Effect(s) |
When making a full attack with a bow, your first attack fires two arrows. If the attack hits, both arrows hit. Apply precision-based damage (such as sneak attack) and critical hit damage only once for this attack. Damage bonuses from using a composite bow with a high Strength bonus apply to each arrow, as do other damage bonuses, such as a ranger's favored enemy bonus. Damage reduction and resistances apply separately to each arrow. |
Manyshot is a feat in Owlcat Pathfinder Games.

Notes[]
- Can be taken as a Combat Style (Archery) feat by Rangers and Slayers (but not before level 6).
- Works only with bows, not crossbows, which is a sound reason to choose the former over the latter.
- When character is hit by manyshot, their Deflect Arrows feat only deflects one of the arrows.
Strategy[]
Must have for a dedicated archer, greatly increasing DPS (for low level characters) without penalty. Early game this feat is most likely even more useful than Clustered Shots (both can be taken at BAB 6 only), so take it first.
Tactics advice: Manyshot allows mobile group of archers to deal significant damage with just one shot in a round, then retreat and shoot again next round.
