Manyshot / rapidshot question

[keaton13]

can the feats manyshot or rapid shot be done during the use of "Shot on the run"? if not are there any ways to get more then one attack using shot on the run or spring attack, I'm working on an idea I have and it would be nice to get an extra attack

[Cheapy]

Nope, there's no real way to get an extra attack from that that I'm aware of.

[keaton13]

I didn't think so, it'd be nice if there was, but I'm still happy with my idea so far.

Vital Strike comes close. Enjoy!

It can't. It can be used on a Shot on the Run though.

[keaton13]

That seems odd... because it seems like the same reason for vital shot to not be doable for a charge or spring attack would apply for a shot on the run.

"Vital Strike can only be used as part of an attack action, which is a specific kind of standard action.Spring Attack is a special kind of full-round action that includes the ability to make one melee attack, not one attack action. Charging uses similar language and can also not be used in combination with Vital Strike."

so I don't see why that would apply to spring attack and not shot on the run, I'm not complaining if so just seems... odd

[Bigdaddyjug]

Shot on the Run is a full-round action, so it could not be combined with Vital Strike, unless a recent FAQ changed the way Vital Strike works.

Majuba could be thinking about Flyby Attack, which does work with Vital Strike (it specifically allows any standard action).
