Projectiles are the energy/arrows from long ranged weapons and some long-ranged spells. It is important to know that players can dodge projectiles with proper timing and running. Projectiles can be blocked by terrain obstructing the line of sight, but they do not require a clear flight path, so low ceilings will not interfere with high-arcing projectiles.

- Ranged weapons inflict more damage against lower targets and less damage against higher targets. The exact mechanics of this are unknown.

- Flight Time is for a target at Shortbow range distance.
