Simplified Range
Instead of getting hyper specific with the range of weapons and spells...
- The range called "ranged" means "within reasonable range".
- If the DM thinks an attack seems particularly long range, but doable, that's considered "long range", and the attack is at a disadvantage (or, if no attack roll is needed, defenders save at advantage)
- If the DM thinks the attack is just plain impossible to land, it is out of range.
I hesitate to add specific numbers as guidelines, but if necessary:
- "Ranged" means a typical melee fighter could perhaps reach the target, if a path existed, and he dedicated his turn to doing so
- "Long range" means the same fighter couldn't do so in one round, but perhaps in a couple or a few rounds
- "Out of range" means that fighter couldn't conceivably do so within a reasonable encounter time
