# Ranged skill **Ranged skills** use ranged weapons ([[bows]] and [[wands]]), to perform attacks. The damage of these attacks is based on the weapons equipped. ## Weapon restrictions Not all skills are usable with all types of weapons. Use the following table to help you design your ranged character's skills. <div style="max-width: 100%; overflow-x: auto;"><table class="wikitable sortable jquery-tablesorter" style="text-align:
