NAME
weapon range - the range of a weapon's strike determines the maximum distance
                its wielder can be from an opponent in combat

DESCRIPTION
Weapons have different striking ranges, based on how they function. This
matters in combat when one fighter must be near their opponent to strike,
but the opponent can strike safely from a distance. In formation battles,
fighters who battle from the back ranks must wear a long-range weapon in
order to hit an opponent, but in exchange it is much more difficult for
opponents to hit them unless they are also wearing a long-range or projectile
weapon.

Long range weapons: boomerang, slug thrower, throwing spear, spear, throwing
axe, throwing knife, throwing star, whip, polearm, halberd, magical wand,
dart, pike and lance.

Short range weapons: flail, axe, mace, dagger, nunchaku, staff, scythe, yo-yo,
two-handed sword, two-handed axe, maul, sword, hook and bola.

Projectile weapons: magical wand, dart, throwing star, throwing knife,
throwing axe, throwing spear, yo-yo, slug thrower, boomerang and bola.
