Summary

When meleeing you receive the error message "you are too far away to hit your target" (or something similar).

Description

Every mob in the game has its own "hit box", the area that you must reach in order to hit it in melee combat. For some mobs this hit box is much smaller than the actual model which makes it difficult to target, especially by some smaller/larger sized races.

Note that this is not to be confused with server-client lag where the same error message can occur when the displayed and actual position of the target is different.

Duplicating

(need a mob/zone/loc where this occurs regularily)

Solutions

• Move closer to the mob
• DEV -- Make the hit boxes of some mobs larger (list of relevant mobs needed)
