Please make manyshot a stance

[Angelus_dead]

Here's a point at which v3.5 sacrifices a lot of realism.. the only penalty for firing using Manyshot, without the Shot on the Run feat at a dead run is another -4 to hit. I have enough trouble knocking an arrow at a walk, let alone knocking two or three while sprinting.

But in D&D if you're not running, you can just make a longbow full-attack anyhow, and get the same number of arrows-per-round without using a Manyshot feat.

The full attack is at -0, -5, -10, -15, for an average of -7.5 attack, while the Manyshot is at -8, -8, -8, -8, for an average of -8 attack. Therefore, D&D characters don't even gain DPS from manyshot unless they were planning to move while fighting.

PS. The word to rest an arrow on a bowstring and prepare to shoot is spelled "nock".
