I hadn't realized you could go as far as SIX increments out! Now I'm doing the math in my head about that -10, along with various buffs/debuffs that could happen. 🤔 It DOES present new possibilities!

Howdy Kojo! I've really only run into this in escaping enemies as a last chance before they get away usually with a 2nd increment BUT there was one case we ran into in Gatewalkers (no spoilers) where we downed a retreating flying creature in the 4th increment with a clan pistol as a last ditch effort. It was great! Don

I know this was supposed to be a short video but I am surprised you didn't mention the volley trait for "minimum range" penalties.

Thanks for the comment! Yup, it's always a decision point on how far I want to go with a specific topic, especially on a Quick Tip which I try to keep under 7 to 8 minutes. For better or worse I chose to not include it as the volley trait, aside from the longbow (which granted is pretty common) and the Phalanx Piercer, isn't on many actual common ranged weapons. I'll include it here: 2e.aonprd.com/Traits.aspx?ID=201 Thanks again for bringing it up! Don

Sure. Longbow is really the most common place to see it. And I would think it should be a big consideration when deciding between Short or Long bows.

Thanks for the comment! This was just a Quick Tip but I am planning on going over the bigger topic of effects and area which will go over those. I have done a cover guide before, I don't believe anything has changed since the remaster but I might have to take a look. I'll make sure to recheck before I start recording! Don

Two questions: Is there anything with the rules to modify or add a property to a weapons with a ranged tag to add additional range? For example, a masterwork long bow with a range inrament of 120 (up from 100)? Not magical, but that is the second question: Is there a quality of an item within the rules? Better material, construction or quality of the item? I mean homebrew is a thing, just looking for some temperment.

So there are A LOT of Property runes and a bunch that I've never looked at (The Extending one looks fantastic but melee only!): 2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?Category=23&Subcategory=27 There is the Impossible Rune in Treasure Vault but that is a Rune 20 (!): "IMPOSSIBLE RUNE 20 CONJURATION MAGICAL Price 70,000 gp Usage etched onto a weapon This rune makes a weapon capable of impossible offense and defense. The etched weapon is immune to dispel magic and similar effects that could counteract its magic. **If it’s a ranged weapon or thrown weapon, its range increment is doubled.**" As far as quality, there are High Quality weapons: 2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=1368 and there are grades of material (for instance, silver has 3 grades) and then there are precious materials and grades: "Low-grade items can be used in the creation of magic items of up to 8th level, and they can hold runes of up to 8th level. Standard-grade items can be used to create magic items of up to 15th level and can hold runes of up to 15th level. High-grade items use the purest form of the precious material, and can be used to Craft magic items of any level holding any runes. Using purer forms of common materials is so relatively inexpensive that the Price is included in any magic item." 2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=731 At the other end of the spectrum there are shoddy items: "Improvised or of dubious make, shoddy items are never available for purchase except for in the most desperate of communities. When available, a shoddy item usually costs half the Price of a standard item, though you can never sell one in any case. Attacks and checks involving a shoddy item take a -2 item penalty." 2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=197 Don

Target would have more opportunity to react and dodge as well. Does any of this happen to apply to spells?
@slystrategist

Thanks for the comment! That would be a good explanation as well as the further you go out the more time the target would have to react (flavor of course not an actual reaction). Good question! So spells don't have a range increment but an absolute range: 2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=286 "Spells with a range can affect targets, create areas, or make things appear only within that range" They can be extended with the reach spell of course but they don't have increments. Edit: Also adding a snippet from the Range and Reach section: "Ranged and thrown weapons have a range increment. Attacks with such weapons work normally up to that range." 2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=352 Don

Everything okay over on your end? It’s been a month since you posted which seems unlike you. Especially when missing the Monster Core release and Archives of Nethys update. Here’s to hoping life has gotten in the way in a positive way for you and not a negative. I don’t do much social media so maybe someone familiar with Discord can offer more insight?
