Sleepers also have a large standard effect, which can be helpful if standing in a block of normal archers of puny morale. Though that's semi-OT for the present purpose.

Assassins, w/precision 13, can also make decent snipers (inside or outside of assassination attempts.)

A sleeper with a Horn of Valor and a magic bow amongst archers is a wonderful boost to morale (not to mention the sleeper is quite a killer shooter with his high precission, as mentioned above).

With a strength of 17, they're rather nice with the lightning bow, too; especially if you can give them quickness.
