If Valygar had any sort of detect traps then he would be worth keeping around for what you suggest. A good thief though can do all you suggested and he can pick pocket and find traps.
I use Valygar as a second string fighter. He throws a few arrows in then charges in on the flank and hits the enemy after the enemy has fixated on one of my front line fighters.
I could keep him back firing arrows the whole time but I dont unless there is a mage to disrupt.
Why?
I try to play logically and by the rules. If an archer was to fire volleys of arrows off at two fighters in the distance he has equal chance of hitting either combatant. There is no real way to target just one guy when two are so closely together.
But that is just me playing my way, the game itself doesnt care about this. Just like how the game never considers where missed missle weapons end up.
