Ranged weapons

Ranged is an attack type that is used primarily by weapons like bows, crossbows, and thrown weapons. In contrast to most melee weapons, ranged weapons can be used to deal damage to non-adjacent opponents up to a maximum range of 10 squares, depending on the weapon type. Ranged weapons are associated with the Ranged combat skill and, similar to melee weapons, have three distinct types of damage: standard, heavy, and light. Some monsters are weaker to certain damage types than others. For example, most dragons are weaker to heavy ranged damage than other types. The type of damage a weapon inflicts usually depends on its ammunition.
