Split-Ray plus Flame Arrow?

[Hjorimir]

How do you all think the metamagic feat Split-Ray and Flame Arrow would work together?

Would you only produce one extra bolt or would each bolt be split?

Re: Split-Ray plust Flame Arrow?

Flame Arrow doesn't specify a single target - it states all enemies must be within 30 feet of each other.

It's ineligible for Split Ray.

Flame Arrow is not a Ray.

Note the lack of an 'Effect: Ray' line in the spell block.

Split Ray doesn't need a Ray. It needs a ranged touch attack that deals damage and specifies a single target.

Flame Arrow is a ranged touch attack that deals damage, but it doesn't specify a single target.

You could Split a Melf's Acid Arrow, for example.
