Done, defaults to true. Well, the server administrators will change the

Actually, for me that's already the case. I'm not sure what you meant but
if I target a monster I get the whole 'x' description including "It is out
of range." I didn't change anything with that, in particular no colour

didn't feel like finding out where the explosion range is
defined/calculated.
