Ranged Weapons Skill

Ranged weapons represents the ability to effectively fire and deal damage with a ranged weapon. This skill is broken up into bows, crossbows, or magitech weapons. Every purchase of this skill must apply to one weapon subtype, and each subtype ranks up separately. Bows and Crossbows require at least a 1 yard distance between them and their target to effectively fire. Firing any ranged weapon into melee suffers a -2 penalty.

On ranged weapon attacks, your skill in the subtype that applies to the weapon is added to the applicable statistic and weapon base damage to determine the dice pool.

Subtype	Example Weapons
Bows	Short Bow, Long Bow, Alloy Bow
Crossbows	Hand Crossbow, Light Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow
Magitech	Magitech Pistol, Magitech Rifle
