Kill Range

[lordvan52681]

When a creature is killed, every PC in the killer's party who is alive, in the same area, and within 40 feet of the killed creature will be considered a part of the attack force and eligible for an XP award.

Note that the 40 feet is calculated from the location of the killed creature, not the PC who killed it. Also, the 40 feet figure may change up or down depending on beta tester feedback. Summons, familiars, and dominated creatures are not counted, although all PCs receive benefits through them if their associate kills a creature. This system treats companions and other summoned creatures as "extensions" of yourself - their kills are your kills. Henchmen, however, are considered seperate entities, and may have an impact on party XP distribution.

Could this rabge be increased a little? Ive noticed several times when I didnt get experience even though i made the kill because i was using a bow and was too far away.

The reason for the range to be set at 40 (is it really that high?) is that the NPCs only have a visual range of 30, so the range was set to make sure they wouldn't just stand around doing nothing while they where killed (yes they still do that, but not as often since players need to get closer).

Is this visual range of npcs variable? I've noticed that some monsters I can easily kill with bows by attacking, running away, repeat. With some monsters, it's fairly easy to keep them from attacking you this way, with others it's more difficult, with some it's totally impossible.
