which is why i want quick draw (to pull my weapon out as a free action), rapid reload to arm my xbow (as a free action) and then use my explosive missile to fire it off. make bomb = standard / shoot = standard. is that not right?

Ah, well in that case, you’d Quick Draw the weapon which would be a free action, then just use Explosive Missile as the standard action. Next turn, your Rapid Reload would allow you to fire multiple bolts or throw a bomb or use Explosive Missile again or whath-have-you.

Actually, you wouldn’t even need Quick Draw, since drawing a weapon is a move action by default, so you could draw and Explosive Missile all in one turn anyways. That would mean you couldn’t move, but once a character gets BAB +1, they can draw a weapon as part of a movement as a free action anyways. Quick Draw is mainly there for character that want to do throwing, for prerequistes for a few things, and for rule of cool (quick drawing pistols or quick drawing a katana like an iaido character).

EDIT
Shooting is a standard action and throwing a bomb is a standard action, that’s correct. Explosive Missile is an ability unto itself and it doesn’t require a bomb to be made and ready. Its whole ability is contained in a single action.
