[QUOTE="Elvinis75, post: 1151335, member: 4379"] By the rules fine. However it makes no logical sense. Just a thought guys. If firing a bow once is an attack action and firing it multiple times is a full attack action. Both of them are still ranged attacks as defined. Shot on the run allows a make [B]an attack with a ranged weapon [/B] and still move before and after. Multishot allows the firing of multiple arrows (bow only) as a standard action. I know that this is not the same thing as an attack however consider the differences between MS and all other Standard Actions. 80-90% are excluded from even being a possibility. Why not a spell, magic item, or SN ability? Because they are not “a ranged weapon”. Not just an attack at range but it must be a weapon. A bow is the only weapon that applies to MS. In my mind it is very much common sense that a bow doesn’t stop being “a ranged weapon” if multiple arrows are fired out of it at the same time. So it is still “a ranged weapon”. Finally we come back to SOTR. MS is not multiple attacks. It is an attack. One attack roll. The bow that fires that volley of arrows with a single release and is still a ranged weapon. Thus rules over-examining aside(official or not) the common sense is very common. Single shot with only a bow is a perfect match. The number of arrows on the string isn’t a factor. If someone can show me some other common sense I’d be willing to listen. So far I haven’t heard it. The bag o rat and whirlwind GC worked BTR if you ignore common sense to. Azazu use the rules that make sense for your campaign. If you are curious it is one thing but yet another to blindly follow rules that don't seem to make sense. All of course IMHO. [/QUOTE]
