I think Bows own swords

Out of arrows. What to do? So my mage cast a Summon Monsters spell, and several Kobolds appeared, eager and ready to defend their newfound companions. "They charged valiantly, and were butchered valiantly. Later, men in tall hats and fancy watch fobs thumped their chests and said what a grand charge it was."

LOL I almost split my side reading the past few replies. I better say something about bows or else I'll be off topic. I think the colors used for the bows could be a little more vibrant. Something that says, "I am an Archer. Hear me roar!"
Back off topic. How come the actors in the horror music never pay attention to the "bad guy" music in the background? The music is playing! Don't go in there!

I used the Army Scythe (the crossbow of speed) almost exclusively, I equipped it on a paladin (** in x-bow)(she bacame a cavalier in BG2 so I didn't get the x-bow) and it saves on buying arrows (using different types of ammo lets you not worry about that problem, esp when using most of the rest of the party as archers with bows), the bolts of biting complement the arrows nicely, and the 'lectric bolts are just too cool, and there is a little known missile weapon called the "bolt of Polymorphing" I only found it using the cheats, but it's just awesome, same effect as the wand of polymorphing, and polymorph other spell. target becomes a squirrel unless it makes a save vs spell (and it still takes the 1d8 damage)
