The idea of this feat is to enable large numbers of weak creatures to be more effective against powerful individual creatures. It's inspired by a comment on an old thread about an improved mob template.
Volley Shot [General]
Prerequisites
Point Blank Shot.
Benefit
You may use the Aid Another action to help a friend within one range increment of your weapon. You may fire a shot against an enemy within one range increment, but make the attack roll against AC 10 as usual. This special attack otherwise works as stated.
Normal
You may only use Aid Another in melee.
Special
A fighter may select Volley Shot as one of his fighter bonus feats.
You may attempt to conceal which of you was aided by making a special Hide check as a free action with a -10 penalty (which includes the -20 penalty for hiding in combat, and a special +10 bonus for concealing use of tactics). Neither you nor your friend need concealment or cover for this special Hide check, although either concealment or cover (or both) provide a +4 bonus to this check. Your friend's Hide check is used as the DC required for a Spot check to determine which of you is being aided; your check result is used for Aiding Another on your friend's skill check.
I'm pretty sure the wording (most of which was adapted from Aid Another) still needs some cleaning up and polishing.
