Charges require a signal or timer, cannot be directly manipulated, and are altered easily. Same goes for traps. Projections are essentially oneself, depending on the situation. Regardless of these, they all offer less control than being there directly.


Use of all at your disposal can not only increase your level of control on the battlefield, but lower that of the opposition, which does more to make a ranged combatant the dominant presence. And, if worse comes to worst, versatility in the form of the ability to fight both ways, does make a predominantly ranged fighter more in control.

You argue that it's effective. I don't disagree; it offers less control.

It's effective because, especially when pitted against someone who tales the route of exclusive CQC, it maximizes your control of the entire situation and minimizes the other's.

Except it doesn't. You're equating gaining the upper hand to control. Yes, there are situations where ranged can offer more control than direct, but every direct offers more control than ranged.

In the context of the universe, there is no "up" or "down;" those only apply in relation to the center of the Earth due to gravity. If you take the single point that is the center of the Earth to be the point where all matter away from it is "up," because nothing in a three dimensional world can exist in a zero-dimensional space, in a way, absolutely everything is up.

"So?" Is kind of a random response to that.
