Lotus Crane 05-27-07, 12:12 AM	Do you mean Rapid Fire or Rapid Shot? If it's Rapid Shot, then no: extra attacks are only possible with a full attack action; most spells, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities are their own standard action. If Rapid Fire is an actual different feat, then I don't know.
Kaladon7779 05-27-07, 12:22 AM	I Ment Rapid Shot, sorry for the confusion Basically, if you have a higher BaB like +6/+1, or have Rapid Shot which gives you an extra attack, can you take more Acidic Splatters per round? Acidic Splatter You can channel magical energy into orbs of acid. Prerequisite: Ability to cast 2nd-level spells. Benefit: As long as you have an acid spell of 2nd level or higher available to cast, you can throw an orb of acid as a ranged touch attack. The attack has a range of 5 feet per level of the highest-level acid spell you have available to cast and deals ld6 points of damage per level of that acid spell. As a secondary benefit, you gain a +1 competence bonus to your caster level when casting acid spells.

Under reserve feats it states unless otherwise stated it requires a standard action. Does this mean that this is only a standard action? Or could you take multiple attacks since it says nothing about having to use a standard action, but merely states hitting with a melee touch attack. Which any wizard or sorceror would have two such attacks at higher levels? As a related subject...is there a Quicken Supernatural Ability feat? Are there any feats that could increase the use of supernatural abilities? Or enhance them?
Lotus Crane 05-27-07, 12:49 AM	Basically, if you have a higher BaB like +6/+1, or have Rapid Shot which gives you an extra attack, can you take more Acidic Splatters per round? No. Rapid Shot can only used with ranged full attacks; it doesn't even apply to ranged standard attacks. For example, a character with a BAB of +6/+1 with the feat could full attack at +4/+4/-1, but he could not standard attack at +4/+4. Unless it specifically states otherwise, most spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities are assumed to be standard actions. Acid Splatter is a standard action that can't be used to make full attacks, so Rapid Shot doesn't apply to it.

Under reserve feats it states unless otherwise stated it requires a standard action. It is a supernatural ability that requires Standard Action because it doesn't state otherwise. So, you spend a standard action and, as part of that action, make 1 melee touch attack.
