> Not necessarily! For example, a mage might cast long-range magic For me that is just a difference in data properties. The event is the actual attack. A ranged attack would be the distance between the two parties. A melee attack would have a distance of 1. A self-inflicted attack would have a distance of 0. If you attempt a melee attack from a different room the attack action still happens, but the other party receives no damage and probably no awareness of the attack. The handling of the action and consideration of the data is still the same regardless of who commits the action and who is the attacked party.
