    This document provides rules and calculations for ranged combat in a role-playing game. It includes tables for different ranged weapon types showing their damage, skills needed, accuracy and maximum range. An example is given of an elf character Elroy firing a composite bow at an enemy over 4 rounds, showing the penalty and bonus calculations for his skill roll each time based on range, aim bonuses accumulated from waiting multiple turns, and other factors. The goal is to accumulate enough aim bonuses to meet or exceed the bow's required skill number to hit the target.
