Distance Weapon
This property can only be placed on a ranged weapon.

Legacy Rules
A weapon of distance has double the range increment of other weapons of its kind. This property can only be placed on a ranged weapon.
Using a Distance Weapon
The property changes how far the weapon can attack before legacy range penalties begin to accumulate. It does not remove the normal rules for maximum range, line of sight, cover or concealment.
Edition Note
This is a legacy magic-weapon property. Range increments are handled differently in later editions, so do not apply the doubling rule to 5e/2014 or 5.5e/2024 unless the item has been deliberately converted.
Moderate divination; CL 6th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, clairaudience/clairvoyance; Price +1 bonus.
