Rules Question - Ranged Weapons

Post by Malakor »

I was wondering if I could get official clarification on something.

In the Legends of Steel book, on page 39, under Ranged Weapons, the text reads . . .
Ranged (and thrown) weapons have no penalty to hit within
10 Squares. Every 10 Squares (or fraction thereof ) after
that, there is a –1 Dice Penalty. So for a person to shoot
someone 25 Squares away, there is a –2 Dice Penalty to the
attack. The Expert Marksman Talent increases Range by
50% and reduces the penalties by 1.

But Ranged weapons have a Range listed. Is this range the maximum range for the weapons and all weapons have the same range penalty, or should the text read 'within listed range'?

Thanks for any help.

the listed range is the max range. so within that range there is a -1 dice penalty for each 10 squares after the first.

Thanks, Just wanted to be sure before I told my players.

I've been statting up npcs and prepping my campaign. I love the ease and speed at which it can be done. I got my hardcover of the BASH UE in yesterday from Drivethru and will be interspersing building a supers campaign after I get my Echoes of Atlantis campaign prepped.
