Combat

Range Bands

Abstract tactical zones used in place of precise measurement. Every weapon and Talent specifies a band, not a meter count.

Band Distance Tactical Meaning
Point-Blank 0–2m Melee range. Impossible to miss a stationary target. Rifles are awkward.
Close 3–5m A few steps away. Conversation distance.
Near 6–20m Across a room or street. Standard combat range.
Far 21–100m Across a plaza. Handguns struggle; rifles excel.
Extreme 101m+ Rooftop to rooftop. Only scoped rifles are effective.

Range determines weapon effectiveness, line-of-sight rules, and which Talents can target what. Most Psionic Talents use Near as their default reach.
