Magus (Eldritch Archer) and Point Blank Shot

[AayLith Naja]

Hello,

I have a question about how the bonus damages from Point Blank Shot works with the Ranged Spellstrike ability of the Eldritch Archer Archétype.

By using this ability, I mays cast Ray of Frost and deliver it through a ranged attack with a bow, but does the arrow and the spell benefit from the bonus damages of Point Blank Shot ?

The Manyshot feat allow the character to fire 2 arrows, and i've seen that both receive the bonus even if there is only one attack roll.

Yet Ranged Spellstrike looks the same as Many Shot, or is it closer to fire a Arrow of Frow (and thus receiving only one time the bonus).

Because Spellstrike specifically says you combine the weapon attack and the spell and the Eldritch Archer uses identical wording for that portion of Ranged Spellstrike, the answer would be yes. Just like with Alchemist bombs, Weapon bonuses only apply on the direct target of your attack, not splash or area targets.

You should also check out the Ultimate Magic FAQ for other clarifications to other Magus questions. There are a lot, it's easy to get turned around.
