  Does she give arrows out a lot?  That could help give these character some 
form of range attack.

  I'm not sure if there would be any side effects of filling in the exp field. 
I doubt it, but I'm not 100% sure that exp isn't overloaded with some extra meaning.

  probably not.  The issue may be that the archetype may not be entirely useful 
- custom monsters on high level maps vary quite a bit from the archetype, so 
you'd have to be careful what fields you use and what you use them for.
