===== Weapons ===== | ===== Weapons ===== | ||

+ | ==== Weapon Range ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Every weapon has a range that is considered optimal and anything outside of that range increases the difficulty to hit. Weapon range occurs across several categories that are intentionally descriptive. For example, a range is “Across the room” instead of 5-20 feet to help make combat faster. Certain weapons that have tags that restrict them more specifically. For example, a sword may have a “Melee” tag, which means it cannot be used at any range outside of face-to-face. But with most ranged weapons they can be used at any attack range. The question is only how hard it is to hit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are at the weapon's optimal range, then no penalty is applied. If you are above or below a weapon’s optimal range, then each category shift applies a stacking +3 modifier to the target number. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The categories are… | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **Face-to-Face** - Melee range. Someone that is within the reach of your arm plus the length of any reasonable melee weapon. For example, two yards. | ||
+ | - **Across a Room** - Out of reach, but still close by. For example, five yards. | ||
+ | - **Down a Hall** - A modest distance away, but close enough they’d still hear you in a standard speaking voice. For example, ten yards. | ||
+ | - **Down a Street** - Far enough away that you can still see them, but they appear noticeably smaller and are harder to communicate with. For example, 30 yards. | ||
+ | - **Across a Block** - They are now a very long way away. They can still be seen with the unaided eye but shooting with anything but the most precise weapons is almost a waste of ammo. For example, 100 yards. | ||
+ | - **Across a Town** - The person is the equivalent of many blocks away. They may not even be visible without assistance. For example, 1000 yards. | ||
