The discussion of using whirlwind has prompted me to ask a question which I have been curious about since I first installed and played NWN, so I am seeking clarification from the community.
What are the relative weapon ranges for each type of weapon... or do they even exist? Offensive spells have clearly-defined attack ranges so it would seem logical that weapons would also have analogous delimiters.
Specifically, if a PC is surrounded by attackers, is the attack proximity greater for, say, a spear than a dagger, for example?
I suspect there IS such a weapon characteristic used in the game but have never been able locate the values in a 2DA, so if it does exist it may be hardcoded. These ranges are not easily play-tested but, in certain situations, like when threatened through a confined space like a doorway, hostiles that carry larger weapons seem to be able to attack through obstructing crowds while those with smaller weapons just wait their turn until the proximity changes. Then again, it could just be an aged imagination gone haywire.
