Microlite20 Macropedia: Using Ranged Weapons During A Melee

Greywulf::Net

Microlite20 is a free role-playing game containing character generation, combat and rules for magic, monsters and level advancement. I’ve ripped the guts out of d20 leaving just the essence of the game. Skills are much simplified, there are no feats and combat is as simple as it gets.

If you want a fast and light game that is small enough to print off and stick inside the cover of Dungeon magazine for your next session, read the CoreRules or download d20 Microlite and give it a try.

This combat option makes using a ranged weapon while engaged in a melee a difficult affair.

Combatants that have been threatened by melee weapons this round suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls with ranged weapons and ranged spells.

This means that combatants incur this penalty for moving in and out of a melee and trying to use a ranged weapon. This option adds a bit of tactical complexity to the CoreRules abstract combat system.
