Do not forget that even merchants and sages learn shield-and-spear fighting as part of the Orlanthi cultural keyword. That gives them Close Combat at 13, and they *can* choose Close Combat as their 5W ability or as one of their two 1W abilities. They are far from helpless non-combatants... refer yourself to "King of Dragon Pass", where merchants and sages often kick some serious ass on the battlefield.
