Distance

Distance in Path of Exile is measured in units. This unit is not analogous to feet, nor meters. Most character models are in the range of 15-20 units tall.



A measure of distance is sometimes given in skill descriptions, such as which lists the radius of its area of effect in units of distance.

For information about radius of skills and attack range see area of effect and range.
