Shot on the run question

[Hypersmurf]

You can't use Rapid Shot in a surprise round. Nor with a readied action. Nor can you reposition yourself more than 5' and use Rapid Shot. Manyshot is not worthless.

I'm playing an archer at the moment, and... hmm, not last session, but both sessions before that (both combat-heavy), I found myself repeatedly saying "I wish I had Manyshot!"

The nature of several of the combats meant that I was using readied actions to attack a whole lot, or having to move more than five feet to get a shot in. I think in those two sessions, I would have used Manyshot more often than I would have used Rapid Shot.

On the other hand, our last session took place in a featureless plain, so Full Attack actions with the bow were plentiful.

But I certainly couldn't declare Manyshot useless, because I was feeling its lack a few weeks ago!

Well, if you are correct, you basically took away the one and only good use I have ever found for Manyshot. What a worthless, pointlessly nerfed feat.

Um, it hasn't been nerfed (not that way, anyway), and I haven't taken anything away.

Manyshot has never been usable with Shot on the Run.
