2-handed proficiency has no effect on bows, it only applies to melee weapons. This is also true of single-weapon style and slings/darts.

Monks are great fun, I recommend having one in your party (or soloing of you want more of a challenge). They get very powerful towards higher levels (I've killed Firkragg with 2 hits), and their fists definitely turn out to be their best weapons, especially if you use a couple of special items.

It is a shame there are no NPC monks, it kind of limits party combinations if you have to play one yourself.
