Ranged Weapons
Ranged weapon attacks are usually initiated through the Ranged Attack Combat Action.
Ranged attacks may not be used as part of a charge or flurry.
Regardless of the specific Combat Action that initiates the attack, all ranged attacks are handled in same manner as close combat attacks, with the following exceptions:
Loading Ranged Weapons
While readying most ranged weapons takes only a single Combat Action, others take more than one Combat Action to reload.

1 Modifiers within these sections are not cumulative.
However, modifiers from different sections are cumulative.
Therefore, shooting at a target within a mist that has moved more than 10m since the attacker’s last Combat Action imparts a –20% penalty.
2 A surprised character may only use Reactions against attackers with a Strike Rank lower than their own.
3 Attacker condition modifiers are cumulative.
4 Only thrown weapons may be used underwater.
Bows and other projectile weapons will automatically miss if fired underwater.
Range
A target within the weapon’s Range may be attacked without penalty.
A target within double the weapon’s Range may be attacked, but the attacker’s effective Weapon skill is halved (before other modifiers are applied).
Attacks against targets beyond the weapon’s Range automatically fail.
Dodging and Parrying
The target may attempt to dodge the attack, but may not normally parry it.
Precise Attacks
A character may not attempt to disarm targets with ranged attacks, nor may he attempt to strike a target’s weapon or shield.
Precise ranged attacks made to bypass armour or hit a specific location operate normally.
