Bah, elves... go Halfling, take a sling with Magic Stone. Wear full plate - I don't think even BWL would bat an eye at someone in full plate using a sling - conceptually, at any rate. All the rest of the spells mentioned above will help too. Course, you're only doing 1d3 instead of 1d8, but hey - you didn't say you wanted to do mass damage, just not boop. :)
