Gunslinger, Rapid Shot and haste.


Rules Questions


Ok, So for this lets say im reloading as a free action and have haste on me. Lets say im using a simple musket.
Haste gives me an extra attack, With that extra attack, can I use Rapid shot with it and with the first attack. For something like 4 shots, at full BAB(including the negative from modifiers like deadly aim and such.)
So it would be fire, Reload, Fire, Reload, Fire, Reload ,Fire
This is for Pathfinder society.


You're making a full attack, so I can't see any reason why you couldn't use Rapid Shot at the same time and fire three shots, all at a -2.


3 attacks or four?


Rapid Shot is used once per Full-Attack action, not once with each attack within that action.

Core Rulebook, Feats, Rapid Shot wrote:
When making a full-attack action with a ranged weapon, you can fire one additional time this round.

So, one for your normal shot, one for Rapid Shot, and one for Haste. Three attacks.


Ok, that is where I was confused, Thanks.


Good clarification here. I have a related question:

Let's take a level 11 Gunslinger, which has three iterative attacks: +11/+6/+1.

With Rapid Shot, he could do +9/+9/+4/-1.

Could he instead just fire his main attack plus the rapid shot, only two shots at +9/+9, or must he take all four?


You can stop wherever in the attack sequence you like.


The rules say you can make one attack, then decide if you are going to full attack or so something else.

But with feats that apply a penalty to all attacks (Rapid Shot, TWF, any others), it is only fair that you state the use of the feat first, make one attack with the penalty, then decide if you are going to full attack.

Once you are committed to full attacking, you can forgo any attacks you don't wish to make.
