[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 528270, member: 7808"] Sorry Tar, but I think you forgot a little bit of calculation. Mean radius of the earth = 6.37e6 meters (according to my physics book) Circumfrence of a circle = pi * diameter = pi * 2 * 6.37e6 = 4.00e7 (keeping siginificant figures the same) Short bow range increment = 20 meters (Approximately. Does anybody have a PHB from England? Alternatively, what's the range of the shortbow in the Star Wars RPG? I think that uses meters.) 4.00e7/20 = 2.00e6 2.00e6 * range increment (-2) = - 4.00e6 to attack roll. Because of the approximations, closest I can say is that you'd need to be somewhere around level 8 million to pull this off. You'd probably be better off getting to level 1 million, then just rolling until you get a natural 20 :D [/QUOTE]
