Requiring Contact

[Flashlight237]

Hey there. So... While range involves how far abilities can go, there are some abilities out there that actually require a foe to make contact with the user with their attacks or even make physical contact (ex. the Rough Skin ability in Pokemon, which damages attackers that make physical contact with the pokemon, as is the case with Sharpedo). Would these abilities have a range, or should there be a separate range stat that says "requires contact"?

Yes they would

 

[Flashlight237]

Yes they would

But isn't that kinda like saying a brick wall has range, though?

 

[Schnee_One]

Oh I misread.

No they wouldn't have a range
