Many shot + rapid shot + BAB 7: How many shots do I get?

[jason schultz 848]

I need some help on this. Do i get 5 shots all together in a full round?

[Jiggy]

You get three attacks. Two of them at BAB +7 and one at BAB +2, and all of them with a -2 penalty. The first of those attacks uses two arrows (I assume you're doing all this with a bow, yes?) in order to deal some extra damage, but it's still just one attack.

As stated, 3 rolls, 4 arrows

ok thanks that was a bit confuseing.

[Jiggy]

No, Manyshot only gives you the extra arrow on your first attack - it says so right there in the feat.

[Corren28]

Um..no?

Iterative attacks: BAB 7 2

Full attack action:
First attack: +5 (2 arrows [many shot])
Second attack: +5 (1 arrow [rapid shot])
Third attack: +0 (1 arrow [normal attack])

If for some reason you aren't taking a full-attack action you cannot use Many or Rapid shot.

Edit: Ninja'd! That was meant in response to Jason, not you Jiggy. :P

On a semi-related note, I've always wondered and always forget to ask. Can you stack the benefits of rapid shot with haste?

Indeed you can. You can also stack with boots of speed.

With haste or boots of speed you can make four attacks, with the first attack shooting two arrows.

Mmmm, rangery deliciousness. And my group always claims bow rangers are weak and underpowered...

[Adamantine Dragon]

LOL, heck, my archer druid is a force to be reckoned with when using her bow. Rangers make her look lame.

Really? Now you've got the tools to show them how wrong they are. Stack all this above with a common favored enemy (humans or evil outsiders) to really ramp up the damage.

Heck, I had a crossbow ranger in Curse of the Crimson Throne--my DM had to take me aside to let me know I was killing things too fast for the front-liners to be having any fun.

I frequently have my archer druid spread her arrows around to multiple targets so that other party members get the final "kill" on their attacks. I especially like softening up targets for the party sorcerer to knock off with his magic missiles. He gets a big kick out of it.
