A ranged weapon is any weapon which can attack a monster not adjacent to you. Technically, any item in the game could be a ranged weapon, if thrown. However, the source code officially designates some weapons as ranged[1]:
- dwarvish spear
- silver spear
- elven spear
- spear
- orcish spear
- javelin
- shuriken
- ya
- silver arrow
- elven arrow
- arrow
- orcish arrow
- crossbow bolt
- silver dagger
- elven dagger
- dagger
- orcish dagger
- knife
- flint stone
- rock
- loadstone
- luckstone
- dart
- boomerang
- cream pie
This is the order in which monsters will try to use a ranged weapon, unless a polearm is available, in which case it will try to apply that first.
Colloquially, any item which can be used to damage a monster at a distance could be considered a ranged weapon. This includes items like attack wands, hurled potions and spells.
