Searching a rule

[Kodam]

Hi!

I was pretty sure that Weapon Specialization only works up to a range of 30 ft. ala Sneak Attack or Point Blank Shot. But I can't find it in the books now. Am I remembering an 3.0 rule that was changed in 3.5?

Could anyone give me a pointer, please?

The phb mentions nothing about limiting to any range for WS or WF... sorry.

Original poster is correct, limit was in 3.0 (and previous editions), removed in 3.5.

3.0 SRD

3.5 SRD
