So I have given a waywatcher noble a magic bow and magic arrows. I know that if i fire the magic arrows I lose lethal shot but can i chose to fire normal arrows thus keeping lethal shot?

Swift answers would be great as the battle is about to begin?

Cheers.

Theres a rule that states a chharacter must use their magical gear over their mundane gear so no. Might aswell drop him to scout and save pts

So would I still get the lethal shot special rule if i'm firing normal arrows from a magic bow?

Actually, that was only referring to Magical Weapons specifically. In this case though, because they have a magical bow (magic weapon) they must use the bow when shooting and always shoot magical arrows, as is referenced by the Wood Elf FAQ.

A. Yes.
If they only had magical arrows they would be able to pick and choose whether or not they wanted to fire a normal (Lethal due to Waywatcher Kindred) or a magical arrow when firing.

Exactly.
Many people failed to realize that the rule of "I must use magical gear over mundane one" apply only on magical WEAPONS. There is no such rule for magical armor, enchanted items, talismans nor arcane items.
