[QUOTE="atom crash, post: 1844445, member: 22162"] I've been thinking more and more lately that Manyshot is the most disappointing feat for archers. The Manyshot feat promises such cool things then utterly fails to deliver. Or only delivers in such a limited scope that it's not worth the feat. You get to fire multiple arrows but only get one to-hit roll; they either all hit or all miss. Plus, when they all hit, they count as [b]separate[/b] attacks for the purpose of overcoming DR. Is there any other feat that gives you [b]multiple[/b] attacks for a [b]single[/b] attack roll? And thanks to the slick wording of a smooth-talking son of a gun (all attack actions are standard actions, but not all standard actions are attack actions? and this [b]attack[/b] isn't actually an [b]attack action[/b]?), you can't use it with Shot on the Run. As a ranger, I'd be rather disappointed to get this feat as a class ability. Give them instead Point Blank or Precise Shot. or Shot on the Run. Something, anything, that is more universally useful. And to think Manyshot was one of the exciting new feats used to hype up [URL=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rsa/archive]the 3.5 revision[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
