[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8704464, member: 5889"] Yeah I do think long range in 4e was better paced. It allowed for long range fights without the "okay the archer will by shooting in the first 5 rounds of combat, everyone else take a break until the enemies get closer". Also I think the 4e ranges are much more realistic. Yes you can shoot a bow 600 feet in real life (well....some people can)....but when you are shooting at those ranges and hitting moving targets while you yourself are under threat.....no way jose. I would much rather 5e dropped the bow ranges even further (like 60/150 kind of thing), but have an option for long distance. Basically a "sniper" shot, if the archer is not moving and not under threat, and firing at an unmoving target that is unaware of them....ok feel free to like double or triple the range and now make that 600 foot shot. Here's an example of what that might look like: [B]Sniper[/B]: As a bonus action, an archer may double the range of their ranged weapon, but only against targets that have not yet rolled initiative. The archer cannot move before or after this bonus action is taken. [/QUOTE]
