Ranged Weapon

!Ranged Weapons are among the most common and most useful items that can be placed upon your characters. The majority of these possessions come with the bonus of making a character an archer or add text to the character who bears them.

Possession Weapons add fantastic boosts to characters; however, they can be discarded by a variety of cards. Fortunately, many cards that rely on weapons in a crucial manner allow you to fish them back out of the discard pile once removed.

See below for a list of all Possessions with the item class of ranged weapon, as well as various cards that provide bonuses for or against characters bearing ranged weapons.

Other Cards that Interact Indirectly with Ranged Weapons

Cards that Interact with Archery Fire and Archers

The main purpose of most !ranged weapons is to add to the archery total of bearer's side, either by using archery phase abilities or by making bearer an archer. There is a vast amount of cards that help or counter that purpose of shooting as many arrows as possible to the enemy, and others that help or counter those characters with the archer keyword.
