When attempting to hit a distant target with a whip, thrown, or missile weapon, the characters

accuracy, as well as targets distance/size/activity or Target Difficulty Modifier (TDM) must be

taken into account. The shooter must roll normal Attack, but the TDM will be used as a modifier

to simulate difficulty.

Example: Archie is firing a Long Bow at Bob the goblin. Bob is 250 feet away and standing in

an open field not moving. Archie has W.S. Missile with +3 to ATT. Archie rolls a d20 ATT,

and gets a 17. The Rac knows the goblin is about 4 foot tall (-5), and the distance is 250 feet (-5)

(+0 for Long Bow) and it is not moving (-1). Giving Archie a revised Attack of (17-11 =6) Bob

rolls his Dodge of 12 and the shot misses its mark. When Archie moves closer say within 75 feetand shoots. Archie will now roll an Attack of 17, (-5 size, -2 dist, +1 Long bow, -1 motionless)

for a revised total of 10.

An Attack roll of Natural 20 will always hit regardless of modifiers or conditions. A Natural one

with any stringed weapon results in a broken string.
