There is no specified maximum range, but it is not unlimited - it is up to the GM to determine what constitutes a reasonable maximum range. The author recommends that the maximum believable range for a detonator is "within the same town" at most.
	* A command detonation explosive can be either '''thrown''' or '''planted'''. Doing either takes a full turn, and must be detonated on the next turn. '''Using a detonator is a free action''', as it's simply about pressing a button. It is not even considered a non-combat action.		* A command detonation explosive can be either '''thrown''' or '''planted'''. Doing either takes a full turn, and must be detonated on the next turn.
