* OK, that's not quite all, to be complete. Spring Attack also exempts your movement from provoking attacks of opportunity against the foe you attack, which is also pretty important at times.
In both cases, all the feat allows you to do is split your move action*. Instead of having to Move then Standard Action (or Standard Action then Move), you get to Move, Standard Action, Move again, as long as the combined movement is no more than your movement speed.
To explain in more detail, half way through your move action you can make an attack as a standerd action. A full attack is a full round action so can't be used with this feat. Most mulipul attacks are full round actions (I haven't seen any that aren't) so you'll only be able to make 1 attack with those feats.
However, PHB2 has the feats Bounding Assult and Rapid Blitz which allow you to make 2 and 3 attacks respectivly during a move. They to require a high attack bonus however.
Hope this helps
To explain in more detail, half way through your move action ...
It doesn't have to be half-way. It can be at any point, as long as your combined movement isn't more than your movement speed. For example, if your speed is 30 you could move 5 feet, attack, then move up to 25 feet. You could move 20 feet, attack, then move 10 feet away. Whatever combination works for the current situation.

Yes, my bad. have a cookie

Multishot only requires a standard action, doesn't it? Sure, its not multipule attacks like a full round action attack chain, but its kind of close...

Yes thats true.
You just want a cookie too, don't you.
Alright, here you go.
Neither of those feats have anything at all to do with your ability to full attack. Why would you think that?
Well, I was curious about it because of the class feature Skirmish, which requires you to move 10 feet every round in order to gain the extra damage from it. So I guess you basically have to choose between doing a full-round attack and Skirmish.
Anyway, thanks for the answers.

More or less. There's a few options for you.
A) There's an item in Arms & Equipment Guide called the sparring dummy of the master. (page 137) As long as you're willing to dip one level of monk, it'll allow you to take a 10' step rather than a 5' step.
B) Complete Warrior has a prestige class called the Dervish. (page 25) The "Dervish Dance" class ability allows you to make a full attack and a move action, but there's some restrictions on it.
I believe there's a few other ways, but they aren't coming to mind at the moment.
As for skirmish, a good tactic(in my opinion) is to move 10 feet(or 20 feet if you have Improved Skirmish) and then use Manyshot. Of course it does depend on the situation and Shot on the Run/Spring Attack can still be useful.
Anyway, I have another question: When you're dual-wielding, you only apply half of your strength to the off-hand. Is the penalty the same, when you apply your dexterity to hit (by having the weapon finesse feat)?
1/2-STR applies to damage rolls with the offhand, not attack rolls. It also applies any time you use a light weapon, even in your main hand.
1. Lets you fire your shots at different targets, and
2. Makes every shot require its own attack roll.
Someone please check my memory/Rules Fu, but IIRC, having each shot make its own attack roll means that skirmish damage will apply to every shot.
If you don't have Expanded Psionics Handbook, the feat just happens to also be available in the SRD:
Greater Manyshot [General]
You are skilled at firing many arrows at once, even at different opponents.
Prerequisites
Dex 17, Manyshot, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit
When you use the Manyshot feat, you can fire each arrow at a different target instead of firing all of them at the same target. You make a separate attack roll for each arrow, regardless of whether you fire them at separate targets or the same target. Your precision-based damage applies to each arrow fired, and, if you score a critical hit with more than one of the arrows, each critical hit deals critical damage.
Special
A fighter may select this feat as one of his fighter bonus feats.
What if you have the pounce ability which lets you charge, and then make a full attack with all these. Can you use all these abilities at the same time?
Here goes:
How does ranged touch attack work? All it said in PH was that you make a roll as if it were a normal ranged attack, but at the same time you don't get the bonus from Dex or something. Also, can you deliever a ranged touch attack with a melee touch as well?
The second question is about skills, more precisely multi-class and prestige class skills. So, when you have a simple core class, you pay one SP for each of your class skills, and twice the amount for a cross-class skill (which you can't max out either), but when multi-classing what determines the max rank, the cost and so forth? I'm guessing you can for example max out bluff if you're a Rogue 3/Sorc 3, since both have the class skill, but what about skills like Spellcraft? Also, are the penalties less severe (if severe at all) for prestige classes?
Thanks in advance.
Oh, btw (I guess I should've stated this earlier), I play the 3.5 version.

A ranged touch attack is a ranged attack that resolves against the target's touch AC rather than their "normal" AC.
Your ranged attack is completely normal. You add your Base Attack Bonus, your Dexterity modifier, and any other bonuses or penalties (such as from on-going spell effects such as bane or from feats such as Weapon Focus).
Your target's touch AC is (more or less) equal to it's normal AC minus its armor bonus and natural armor bonus.
The second question is about skills, more precisely multi-class and prestige class skills. So, when you have a simple core class, you pay one SP for each of your class skills, and twice the amount for a cross-class skill (which you can't max out either), but when multi-classing what determines the max rank, the cost and so forth?

Also, are the penalties less severe (if severe at all) for prestige classes?
OK, let's stick with the rogue 3/sorcerer 3 example.
If a skill is a class skill for either of those classes, your max ranks is character level plus 3 (9 in this case). So, for example, skills such as Bluff and Spellcraft have max ranks of 9 for that character. Knowledge (religion) is not a class skill for either class, so the max ranks in that class are 4.5.
How much it costs to increase your ranks in the skill depends on the class in which you're taking a level. If you're taking a level in rogue, you spend 1 skill point for any skill on the class skill list and 2 skill points for everything else. So, for example, while taking a rogue level you spend 1 skill point to increase your ranks in Bluff and 2 skill points to gain one rank in Spellcraft. If you were to take a level of sorcerer next, you would only spend one skill point for ranks in Bluff or Spellcraft, because those are class skills for a sorcerer; however, if you also wanted to increase Hide, you would need to spend 2 skill points for each rank, since Hide isn't on the sorcerer class skill list.
If that isn't clear, just let me know what's fuzzy and I'll do my best to clear it up.
What I'm guessing though is, no. TWSA just allows you to make one attack with your off-hand.
