+====== Ranged Weapon ======
+{{ rpd:images:bow_item.png|Ranged Weapon }}
+**Ranged Weapons** allow the hero to attack enemies from a distance without entering adjacent squares. These are important for tactical advantage and avoiding dangerous close combat.
+==== Types of Ranged Weapons ====
+  * [[rpd:bow_item|Bows]] - Basic ranged weapons that require ammunition
+  * [[rpd:crossbow_item|Crossbows]] - More powerful than bows, also require ammunition
+  * [[rpd:throwing_weapons|Throwing Weapons]] - Can be thrown without ammunition
+  * [[rpd:dart_item|Darts]] - Simple throwing projectiles
+  * [[rpd:javelin_item|Javelins]] - Thrown spears with good range
+  * [[rpd:boomerang_item|Boomerangs]] - Return after being thrown
+  * [[rpd:shuriken_item|Shurikens]] - Fast-throwing throwing stars
+==== Mechanics ====
+  * **Range**: Ranged weapons have a maximum effective range (typically 4-8 cells)
+  * **Accuracy**: Generally lower than melee weapons, but some have special accuracy bonuses
+  * **Ammunition**: Bows and crossbows require ammunition (arrows, bolts) to function
+  * **No Ammunition**: The [[rpd:huntress_class|Huntress]] class can use ranged weapons without consuming ammunition
+  * **Line of Sight**: Requires clear line of sight to target
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Effective for whittling down tough enemies before engaging in melee
+  * Useful for fighting dangerous enemies from safe positions
+  * Critical for fighting enemies immune to physical attacks
+  * Ammo management is important for bow users
+  * Can be used to activate switches or other distant mechanisms
+==== Combat with Ranged Weapons ====
+Ranged combat works similarly to melee combat but with different accuracy calculations and range limitations. Ranged attacks can be affected by accuracy items like [[rpd:ring_of_accuracy_item|Ring of Accuracy]].
