When a talent like Deadly Accuracy says that it allows you to add X damage to "one hit", what exactly does that mean? One hit per encounter? One per session? One hit out of a burst of shots from a multishot weapon? One hit per enemy? One hit in the life of the character? (I think we can rule that one out.)

Help me out here.

It's one hit from a combat check. So, if you're using auto-fire or dual wielding, only one of those hits get the bonus.

Thank you very much. Having only one rank in Point Blank seems much more worthwhile now.

No problem. they had to put it in there, otherwise auto-fire would become that much more powerful... Imagine the combo of three ranks of point blank, deadly accuracy and the appropriate ranged weapon skill at five ranks.... Now when auto-firing, one hit gets that 8 damage bonus within short range, imagine if all the hits got it...
