Rook can't draw her bow - SOLVED

Sooo I was playing fine earlier today, but just now I log back in and my Rook (who is heavily traited into bow) can't draw her bow. When she tries to ranged attack, she just draws her melee weapons. Two of her skills are also greyed out, only one is available. I checked and her bow is definitely equipped (same one she's been using), and even tried switching them out. Tried reloading a save too, no dice. Anyone else have this issue??

Edit: also tried restarting computer, and going back to a save from a few days ago. No dice. Bow shows on her back and in her inventory, but I can't use it. I guess I will try playing another character for a while until I find a solution ☹️

EDIT 2: SOLVED

Gonna leave this up for anyone else who had this issue - the game spontaneously switched the shortcut profile to warrior! In the settings under Controls (was this setting always there?!), I was going to look for keybindings to see if I could fiddle with that, but noticed this setting was on warrior, and changing it to rogue fixed it. Hooray I can snipe again 🙂
