Called shot and Manyshot

Can you use Many shot with Called shot? Especially with the called shot feats


Called Shot says, "...is a single shot made as a full round action, and thus can't be combined with...a full-attack action."

Manyshot says, "...when making a full-attack action with a bow..."

Maybe that's why no one replied before now. The big "NO" was written right there in the rules for you. =\


Oops, I've been using Manyshot as just the first attack I take. Even if combined with a move action.

Cyberdrift, I seem to remember something about clustered shots being able to deal damage for all arrows for called shot. Not sure where I read it, maybe someone here can clarify or you can find it.

Easy to do, in 3.5 Manyshot was a standard action, and couldn't combine with Rapid Shot. For PFRPG, it changed quite a bit.

After reading the Greater Called Shot feat, it says, "Whenever you make an attack, you can choose to replace that attack with a called shot. You can make multiple called shots in a single round."

I'm going to assume that means if you want to make a full-attack action with Manyshot or Clustered Shots, you can replace all your attacks with called shots. It will increase your penalty to hit for all shots after the first, but it seems to be a RAW way to fire two arrows at once as a called shot.

I think that the clustered shots will allow cumulative damage to determine if the crippling threshold is met. Normally each hit needs to do 50ish damage to cripple with called shot. Clustered shot may allow the damage to be added together.

Thanks, I feel a little better about it. I'll have to mention it tonight at the session. I think I'll just nerf my damage for awhile.


K Thanks I was mainly wanting to clarification on how it interacted with the new feats(improved called shot, greater called shot). Nice idea throwing the Clustered shot in there with it had not thought of that yet.
