Stats

Ranged Weapons have quite a few stats defining how they behave, and unlike Melee Weapons these aren't significantly affected by character stats.

Range

Decides if you can attack an enemy, and if you deal full or half damage. Here are the cases and their effect:

Normal range

If the enemy is within the normal range of the weapon you can attack them and deal full damage.

Extended range

If the enemy is within the extended range of the weapon you can attack them and deal half damage (rounded down).

Out of range

If the enemy is outside even the extended range you are allowed to shoot, but will deal no damage.

Damage

The normal damage dealt by the weapon, the actual damage depends on the range.

Special properties

Some weapons don't behave normally, this is documented in the list of special properties for that weapon.

Single-Use

This weapon isn't adjusted for reloading in combat, it is only usable one Combat round per combat. Applied for example to firearms without a magazine.

Point-Blank
