The following qualities characterise each ranged weapon:
- Damage Dice: The damage the weapon deals on a successful attack.
- Hands: The number of hands the weapon requires to use.
- Range: This is the effective range of the weapon. A target within the weapon’s range attacked without a modifier for range. Within the weapon’s range, the Attacker shoots without penalty. If the target is within double the weapon’s range, the attacker’s Ranged Combat skill is modified by -20%. Attacks cannot be made at a distance beyond twice/double the weapon’s range.
- Rate: This shows how many missiles can be fired per Combat Rounds, taking into consideration the time to load the weapon. For example, 1 CR, means one missile every combat round, while 1/3 CR means one missile every three combat rounds.
- ENC: The weapon’s encumbrance. The weight and bulk of the weapon.
- Cost: The price in silver pieces of the weapon.

Using Ranged Weapons in Close Combat
Unless the weapon can be used in close combat, and has an entry in that table, a ranged weapon is treated as an improvised weapon, doing damage equal to its closest hand-to-hand equivalent if that is less than its ranged weapon damage.
