Hi there,
I’m pretty new to Pathfinder and I’m having a few issues understanding ranged combat. In the hero’s handbook from the beginners box set it states
Quote:
Minimum and Maximum Range: You can’t attack a creature with a ranged weapon unless you are at least 10 feet away from all enemies.
The problem is I can’t see any reference to this minimum and maximum range rule in the core rule book and on page 183 under combat actions it shows that Attack (ranged) provokes an AOP.
Assuming that rule does exist in the core rule book? If a character has to be at least 10 feet away from an enemy before firing and assuming the enemy doesn’t threaten any squares further than 5 feet how would carrying out a ranged attack provoke an AOP?
Also if a character is engaged in melee with an enemy can he take a 5 foot step away from the enemy and fire?
Thanks
