Como você calcula o alcance de um ataque ao atacar na diagonal?

I was recently in a situation where I had to make a crossbow attack on an enemy that is in the opposite corner of the room from where I was.

Parecia um pouco assim:

enemies diagonally several squares from one another

For the sake of simplicity, let's assume my weapon has a range of 25 feet, and that each square is 5 feet wide.

If I count the diagonal squares, the enemy would just be in range. But if I calculate it mathematically with Pythagoras' theorem, the enemy would be 35 feet away, and thus not be in range.

The PHB only states about the Range propriedade da arma:

Range. A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range shown in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon's long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can't attack a target beyond the weapon's long range.

I know there is a rule for diagonal movimento where your first diagonal square costs 5 feet, the second 10 feet, and so on... I don't know where this rule is written, I just heard it somewhere.

How is the range of an attack determined, by RAW?

  • Just count the squares?
  • Calculate the diagonal, which would amount to 7 feet for each square?
  • Use the movement rules?

Let's get one thing out of the way first: Playing on a grid is a variant to the normal rules. These variant rules can be found in the green insert/sidebar on page 192 of the Manual do Jogador. To calculate range using these rules you count squares as though you were moving:

To determine the range on a grid between two things—whether creatures or objects—start counting squares from a square adjacent to one of them and stop counting in the space of the other one. Count by the shortest route.

In these rules diagonal squares are treated as 5 ft. apart.

To enter a square, you must have at least [5 feet] of movement left, even if the square is diagonally adjacent to the square you're in.

This rule "sacrifices realism for the sake of smooth play." The Guia do Mestre (p. 252) includes the additional regra de variante1 that every second diagonal counts as 5 additional feet.

When measuring range or moving diagonally on a grid, the first diagonal square counts as 5 feet, but the second diagonal square counts as 10 feet.

1: Yo dawg, I heard you liked variant rules...
