Yeah, the Firbolg definitely keeps his Enchanted Spear and the bow shows up as a new weapon.

Thanks for the info.

Be careful, though:
At the very momement he runs out of ammunition, he'll switch to melee weap and charge the enemy without switching target prefs ! (Lighting bow e.g. has only 10 "shots" IIRC ...)
So if you set him to fire at "large monsters", he'll head straight for them afterwards ..
