Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Pendragon" data-source="post: 2027986" data-attributes="member: 707">The range increment of a bow is the distance at which it can fire without a penalty.  For a composite longbow, that's 110 feet.  The distance property doubles this, so one range increment for a composite longbow of distance is 220 feet.Most ranged weapons (bows, crossbows) can fire up to a maximum of 10 range increments, garnering a -2 to attack rolls with each range increment past the first.  So at 10 range increments, a composite longbow can fire up to 1100 feet away, at a penalty of -18 to all attack rolls.  A composite longbow of distance can fire up to 2200 feet away, still at a penalty of -18 to all attacks.The distance property does not affect Point-Blank Shot, which is still only active if within 30', sneak attack's requirement to be within 30' or any other ability that requires a set distance to function.Edit:  Changed the number of range increments, as was pointed out by later posters, I was wrong about max range increments for bows.  It's 10, not 5. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
