It specifically states in the Complete Arcane that you can use Precise Shot & Point Blank Shot for Eldritch Blast. I was wondering if you could also use other ranged combat feats (Rapid Shot, Shot-on-the-Run, etc.) for it as well? Thanks.

nah because its not an attack, its a standard action, SLA.

much like you can't rapid shot a wizard's ray.

Neither of those can be used because they both say "attack action." Eldritch Blast is a spell like ability, and thus requires a standard action to invoke. An Attack Action =/= a Standard Action, though it requires a standard action to attack.

No.

Read the actions required to use both of those.

(Literally 90% of the rules questions I see can be answered by reading the rules. At least half of those are answered by looking at actions. Like this one.)

Ah, but 100% of rules questions can be answered by posting here. It's far easier to remain ignorant than to spend the time reading the rules.

Accually I would look in the book for a rule, than I'd ask another player, than I'd ask a stranger walking down the street before I tried to get a rule verified on these boards, because the majority of the posters here only understand what they want and make up the rest.

/sarcasm

You could never find 100% of the rules here more like 10% than there's 90% of the way the poster wants it to be.

Well, enough people here have links to the SRD in their sigs that you get all the rules by proxy.
