Where are the range penalties listed in the rulebook?

The range penalties are listed under Equipment -> Weapons -> Weapon Qualities. I cannot cite the page number since I do not have the rulebook at hand.

Range: Any attack at more than this distance is penalized for range. Beyond this range, the attack takes a cumulative –2 penalty for each full range increment (or fraction thereof) of distance to the target. For example, a dagger (with a range of 10 feet) thrown at a target that is 25 feet away would incur a –4 penalty. A thrown weapon has a maximum range of five range increments. A projectile weapon can shoot to 10 range increments.

The range increments are listed in the Weapons table for projectile and thrown weapons.
