Musketmaster reloading clarification


Rules Questions


Hi all,I have a Musketmaster (Lvl8) that uses a single barrel musket,and is reloading form alchemical carts as a free action,

should I be able to make 2 attacks (one per normal attack with a free action reload in between) or is it only one shot per turn.

If I have (for next level) improved snapshot,can I make free reloads [see above alc carts]immediatly after the AOO as a target changes range from 15 to 10 to 5.

sorry for lack of dets,im at work....


Assuming you have Combat Reflexes (the ability to make more than one AoO per round), you could make attacks any time a creature provokes. Moving into a threatened square doesn't provoke (so not at 15). Moving into 10 would provoke, and moving into 5 would provoke. As long as you can reload as a free action, you would get two attacks.


I dunno, free actions can normally be taken only on your turn, so there's a fair question if he can reload after an attack of opportunity.

Then again, I think bowmen with combat reflexes and snap shot can draw arrows after AoOs, is that a free action? That'd be all the precedent we need I think.


The FAQ talks about Snap Shot and Attacks of Opportunity. LINK

The movement would only provoke one AOO. From the PRD: Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn't count as more than one opportunity for that opponent.


I stand corrected. At least for this scenario.

2, assuming you're making a full attack.

3, with Rapid Shot or Haste.
4, with both.
