Attacking

Source Player Core pg. 398 2.0
Strike (page 418) actions have the attack trait and allow you to attack with a weapon you're wielding or an unarmed attack (such as a fist). If you're using a melee weapon or unarmed attack, your target must be within your reach (page 426); if you're attacking with a ranged weapon, your target must be within your range (page 526). Ranged weapons get less effective as you exceed their range increments (page 403). Striking multiple times in a turn has diminishing returns. A multiple attack penalty (page 402) applies to each attack after the first.
