Soulbow, for reference (http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20060403a&page=2). I want to know if anyone has any ideas for getting a high number of mind arrows from a soulbow. I know multishot works for an additional mind arrow. Does two weapon\multiweapon fighting work for mind arrows?

Yes it does, as do any other ranged weapon feats that would work on any ranged weapon (ie, you can use Rapid Shot.) Extra attacks with mindarrows are acquired the same way extra attacks with anything are, although with some limitations for being a ranged non-bow weapon. You can still get one more from a Haste effect, at least.

Or don't worry about it and be a Multiweapon Fighting Thri-kreen. Or a TWFing Dvati.

I'd say it does. Real physical bows only require two hands because of the design/motion.

EDIT:
The above poster pegged it.

If you get Splitting and Exit Wounds, you'll multiply your number of attack rolls by ~4 in most cases...pew pew pew!

Cite on exit wounds and dvati. I can never find dvati, and I collect stupid things to do with bowz.

I'm not sure about exit wounds, but Dvati are in the Dragon Compendium.

Doesn't Exit Wounds require you to attack other people though, which is kind of situational.

Exit wound is in Complete Warrior.

Exit Wounds is in CWarrior page 134. It allows a 2nd attack against someone in the line of effect past your initial target. That enemy gets a +4 AC from cover from the first.

too bad that uses the same missle, instead of creating even more mind arrows.

Can you dual-wield Bows by having 4 arms? If you do, should one of them be a Short Bow so your TWF penalties are lessened? :smallbiggrin:

You can. But as a soulknife, your soul arrows could also be soul daggers. And I think the shape doesn't affect the damage at all.
So you need only one hand to attack.

So beyond multishot the two/multi weapon fighting line and haste any way to get more mind arrows?

Two Weapon and Multiweapon would both give you more attacks, as would Rapid Shot. Multishot, being a standard action and not combinable with the above full round actions, would not.

err, rapid shot.

Also, does manyshot take a paragraph to say "you can full attack with a bow as a standard action, all shots use the same attack roll, all shots must target one target in 30 feet" or am I missing something.

Rapid shot is in no way a full-attack, so thins like Rapidshot don't work with it. It only mimics some features of a full-attack in the sense that it gains an additional arrow shot for each 5 BAB.

Alright, assumeing I have this all rights,

Thri-kreen Racial (I think Monstrous Humanoid) 2/Soulknife 2/soulbow 8/full bab class 8 LA bought off.

17 BAB for 4 attacks plus haste for 5 plus rapid shot for 6.

Multiweapon fighting gets +3 attacks for each off hand arm (9)

Make the full BAB class barb with whirling frenzy for another +1 and we have 16 arrows.

hmm, anyway to get this higher?

Tommorw I have to check if Macross Attenborough can hit the broad side of a barn.
