Changes: Ranged weapon

Revision as of 15:58, 8 January 2011

A ranged weapon refers to an item which can be used to perform an attack roll and are primarily for the purpose of attacking at a distance (i.e., while not in melee combat).

Notes

Ranged weapons either can be missile weapons, which consume ammunition, or can be throwing weapons, which consume the weapon itself.
Ranged weapons with unlimited ammunition will not accept alternative ammunition in the appropriate item slot for use.
If a ranged weapon is used in melee, the attacker suffers a -4 penalty to the attack roll and provokes an attack of opportunity. The penalty can be eliminated by taking the point blank shot feat.
If the target is running, the attacker suffers a -2 penalty to the attack roll.
If the target is prone, the attacker suffers a -4 penalty to the attack roll.
No ranged weapon may be wielded in the off-hand slot, nor can any weapon be wielded in the off-hand when a ranged weapon is in the main hand. That is, dual-wielding is not an option with ranged weapons.
