I keep finding situations where the game says I am "too far" to perform a ranged shot but enemies don't share the same restriction. I decided to get pictures this time. I have 4 pics all from the same fight. The first illustrates the distance. The second shows that the enemy can take shots at me. The third demonstrates that Sharp-Eye Mirg is the most Dorito eatin'est, Mountain-Dew drinkin'est, 360 spinnin'est, no-scope seein'est goblin sniper I've seen (and he's slightly drunk!). The fourth picture shows where I need to be in order to shoot back.

Although Mirg does have height advantage I don't think the player can actually take shots like that. Not even magic goes that far in my experience as of yet. In addition to being able to take shots from way downtown Mirg has the advantage of the game camera not being able to zoom out as far as it does in the pictures. It only does that when Mirg takes shots. In picture 4 you see I barely got my character's outline in the frame; otherwise, I would not even know that my character was going to have to move that far to take a shot.

It was kinda fun setting up this experiment but when it happens so often and every enemy carries bottles of acid or fire (and they throw them just as far) it steals the fun away...

I remember that the githyanki patrol at the mountain pass can throw whatever from their initial position to the top of the bridge in front (where I positioned my team). I could still beat them but was quite surprised they could just snipe you from so far and so low lol
