Setting the range of a weapon as 0xFF lets the range display as “Total”.
However, this isn’t functional, so it ends up being a 15 to 15 range weapon.

Wasn’t “Total” range used exclusively for the S-Ranked staves in FE6/FE8 (Saint’s Staff and Latona)? I know no such item exists in FE7, so maybe it’s not functional in this game.
Speaking of which, has anyone ported Saint’s Staff or Latona to FE7? I find it odd that the effect doesn’t exist in FE7 to begin with.
As display only. @Arch and I did some testing and it has no bearing whatsoever on staff range, which is tied to usage effect only (I think).
In other news, I have a very hacky solution to make weapons with range total, but it modifies a getter. Just that I did it in a debugger so didn’t want to rearrange calls or anything to make space.

In fact, it seems to not let her have an equipped weapon at all :P.
staff ranges are in the usage codes themselves so that wouldn’t have any bearing anyway
Yeah, I mean it’s tied to the item effect(which is also used as the index for usability) and not the display range or even the range in the item data at all.
