Ah, gotcha. Still, at least somewhat more useful than I'd initially thought.

Part of the problem, of course, is convincing my players (who are more used to Pathfinder/D&D) that using a bow and arrow is significantly slower than using a sword. Getting them to let go of some of those ingrained paradigms is certainly a challenge.
