Core rule · Rules Tome 2.0.8 § 509.4
Ranged strikes
Ranged strikes normally target exactly two ranks away and use only their stated ranged bonus.
How it works
Full rule
Choose a legal Character exactly two ranks away, roll a d20, and add the ranged strike’s own modifier plus effects that specifically modify that roll. Meeting or exceeding AC normally hits for one wound. A strike that names a specific target can ignore normal distance.
At the table
Example
A +7 ranged strike remains +7 even if the performing Character has printed ATK +4.
Watch for this
Common mistake
Character ATK and melee strike count do not modify a ranged strike.
