Despite how it is worded, most hammers only have a short range. Being a cleric does not increase them to medium range nor is there a talent to do so for clerics.

Because of this, a good idea is to start your cleric as a ranger then swap them at a very low level, like 2 or 3, into cleric to get bow soul and some easy extra HP. If you can wait until 3 they will be able to do more damage with their bow and 4 will net you them starting at cleric level 2 and with medium armor earlier.
