You get much better use out of the bracers if you give them to Kivan rather than Imoen. Kiven get 2.5 attacks per round, Imoen ony get gets 2. Imoen does 1-6 damage per hit (+ arrow bonuses) Kivan does 3-8 or 4-9 (+ arrow bonuses) depending on whether he has a long bow or composite bow. All the bracers do is increase the odds of hitting. Kivan attacks more often and does more damage when he hits. His attacks are the ones you should improve.

Basically if you're fighting an enemy that Kivan has no problems hitting you shouldn't care less whether Imoen ever hits or not. You are going to cream your opponents. If you are facing an enemy that Kivan has some trouble hitting Imoen is going to have a heck of a time hitting the enemy whether she has the bracers or not, and you're much better off optimizing Kivan's attacks.
