found on MA69 for buying off the Long Weapons in Close Combat penalties from MA117
for distinction, might be better named something like "Long Weapon Close Combat" or "Ranged Weapon Close Combat". This isn't a skill with any use for C-range weapons, for example.
Not to be confused with Close Combat (rule)
Background[]
3eMA46 perhaps inspired Long Weapons in Close Combat rule in 4e. It worked well with Corps-a-Corps
- This maneuver can be learned to eliminate the -2 for using a close combat weapon at reach C, or to allow longer weapons to attack in close combat.
Pg 112 of 3e's basic set:
- All weapon attacks (except for fists) are at -2 in close combat.
