Ranged vs Melee

Hey there,

I'm a bit confused about the difference between ranged and melee attacks. You'd expect that when using a bow and arrow, your opponent will hit you less or something like that...

But what exactly is are the differences in melee and ranged weapons?

[doctor-warlord]

there isnt much of a difference its just 2 different types of training you need to do to be good at them

So.. Then what are the advantages of using archery instead of weaponry? And vice versa?

it depends on how you like your character to develop... if you like a bow and arrow char, then use archery. And vice versa.

Both are equally good ;D

[doctor-warlord]

well basically the only real difference is class bonus effects on it and then your personal preference

There's going to be a bigger difference soon. The kiting aspect of archers hasn't been explored yet, there will be gems that allow you to put yourself at distance out of combat range for a duration while still being able to used ranged attacks.

[doctor-warlord]

well that with putting you at a distance wont benefit just archers but also spellcasters wouldnt it as most often spells are ranged attacks

Sounds fun, how about a Grapple skill or something for melee attackers, something that makes it useful to actually be up close.
