Well, I was going to say that I thought Rangers got trip, but then I saw you were talking about ranged attacks.

Personally, I'd like to see Called Shot introduced and have it do different things such as stun, knockdown ('trip'), etc.

I can't think whether there's a 3.5 source for the concept, but in general, it's something along the lines of:

Take an attack penalty, if you still hit, you deal more damage than normal.

The theory being that you say ("call") that you're going to aim for your target's eye/groin/soft parts/throat/etc. giving you a smaller target, and thus the to hit penalty, but potentially dealing more damage.

Heh i asked for something like this awhile ago. Though i preferred to call it a stance where you take a minus to-hit for more damage (pretty much power attack for bows) then another stance that would increase your attack speed but lower damage and To-hit.

That's really what Multishot should be.

[Kire]

Multishot? do you mean manyshot?

~Kire

[MysticTheurge]

Multishot? do you mean manyshot?

Oh yeah. That.

(D&D has altogether too many ___shots. Rapid Shot, Manyshot, Point Blank Shot, Far Shot, Precise Shot...)

[Kire]

Haha no problem. I thought many shot was a decreasing attack bonus per arrows your shooting?

~Kire

[MysticTheurge]

Yeah but more arrows = more attacks in the same amount of time = higher attack speed.

I remember going from 2nd edition to 3rd.. My players just could not get it through there head that there was no called shot rules in 3rd edition... still aren't.

But I have known GMs to make their own House rules on this.

Rangers do not need a boost... RANGED COMBAT DOES.

Now that's the truth.
