Question: shooting but not shot at - asked by Rohan Iles, 3 February 2025

As a newcomer to DBMM, I'm finding myself stuck on the issue of shooting at a longer range than your opponent.

For instance, Bows at 240p vs Psiloi at 80p.

I can find no clear reference to this in the rulebook.

If the bow shoots at a longer range and the opposed roll comes up as a win for the Psiloi (either a higher score or even double) what is the outcome for the bow?

I would assume it would be no affect for the bow unless the Psiloi was within its 80p range.

Thankyou...

Correct. If Bw shoot but are not being shot at, they ignore adverse combat outcomes.

Hi Rohan, welcome to our group and I 100% agree with John, DBMM are a great set of rules 

One additional point about your question, Ps don't shot. The scale of the game leads to all close range skirmishing being included within the Ps close combat factor.
