	This ability has a powerful interaction with [[Manyshot]]. Every time two arrows are notched instead of one, both arrows will deal death attack damage and potentially paralyze the target. As such, a character with 7 or more ranged attacks per round (3 in the first "flurry") using manyshot on an unsuspecting opponent will deal six death attacks, causing high damage and forcing six fortitude saves, paralyzing the target if at least one save fails.
