Alternatively, one may substitute throwing in place of arrow firing.
I think this is what I want my 'Clown' class to do.
The Clown would have proficiencies with all ranged and throwing weapons (including bombs and throwing hammers for a nice ACME approach) and would get bonuses for using improvised throwing weapons so that expendable items are not an issue. If you run out of ammo, you can throw a chair to get the same or better effect.
This would be in addition to the Clown's taunts which also get an AoE as they affect all enemies that can see or hear the Clown.
