Ranged Weapons

The Ranged Weapons aptitude allows a character to use thrown weapons or a bow with arrows or a device that launches foam missiles.

Description
Thrown weapons include all edged or blunt weapons of the appropriate build. The first time the skill is purchased, the character gains the ability to use any ranged weapon, which has a base damage of five. Every consecutive purchase adds one point of damage when using a ranged weapon. These points are not divided between hands but are applied universally. Ranged weapons cannot be used to defend against melee attacks. Ranged missiles can be blocked by shields. Weapon Bonuses, Strength Bonuses, Damage Bonuses and Tagline Bonuses can all be applied to this type of attack.
