Range
The range of a skill or effect is the maximum distance it can influence anything from its point of origin.
Melee attacks typically have a relatively short range, while so-called "ranged" attacks and spells can hit targets from much farther away. Attacks and spells with an area of effect also have a range, and affect everything within.
For comparison:
- 4: A normal one-handed melee attack [1].
- 5: A normal two-handed melee attack [1].
- 10: Limit of maximum damage range for Point Blank.
- 12: Melee Splash [2]
