ok i was wondering if you can use manyshot while using the sniping option of the hide skill. it says you get one attack and that hiding after is a move action. so does that one attack equal a standard action?

Using Manyshot is a standard action, it says so in the text of the feat. So I would say you can do it. But any extra damage from sneak attack only applies to one arrow.

Unless you have Greater Manyshot.

Well, the sniping thing is really just re-iterating that you need to hide as a move action or as part of a move action. And if you do it after attacking, you take a -20 penalty (this is the new part). So if you manyshot, you have a move action with which to hide.

Yes, I think it should work fine.

Manyshot = 1 Attack (of 2 to 4 arrows)

No, wrong, manyshot=1 standard action, not one attack. There is a difference. This means you cannot use Manyshot with Shot on the Run.

Hmm. I'd say Manyshot is an attack, and it is a standard action. Its just not the "attack action." :)

SotR requires the attack action, so manyshot doesn't work. Sniping just says you make an attack, which manyshot should qualify for.

Right, hence why I said so earlier.
