Range
- "Rng" redirects here. For "RNG", see random number generator.

A weapon's range (Japanese: 射程 range), abbreviated Rng, denotes the distance with which its wielder can attack. Measured in terms of spaces, the range with which a unit can attack with a weapon is, generally speaking, the unit's movement plus the range of the weapon; almost anywhere which falls inside this radius can be attacked, depending on the terrain properties and the weapon. The vast majority of weapons have a range of 1 or 2; attacking at 1 range is traditionally called "direct" or "melee combat", while attacking at 2 or more range is referred to as "indirect" or "ranged combat".
Typical ranges
Typical ranges for weapon types | ||
---|---|---|
Weapon type | Standard range | Special range |
Sword | 1 | 1-2 (Magic swords) |
Lance | 1 | 1-2 (Javelins) |
Axe | 1 | 1-2 (Hand Axes) |
Bow | 2 | 3-10 (Ballistae) 2-3 (Longbows) |
Knife | 1 | 1-2 (Daggers) |
Magic | 1-2 | 3-10 (Siege tomes) |
Stone | 1 | 1-2 (Some dragonstones) |
Non-Human | 1 | 1-2 (breath and Crest Stone) |
Each weapon type is primarily associated with a basic range possessed by the majority of weapons of the type; however, for each weapon type there are a small number of rarer weapons which to some degree exceed this basic range. The extended ranges almost always occur in set patterns associated with a certain type of weapon variation.
In addition, there are rare occasions on which range can be extended by other means; for example, the Marksman gains +1 range boost for all bows except longbows.
