And depending on the confinements he may not be able to move out of that area....Then take his spare one as well. Or grapple him. That works as well as it works with archers, and the wizard will have an even worse bonus to grapple.Don't forget we're talking NPC's, which have less money than PC's. Also, if they aren't alone they have a lower level then the party (or it is a difficult encounter, and those aren't the norm), and so the benefit of money and spellpower will be with the party archer (and the party as a whole)The problem with reach weapons (if those melee fighters have them) is that it isn't natural reach, and so they can't attack enemies that are right in front of them. So as soon as he uses his reach weapon, the giants will step in. Or they have higher reach...Did I say so? We were talking gauntlets.Take a weapon proficiency to use the bow as a melee weapon. In a world where every Joe Melee Warrior rushes past the party tanks to sunder the archer's bow, this will be very worthwhile.It's defined enough to blow a mere 1500 gp (which might otherwise be left over anyway)</blockquote>
