Quick question on rapid shot.

[Sensorghost]

If I have snap shot, greater snap shot, and rapid shot, can I make an extra ranged attack on an attack of opportunity?

The only relationship between Snap Shot/Greater Snap Shot is that it requires Rapid Shot as a prerequisite.

Rapid Shot gives you an extra attack during your action.
Snap Shot/Greater Snap Shot allows you to threaten and make Attacks of Opportunity. If you do not have Combat Reflexes you may only make 1 attack of opportunity per round.

I was aware of the relationship. What I would like to know is if on an attack of opportunity would I get a second shot? That would be with or without combat reflexes. A clearer example is: I have a bow using character that can make a ranged attack of opportunity against an enemy. Would he get 1 or 2 shots on that ranged attack with rapid shot.

nope.

Rapid Shot: "When making a full-attack action with a ranged weapon, you can fire one additional time this round. All of your attack rolls take a –2 penalty when using Rapid Shot."

An attack of opportunity is not a full-attack action, so rapid shot does not apply.

Sensorghost:

I thought I answered that but let me answer it a different way.

No.
Rapid Shot has no bearing whatsoever on your Attack of Opportunity.
Rapid Shot cannot be used during Attacks of Opportunity.
Rapid Shot does not apply to Attacks of Opportunity.

Rapid Shot can only be used when you are executing a Full-Attack Action. An attack of opportunity is not a full-attack action.

Clearer? :)

Or...what ninja Grick said. :)

"Rapid Shot (Combat)
You can make an additional ranged attack.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Point-Blank Shot.

Benefit: When making a full-attack action with a ranged weapon, you can fire one additional time this round. All of your attack rolls take a –2 penalty when using Rapid Shot."

You only get the extra attack on a full attack action.

Thank to all for the clarification.
