Changes
/* Battlespace */
When Combat mode begins, the Game Master must announce the location of every player character, every other creature, every object, and every piece of furniture in the room. The presence and location of [[Cover]] must be requested before it can be used - see the relevant page for details on how Cover and stealth works.
Battlespace location is also used to determine weapon range. All attacks may either be '''Ranged''' or '''Melee'''. Ranged attacks may be used against creatures in any Side of the battlespace, with the caveat that cover can be used to guard against ranged attacks. Melee attacks render Cover useless, but requires the attacker and the target to be on the same Side. If an attacker intending to use a Melee attack isn't starting the turn on the same Side as their target, they will move into their target's Side as part of their action.
Planted explosives (all of which are [[Class 4 weapons]]) are a special case; they cannot be used directly to perform attacks normally like with other weapons, instead requiring to be placed in the Battlespace and meet certain conditions in order to detonate. For further details on how they function, see [[Explosives]], or the relevant individual weapon pages.
