[QUOTE="yakuba, post: 6526364, member: 6698582"] On what on authority do you claim the table is an illustration? The table is the only thing that actually categorizes weapons into ranged or melee. In any case: 1) I don't care about whether or not your interpretation breaks the game, only whether or not it is correct. 2) My example did not depend on the usage of animals, but I'll restate in the most general form to avoid similar confusion going forward. The statement, "A is B", does not imply "B is A". "B is A" might be true and I'm sure you can think of some examples where it is, but you cannot say that "B is A" simply from the statement that "A is B". In this particular case, you cannot say that because ranged weapons are used to attack at distance that anything used to attack at distance is a ranged weapon. This is actually plainly untrue in the context of the game since spells can be used to attack at distance and they are clearly not ranged weapons. [/QUOTE]
