About this converter
D&D 5e weapons list normal ranges from 5 to 150 feet. Net opens at 5, Dagger and Handaxe and Spear and Dart at 20, Blowgun at 25, Hand Crossbow and Sling and Javelin at 30, Shortbow and Light Crossbow at 80, Heavy Crossbow at 100 and Longbow at 150. That makes one Longbow equal thirty Nets of normal range. Long range runs triple to quadruple these rows with disadvantage, and notes carry the long figure per row.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row, for example Longbow and Dagger. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first range, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds feet or squares. Try 1 Longbow against Nets.
Trident at 20/60 sits out to keep the list at thirteen. Thrown rows cap at 60 long while bows reach 320 to 600. Sharpshooter and cover shift real shots off page, so rows pin table ranges only. Cover and long range disadvantage shift real shots off page, so rows pin table numbers only for clean math across all thirteen.
