It sounds like this plan would leave a LR without a distance weapon ability.  I would rather shoot at a horde of screaming goblins from a distance, thinning them down a little, before wading into the fray.

*** True. But not all warriors are skilled in distance weapons. If a player chooses to specialize in close combat and neglects the distance factor, that should be within his rights. That dosen't mean a player who specialized in close combat could not pick up a bow, crossbow or throwing  axe and use it though. They simply would not have the benefits of training and practice.
