Prerequisite: Dex 13, Point Blank Shot

Required for: Manyshot, Improved Rapid Shot

Specifics: A character with this feat gains an extra attack per round with a ranged weapon (excluding crossbows). When a Rapid Shot is attempted, the extra attack is made at the character's highest base attack bonus, but all attacks within the round suffer a -2 penalty.

Use: Combat mode
