so, i was messing around with different builds for what seems to be the most basic class ever (fighter) and i realized that, they are actually really good with bows.
The lighter armor they must wear, while offering less protection, lets them use dexterity for skills as well as relieves a lot of Armor check.
That, and, with a ranged attack, they can get extra hits in, thus making them VERY powerful against weaker units.
