His strength needs to be 18 to use a composite longbow. I’m assuming that you picked this up off a dead goblin. Didn’t you know that goblins have 18 strength?
Check that you’re not wearing armor. If you are, you can’t cast any spells. Also, rest up and see what that does.
Skalds get great bonuses from level 15 – they are a great asset to any group. +4 to hit, +4 damage, -4 to AC, Immunity to Charm and Confusion
