The range of players varies according to the [[range adder]] of the weapon equipped and the [[size]] of the monster being attacked. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/116950-zealing-with-a-passionsilence-war-pike/&do=findComment&comment=1455591]
  
  
Range is determined differently for players, hirelings and pets, and monsters.
+
'''Range = range adder + size'''
  
  
=Players=
+
Players achieve maximum range by equipping range adder 4 polearms and spears, giving them range 5 when attacking size 1 monsters, range 6 when attacking size 2 monsters and range 7 when attacking size 3 monsters.
The range of players varies according to the entry for their weapon in the rangeadder column of Weapons.txt and the [[Melee_range#Monsters|size]] of the monster being attacked: [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=79727&view=findpost&p=883314]
 
  
  
<center>'''Range = rangeadder + Size'''</center>
+
Although the physical damage of [[Smite]] and [[Dragon Talon]], [[Dragon Tail]] or [[Dragon Flight]] is based on shield and boot damage respectively, range is still based on the range adder of the weapon equipped.
  
  
 +
When an [[Assassin]] or a [[Barbarian (Diablo II)|Barbarian]] equips [[two weapons]] and attacks a selected target, range is based on the range adder of the primary weapon (the weapon equipped above the gloves in the inventory, or that first equipped). The primary weapon is displayed in the right hand of the Assassin or Barbarian. This is true for [[Dragon Claw]] and [[Double Swing]] and [[Frenzy]], even though these are a sequence of two attacks (as are Normal Attack and [[Fists of Fire]], [[Claws of Thunder]] and [[Blades of Ice]] when used with two weapons). While each weapon attacks and applies its damage and modifiers individually, the range applied to both attacks is still that of the primary weapon. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/topic/117349-frenzy-barb-aesthetics/&do=findComment&comment=1455909]
  
Players achieve maximum range by equipping certain polearms and spears with rangeadder 4, which gives them Range 5 when attacking [[Melee range#Size_1|Size 1]] monsters, Range 6 when attacking [[Melee range#Size_2|Size 2]] monsters and Range 7 when attacking [[Melee range#Size_3|Size 3]] monsters.
 
  
 +
[[File:Two weapons.png|frame|center|Both [[Skeleton|Burning Dead]] (size 2) are out of range when a [[Dirk]] (range adder 0) with 100% [[Chance to Cast]] [[Frost Nova]] on [[Attack]] is primary and a [[Long Sword]] (range adder 1) with 100% Chance to Cast [[Nova]] on Attack is secondary. When the Long Sword is primary ''both'' attack the Burning Dead (which are chilled by the Frost Nova cast by the Dirk).]]

Note that equipping weapons has no effect on the mêlée range of hirelings and pets that can do so e.g. the range of a Desert Mercenary or Valkyrie equipping a War Pike (rangeadder 4) will still be based on MeleeRng 2 and 0 respectively.

When a monster is blinded by Hit Blinds Target, Dim Vision or Cloak of Shadows, its awareness range is reduced to its mêlée range; thus it's relevant even if they are ranged or casters with no mêlée attack.
