My question is how does the feat Manyshot (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/manyshot-combat---final) work with enchantments like Endless Ammunition (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/magic-weapon-special-abilities/endless-ammunition) or something like Lightning Bow (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateEquipment/artifactsAndOthers/intelligentItems.html) (which is similar to the enchant but not sure if different)?

Thanks.

While not an expert on pathfinder, it looks as if it would not work. Both of the mentioned infinite arrow producing items explicitly do so one at a time.

Ya, thats what I was thinking, but I was hoping someone would tell me otherwise. I suppose you are allowed to use real arrows in the weapons so I could use real ones for my first shot so I get the full effect of my manyshot.

It would not appear so with Endless Ammunition as it states, "If the wielder attempts to load the weapon with other ammunition, the created arrow or bolt immediately vanishes and the wielder can load the weapon as normal. "

You could maybe make a strict RAW argument that Manyshot doesn't work with those items, but there's enough of a grey area, and it's such an insignificant power boost, that I can't imagine a real DM would rule against you.

Assuming Pathfinder works the same as 3.5, I'd consider endless ammo to a handicap in itself anyway. Only the enhancement bonus doesn't stack. Everything else does. So you are better off using a bow with certain enchantments and arrows with different enchantments. Endless ammo won't do that. It could still be useful against weaker enemies admittedly.

Stacking effects are awesome.
