Few questions regarding actions against arrows, rays, etc. depending upon the conditiions.
1st. I know you can 'reserve' free, move, standard action, but what about full attack? For below, assuming you can please.
When it comes to stuff like arrows whizzing around the battlefield. Provided you have the proper range ( reach weapon, large size, etc. ), can you do attacks of opportunity ( or reserved full attack ) against arrows ( that pass through your threat range ) to sunder them ( kinda like deflect arrow feat, but you don't have to be hit by it and would need attack roll ). And other things like 'grapple' them to catch them? 'Grapple' the splash weapon to keep it from going off. Bull rushing a ballistae bolt in its mid-flight to knock it off course. Stuff like that.
For things like rays of enfeeblement, using move action while ray is in midflight to that the ray winds up hitting you instead of party member ( bonus if you are immune to it ). Or heck, draw a shuriken and throw it to be in the path of the ray so it hits the shuriken and both are rendered useless.
Even better if you are archer reserving your attacks ( with things like arrow split spell for rays and splitting enchantment for multiple projectiles ) so that your arrows/bolts meet enemy ranged fire midflight and cancel each other out. Mainly for situations like that have the highground / cover and you are out in the open.
