DESCRIPTION

Hail of arrows greatly speeds up your ability to strike at foes with ranged weapons. During the turn that you cast hail of arrows, you can use a full-round action to make a single ranged attack with a ranged weapon you are wielding against each opponent that is within the first range increment of the weapon. Each attack is made at your full base attack bonus and uses your normal abilities, such as Precise Shot or Weapon Focus.

You can attack a number of targets equal to your caster level, and can only attack an individual creature once. If you do not take the action to attack during the turn you cast hail of arrows, the spell is wasted.

Despite its name, hail of arrows can be used with any ranged weapon, including throwing weapons. In the case of a thrown weapon, you must use it for ranged attacks, not melee.
