Description

A character with the Ranged Attack Attribute knows how to perform precise ranged attacks with a particular class of distance weapons. This is actually a group of different Attributes, each representing expertise with a particular class of weapons. For each Level, the character gains a +2 bonus to their Attack Combat Value whenever they are using the specified group of ranged weapon. This bonus actually increases the Attack Combat Value when using the specific weapon, and thus relevant damage inflicted (page 193) is increased as well. The character selects the group of ranged weaponry when this Attribute is assigned.

**Examples**
include: Archery (bows); Artillery (large calibre indirect-fire guns such as howitzers and mortars); Blow Guns; Cannon (large calibre direct-fire guns such as tank guns and naval guns); Handgun (pistols, machine pistols, revolvers); Crossbow; Launchers (guided and unguided rockets); Long Gun (carbines, rifles, submachine guns, and shotguns); Machine Gun (bipod, tripod, or vehicle mounted machine guns and automatic cannon); Mechanical Artillery (catapults and bolt throwers); Sling; Special Attack (all attacks associated with a particular psychic ability or super power); Spells (magical missile attacks such as fireballs and lightning); Throwing (for thrown axes, knives, stars, grenades, etc.); or a group of ranged weapons built into an Item type such as “tank weaponry” or “starship weaponry” or “giant robot weaponry”.

**SIZE-RELATED LEVELS**
When Ranged Attack is added to a character due to a Size Rank smaller than Medium, the character receives the Attack Combat Value bonus on all ranged attacks (ie. all types of weapons).
