In the context of Guild Wars, Range refers to the distance between the user and target of a Skill or Attack.

Targetted skills require your target to be within a certain range of your character to work. If the range is not specified, then it is assumed to be Spell range.

• Both melee and touch range require you to be right next to your target (adjacent).
• Spell range is slightly larger (1.2 times) than the Danger Zone.
  • Some spells state they have half the normal range.
• Bow range is affected by your relative height to your target.
  • Shortbows and spears have the shortest range of all ranged weapons, having to have the target inside the Danger Zone on flat ground.
  • Hornbows and recurve bows have a range of about 1.2 times the Danger Zone on flat ground, which is the same as spells on flat ground.
  • Flatbows and longbows have a range of about 1.35 times the Danger Zone on flat ground.
  • Certain Ranger Bow Attacks and Paragon Skills have half the normal range.
• Ranger Spirit range is 2.7 times the radius of the aggro bubble.
• The range of wards and wells extends to one third of the aggro bubble (in the area).
• If a spell's description says that it affects all party members, its' range is actually slightly larger than the compass. Wurm Siege also has compass range.
