[QUOTE="Thasmodious, post: 4290183, member: 63272"] That's not part of the concept, ability to use multiple weapons is. Ranged basic attacks are fine. They do the same damage as most at wills and some encounter powers, just missing a 'and xxx'. And later, your acid arrow can indeed be reflavored as a power with your bow. A samurai is not an archer. If you really want more ranged love, take magic missile as your wizard at will at paragon and reflavor that to be a bow shot as well. You can do that with any ranged wizard attack power. In fact, with a little agreement from your DM, reflavor the staff implement as a longbow (which is, after all, a long wooden staff with a string tied to it), and really open up that side, your bow becomes the vehicle for all your wizard attack powers, pick ranged stuff and off you go. Magic missile and Force Orb both have the same range as the unpenalized range of a longbow (20). So - magic missile (paragon at will), force orb (enc), acid arrow (daily), lightning bolt (paragon enc), disintegrate (paragon daily) - fired from your bow implement should give you all the bow powers you could want.
