Now I know ranged combat is frowned upon like bows and magic, but what about a weapon set that has a positive negative effect? Such as long reaching melee weapons being added where you can engage an enemy with an empty space between you where you hit at full damage, but if they get close you only deal half damage. I know this would create a problem with a lot of bosses though, so there'd have to be a fix on them where you can only attack in the usual fashion of toe to toe making these items pretty much useless against them. I think it'd make for a fun strategic effect, but they'd just have to be high ap to swing so you can't remain constantly safe moving a space to swing at full damage. There would also be the condition where you can't pull the old runescape trick of swinging over an obstruction to be unreachable (rocks, plants, fences, etc.)
