You will have *big problems* in the beginning of the game. Elves are accurate but their STR and END is awful. Do not invest into STR and END during character creation (waste of stat points) and try to reach the altar at Barrow Downs ASAP. This will solve a part of your problems. Well, at least one black gargoyle is usually waiting for you there ... Archers also need the first promotion ASAP, they are almost unusable otherwise. But this means the lower floor of the Red Dwarf Mines soon after beginning of the game. Good luck But this is not all, you will be bad in disarming traps for a long time. Later on, one of the archers will specialize in disarming, becomes an expert and gains a strong item of Disarming.

If you survive all this and if you reach the second promotion for all your party members then you get an extra strong party able to fight very efficiently by their melee weapons (spears, of course), which will be also dangerous when it comes to bows. You will also have three mages and a Priest of Light. Monsters be warned!
