You seem to have some weapons that I'm not finding - are you playing some kind of modified game?
I hear you about the realative weakness of some Bard instruments as the characters and monsters increase in level. But, still, the Bard using Strings of Seduction and Banshee's Howl is quite effective - plus I depend upon him for healing, which leaves the Bishop and Psionic the option of using their Divine spells for Guardian Angels (which have saved many a life), Instant Death, and Eye4Eye spells. I use the Bishop to keep the Bard (and the rest of the party) well rested - In fact, their initiatives are such that the Bishop always goes after the Bard, so I can use him at full power every round that the Bishop feeds him stamina. The Bard's Silence Lyre seems more effective than the Psionic, or Bishop with their silence spells - although, now that the Bishop has gained a level or two on Ascension Peak, he is doing better with silencing.
As for the melee range - I usually have to walk up the beasties to give the fighter, samurai, RFS-81 and Vi a chance to slice them up.
