Been hooked to your game since I picked it up !!! Absolutely NAILED the soulslike feel.

Just one question, the way I read the ranges as listed, it's impossible to have a range of 5 since the grids are 5x5 and weapon ranges start at "Same", which is the square you're on, and the go from there so the maximum possible range appears to be 4. But there's weapons with a listed range of 5. Is there something I'm missing ?

Still having loads of fun with the way it plays even if I'm messing up some of the rules xD

Remember that all ranges and movement is counted orthogonally, aka you can't move diagonally when determining range.

so if you try to shoot diagonally, you do a zigzag when counting range and that's how you get 5s ?

Yeah. So if say a target is 1 square away from you diagonally it is actually range 2 away. If the target was 1 square away orthogonally then that is range 1. Referencing the combat grid now: if you were on square A1 and a target was on square E5, that would be range 8.
