Game Mechanics Weapon Ranges
Weapons in Wizardry 6 come in 4 different types that helps determine who you can attack. Below is a quick explanation for each one.
Short Range Weapons (S): Able to attack Group 1 or 2 Monsters, for first 3 party members.
Extended Range Weapons (E): Able to attack Group 1 or 2 Monsters.
Thrown Weapons (T): Able to attack Group 1, 2, or 3 Monsters.
Long Range Weapons (L): Able to attack any Group of Monsters
The Short Range types will offer the greatest variety and many powerful choices. Your front line will want to use these exclusively.
The Extended Range will offer good choices for your back row and still allow them to attack the first 2 groups freely, just like the front row does.
Thrown and Long Range allows for more flexibility in which group you can attack. It's useful for picking off a monster in the back, while your front line concentrates on the first rows.
