[QUOTE="nroug7, post: 6389581, member: 6780797"] Hello guys, I'm a relatively new player to this game who started playing 4 weeks ago, during that time I've spent alot of time reading through rules on magic items, feats, skills, etc In my current party there is a ranger who is doing much more damage than any party member against ALL enemies. We had a DM for a while who pretty much told us what our characters did based on our alignments (He viewed them as rules rather than guidelines) and pretty much scaled his party to our ranger who was doing ridiculous amounts of damage - That meant everyone else in the party was pretty much fodder. The ranger in particular was 7th level - I'm curious as to how he got his damage, as he claims he was firing 7 arrows at 6d6 each per turn - 2d6 for his bow, 2d6 for the range and 2d6 for his frost arrows The only way I could imagine him firing so many arrows is with manyshot and rapidshot used in the same turn with a splitting enchantment. (Which shouldn't be possible in 3.5 as Rapidshot uses a standard action and manyshot requires a full-action turn to my understanding) Something just doesn't click with me, am I just overreacting and looking into it too much or is there really something that doesn't add up here?
