The archer whirled and shouted an ancient battle cry, silver hair fluttering behind him like a great cape as he raised his bow to the sky. Suddenly he was a flurry of movement, drawing and firing with supernatural speed. Every arrow he nocked and fired became a streak of silver sparks that rained down on the battlefield, like the razor tears of a vengeful goddess.
As a full-round action, you make a single ranged touch attack roll with your bow. You can then compare attack roll to the AC of every enemy within the first range increment of the bow you're wielding, up to a maximum number of target equal to your initiator level multiplied by your Intelligence or Wisdom modifier (Whichever is higher). Targets struck are dealt damage as normal for your bow and outlined by silvery Faerie Fire for 1 round per two initiator levels. Special effects, like an Arcane Archer's Imbue Arrow, only affect the first target; The initiator can use Sneak Attack if he possesses it, but must divide the dice up among his targets if he wishes to sneak attack more than one target.
This maneuver can be used to sneak attack undead, bypassing their normal immunity, and deals an additional 1d6 light-based damage per point of the initiator's Wisdom or intelligence bonus to any undead creature it hits, or 1d8 to creatures specifically harmed by sunlight; A will save is allowed to reduce this additional damage by half.
Lycanthropes struck by the silvery arrows must make a Will save or be forced into either their hybrid, animal or normal form (Initiator's choice at the time of initiating the strike, not on a per-target basis). However, since this relies on firing the arrows upward, it can only be done outside or somewhere where the roof(/ceiling/etc.) is high enough to allow for the arc of the arrows.
This is a supernatural maneuver.
