Default Imbuements: Ranged imbuements and Project Weapon?

Could Project Weapon and, for example, Far Shot, be used together?

Or Project Weapon and Multi-Shot?

Or any other ranged-weapon specific imbuements?

Or, is a projected weapon not a ranged attack for this purpose?

I think so. Page 5 says:

Imbuement Skills are divided into three basic classes based on what weapons they can affect ... This distinction is made on the grounds of whether the granted effects make sense for a given category of weapons.
With Project Blow as part of the Combination Skill, the ranged imbuement skills suddenly "make sense" for normally-non-ranged combat skills.

The text for Project Blow says:
Quote:
This ranged attack
So the combination should be legal, if you have the Ranged skill as an Imbuement of Project Blow.

Imbuement Skills are meant to be modular and stackable. If you can make your attack qualify for one Imbuement Skill by first applying another, then more power to you. Just remember that the otherwise-invalid skill won't be useful until you've used the one that enables it. For instance, you can't use Homing Weapon (Unarmed) by itself; you always need to use it with Project Blow (Unarmed). This is a good time to consider a Combination Skill.
