Ranges

The distance between characters inside and outside of combat is characterized by Ranges. They are determined by how many Move actions it would take to reach a character. There are 5 range bands:

Distant. (90ft+)Characters can be seen but are outside of reasonable ranges to interact with a combat.

Far. (90ft) Characters are more than 3 moves away but still within bow-shot

Mid. (60ft)Characters are at least two movements away

Close. (30ft) Characters are less than one movement away. Can move into melee range as a part of an attack.

Melee. (5-10ft) Characters are within melee range and cannot move without their opponent being able to attack them.
