[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 730458, member: 3987"] Okay heres another table. D20 Roll is the roll need to hit with a normal attack % change in damage is the average expected increase for using rapid shot so 100% would be the same damage, 200% would be double, 50% half a normal attack, etc. The number in brackets is the penalty for Rapid Shot. [code][color=white] D20 Roll % change in % change in % change in damage (-2) damage (-3) damage (-4) 2 178.95% 168.42% 157.89% 3 177.78% 166.67% 155.56% 4 176.47% 164.71% 152.94% 5 175.00% 162.50% 150.00% 6 173.33% 160.00% 146.67% 7 171.43% 157.14% 142.86% 8 169.23% 153.85% 138.46% 9 166.67% 150.00% 133.33% 10 163.64% 145.45% 127.27% 11 160.00% 140.00% 120.00% 12 155.56% 133.33% 111.11% 13 150.00% 125.00% 100.00% 14 142.86% 114.29% 85.71% 15 133.33% 100.00% 66.67% 16 120.00% 80.00% 40.00% 17 100.00% 50.00% 50.00% 18 66.67% 66.67% 66.67% 19 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 20 200.00% 200.00% 200.00% [/color][/code] Now considering that if a balanced encounter you often need at least a roll of 8 to hit the target with your primary attack, so really you need to be looking at the lower end of that table.
