[QUOTE="Al'Kelhar, post: 732347, member: 7884"] I agree with green slime on this. Rapid Shot isn't the issue we're all complaining about - it's the fact that the missile weapon mechanic for d20 combat is widely perceived as granting those PCs who focus on it great combat advantages than those PCs who focus on melee combat. IMC I have kept Rapid Shot at -2 attack penalty, simply to keep it consistent with other multiple attack class abilities, like the monk's flurry of blows or the master of chains' whirling chain. (I like rules consistency). However, I have "nerfed" GMW so that it affects only one weapon and has a duration of 10 minutes per level. Your archer with Rapid Shot can be the Vulcan minigun of the party - mowing down "mooks" like they're grass - but come up against the main battle tank (BBEG with DR), he's all but useless and your own main battles tanks (the melee fighters with GMW on their greatswords) show their worth.
