In my current party, I have a Paladin with the Large Shield +1, +4 and a Scimitar, and a Ranger/Cleric with the Large Shield +2 and a hammer.
My fighter/thief uses the Eagle Bow, but switches to Varscona and a Large Shield +1 to backstab.
My Bard uses the Long Bow +1, but switches to a Short Sword +2 and Kiel's Buckler (+1 Dex) for melee.
My Fighter/Mage uses Long Bow of Marksmanship and the Quarterstaff +3, and my Ranger uses the Comp. Bow +1 and the Hlaberd +2.
All my characters who use ranged always need melee weapons, its a habit.
