting wielding a greataxe would never be able to make multiple attacks per round.

If fighting with two weapons you can make a single off hand attack (using the table penalties) and improved two weapon fight (and such) allows you to make additional off hand attacks while still making allof your primary attacks - albeit with penalties.
