[QUOTE="MothMayI, post: 9628039, member: 7051957"] Your assessment here is very incorrect—factually so in several places. "Attacks" in 5e are quite simple once a basic definition is established, and each type of attack builds on that definition with each word meaning exactly what it means. An attack is anything that involves an attack roll. It is either a melee or ranged attack, which dictates how it interacts with distance between creatures. It is either a weapon or spell attack, which dictates the ability score used. Different features can affect attacks in general or specific types of attacks. In 2024 5e, if you hit someone in melee with a bow, that is an attack with a ranged weapon. If you throw a dagger? Attack with a melee weapon. 2024 5e uses language that limits the rules' ability to interact with specific circumstances (and enables exploits that weren't previously possible in 2014 5e). [/QUOTE]
