[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1850172, member: 478"] @billd91: Sorry, but there really is no ambiguity. SotR can only be used when using the Attack Action, which is a limited form of a Standard Action (it is one particular Standard Action). MS is a Standard Action, but it is neither the Attack Action nor an Attack Action (it's another particular Standard Action). It's an attack, however (which is important for Invisibility, for example). Manyshot is on the same level as the Attack Action. Standard Actions: -Attack -Cast a Spell -Drink a Potion -Use Manyshot -... While you can substitute a special attack (like Trip or Grapple) for an Attack Action, you cannot substitute another Standard Action for the Attack Action. It's the same reason, why you cannot use Dirty Fighting or Circle Kick with the Full Attack Action, since using them is a Full Attack Action by itself (thx Hyp :)). The only problem here is that some people do not see the difference between Standard Action and Attack Action as defined in the rules, but it's not a problem with the rules, they are unambiguous.
