I generally use the T formation. It is what has worked best for me
so far. The main problem I have is that the main charecter moves to
slow so all the weaker one's out distance him. There are times this is a royal pain but most the time it works out. The only thing I miss about
Minsc is "You point I punch " Comment. what a riot.

To clarify, I meant that Kivan should be given a Bow and Halberd instead of a Bow and Sword. Only a fool would take a bow away from an Elf with 17 DEX. He actally does make a decent Tank though, once you take him to Level 6 and teach him Large Sword. And I think that Ajantis is a fair enough Tank too--with the Gauntlets his STR/DEX/CON is 17/18/16, which is better than Kivan's 18(12)/17/14. I find that for my Tank, AC is more inportant than THAC0, because most of the damage done in my party is laid on by my archers. The weird thing is, I'm keeping Minsc, but I use him primarily as an archer--I only whip out his Spider's Bane when I need to take something down fast and hard.

Question: Both Minsc and Kivan are Level 8, and they both have 1 slot for a Level 1 spell, but they have no spells to memorize. Since this is ToSC, where Rangers should be learning spells, where are their spells?

Boots of Stealth: 1125 gp
Shadow Armor: 7875 gp
Slipping an Oil of Firey Burning down the back of Sarevok's armor: Priceless

I dont know. You should maybe make a seperate post for this.
My Ranger in IWD learned her spells automatically.
