I've always given Kivan a pip in single weapon for enhanced crits and usually gave points in either longsword or bastard sword depending on my party makeup. My cleric usually tanks and I sent Kivan in when something shrugs off his arrows or gets too close to my rear line fighters, and equipping a shield/swapping the bow is a pain and generally he has solid AC (slightly better than my barb, slightly worse than Branwen).
I think I'm gonna make him dual wield bastard swords after I put 2 pips in them. Gonna give him the claw of kazgaroth and full plate armor for good measure. At the very least he will be able to rip werewolves apart. Those things were a pain for me the last time I played since no one could use daggers or bastard swords.
