I gave an NPC of mine that has Archery five a longbow and some makeshift arrows, and they decided to wield the entire 20 makeshift arrows as a melee weapon instead of using the longbow. I’m pretty sure this is not intended behaviour outside of them requiring to go melee, because I just gave them the longbow and it only took a turn for them to decide to switch to equipping 20 makeshift arrows. 😅
