I think so... not sure if I was on a leve or not, though! I'm pretty sure I was around Camp Drybone looking for quarry points and passed a chest and got something. I forget what, I think it was just money. But yeah, yay for random goodies.

I think archers just aren't a class that is designed for solo. I don't know about giving them a healing spell, one thing that might make a little more sense is making them more likely to be able to evade attacks, but I thought that would already be the case.
