(yes?) 2: Do i get to add my sneak attack damage? (yes?) 3: Can this be done with another archer, or with a ranged wizard spell like magic missle? (no?) Plan A:i think my best bet is to follow the fighter around,or at least stay close to him and shoot at whatever he hits. Plan B:i havent thought that far yet,i geuss ill run in,and ant accordingly. thanks again, in advance -soon to be the best archer thief/fighter ever-

If you declare a ranged ready attack then yes. If you ready a full round range attack, SA only applies to the first attack and skirmsh does not apply 2: Do i get to add my sneak attack damage? yes 3: Can this be done with another archer, or with a ranged wizard spell like magic missle? Since Rays are the only spells that benefit from PB and PS, and Rays are only Ranged touch. I would argue against MM, but I'm still deciding if Rays can do it. Other archers with SA and Skirm Plan A:i think my best bet is to follow the fighter around,or at least stay close to him and shoot at whatever he hits. Plan B:i havent thought that far yet,i geuss ill run in,and ant accordingly. It doesn't specify that you have to select a target it could be any ally hitting a foe.

(yes?)Yes. Plus, as far as what Greco said, you can only ready a standard action, not a full round action. Which means only one attack. 2: Do i get to add my sneak attack damage? (yes?) SA damage is added any time your target is flanked in melee or denied their Dex. So, yes. 3: Can this be done with another archer, or with a ranged wizard spell like magic missle? (no?)SA damage can be added to spells too, as long as they require an attack roll.
Dyax 10-19-07, 08:18 AM	So if i wanna help the fighter kill someone with dead eye shot,im only gunna get 1 attack on him? so if my base attack bonus is 11-6-1 and i wanna use dead eye shot,ill only get 1 attack right? i just want to be sure on this
goawayugh 10-19-07, 08:31 AM	Yup.Ready (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialInitiativeActions.htm#ready) The ready action lets you prepare to take an action later, after your turn is over but before your next one has begun. Readying is a standard action. It does not provoke an attack of opportunity (though the action that you ready might do so). Readying an Action You can ready a standard action, a move action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, any time before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character’s activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action. Your initiative result changes. For the rest of the encounter, your initiative result is the count on which you took the readied action, and you act immediately ahead of the character whose action triggered your readied action. You can take a 5-foot step as part of your readied action, but only if you don’t otherwise move any distance during the round. You can only make a single attack as a standard action. To make a full attack, you need to us a full round action.
Greco 10-19-07, 03:57 PM	Yup.You can only make a single attack as a standard action. To make a full attack, you need to us a full round action. I meant to say many shot not full round sorry guys.
Greco 10-19-07, 04:02 PM	1: whats the differance between declaring a ranged ready attack and a full round ranged attack? I posted the wrong thought 2: do i get all my attacks for declaring a ranged ready attack? -like if i use rapid shot- No you can only do this with Many Shot because Many shot is a Standard action. 3: and can i add my sneak attack to all of my attacks,if i declare a ranged ready attack? Useing Many Shot only the first arrow that hits counts 4: and why does sneak attack only apply to the first attack for a readied full round range attack? I posted the wrong thought.
