I feel it's not fair and logical to be able to use bow or crossbow and gain defensive benefits of shield and melee weapon at same time. In ADOM archers were abusive being able to shoot accurately and deal high damage from range and having just as high defense values as character fighting with melee weapons would have had. I suggest that missile weapons should use same slot as melee weapon and shield (and be two-handed) or at least using missile weapon should negate defense benefits gained from them until next turn (or otherwise lower melee defense values).
