[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7519400, member: 6880599"] So I think this and a few other posts are shifting from "is ranged better" to "ok, so maybe range is better but should it be and if not how should we fix it?" I like the triangle Fast, Far, and accurate but I would also point out that if we are going to correct ranged vs melee their is a problem that blocking a an arrow with a greatsword is not a feat for the faint of heart but blocking a sword with a greatsword is pretty standard. So perhaps their are limitations that should be on ranged that are not but also bonuses that ranged should have that it doesn't. I mean … ranged includes firebolt right? so your sword is not stopping that... does that mean ranged spells get different rules from archery?
