don't bother with an archer; mazzy works just fine. by the end of SoA she's (or any other fighter with bow grandmastery) down to an archer a 1/2 attack and an insignificant amount of THAC0 and damage (+3 mb, but all THAC0s below -10 are pretty much equivalent). she has great saves and her innate improved haste more than makes up for any combat deficiency. besides all that she can actually be useful in melee if needed (17 STR, not limited to just one slot in melee weapons, not restricted to studded leather armor > all penalties of an archer).
