Personally feel its very important to equip all characters with long and short range weapons ASAP, in order for their skills to start building.

No kidding! Not equipping everyone with both types of weapons is a sure way to get dead in the Monastery/Arnika Road, especially if you have a smaller party.
My first 4-person party got slaughtered by the set of crabs up by the gazebo [img]redface.gif[/img] because due to the luck of the draw, there was nothing of interest in the first chest and only one character had ranged weapons. Combine that with a level 1 bishop with no poop at all and you're about to get eaten for brunch.
Even if the characters don't have much skill, having ranged attacks early on really helps. It keeps you from having to close too fast with critters who can nauseate your whole party or otherwise incapacitate them (I remember going through the entire monastery with a diseased character once - couldn't find a potion of Cure Disease to save my life).
