Hi guys,
Can't see a way of specifying range to target in effects e.g. range <= 30' for point blank shot. Have I missed something?
Thanks,
Pete

Currently no ruleset I know of calculates range or makes it available to effects. I believe their is an API available to extension developers that can calculate range between tokens, but that requires you to write an extension that does so and makes it available to effects.

What ruleset are you using? For Pathfinder 1e (and should work for D&D 3/3.5) you could look at this extension

Good one dogfisc, we are using 3.5 so this should do nicely!

Celestian recently added this to the 2E ruleset, actually.

Thanks :)

Just goes to show why we ask people to post ruleset specific questions in the appropriate forum :)
