Ranged Weapons
The following qualities characterise each ranged weapon:
Damage Dice: The damage the weapon deals on a successful attack.
Range: This is the effective range of the weapon. A target within the weapon’s range attacked without a modifier for range. A target within double the weapon’s range has the attacker’s effective Ranged Combat skill is halved, before other modifiers are applied. Attacks against targets beyond double the weapon’s range automatically fail.
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.
