FAQ:
One of the players in a campaign that I run took the
Manyshot feat from the EL. His character gets three
attacks if he takes the full attack action, from a base attack
bonus of +6/+1 and the Rapid Shot feat. He claims that with
Manyshot he can fire six arrows as a full-round action. I
say he can’t, since the feat applies only to standard actions.
I think that the feat allows him to fire two shots during a
standard action as opposed to the usual single shot that is
allowed. Does Manyshot apply to full attack as well as
standard actions? I would greatly appreciate it if you could
shed some light on the situation.
You’re right about Manyshot. It allows the character to
shoot two or more arrows as a standard action. It does not allow
the character to fire two or more arrows in place of a single
attack. Standard actions can’t be combined with full attacks,
nor are they part of a full attack.
The example character has a base attack bonus of +6; with
the Rapid Shot and Manyshot feats, the character has the
following options:
• Fire one arrow as a standard action (at +6).
• Fire two arrows as a standard action (at +2—the second
printing of the EL says the penalty for Manyshot is –4, not –2
as stated in the first printing).
• Fire two arrows as a full-round action (+6/+1).
• Fire three arrows as a full-round action (+4/+4/–1, with
Rapid Shot)
简单来说虽然全回合攻击使用了标准+移动, 但这个攻击是将这2个动作合在一起进行的(另外一种意义的)动作, 而不是单纯的标准动作+移动动作. 你要Manyshot就必须耗费标准动作, 耗费之后你就只剩个移动动作, 不能用来做全回合攻击了.
另外Manyshot后面还有Greater Manyshot, 就算没开那么核心也有shot on the run. 此外还有只能做标准动作的情况.
补充一下, 你贴的那个蓝色的文字,跟我说的没有冲突. 砍下去的第一下并非是标准动作, 是否标准是在你决定是否全回合攻击之后的事情. 如果你决定全回合, 那么第一下后后面几下都是包含在全回合中的, 如果你决定移动, 那么第一下可视为标准. Manyshot则相反, 明确说了是个标准, 所以不能纳入那句话里面考虑.
