I always use clerics who are competent in another field as well, such as a Ranger/Cleric, or Aerie.
Not too sure about Keldorn either to be honest. Normally one would want him for his Dispel Magics and True Sights, but with two pureclassed mages and a pure cleric in your party, I think you should do fine even without his special abilities. It may be so that Keldorn is a great fighter even without his Inquisitor bonuses, but there are better ones. Minsc and Mazzy (especially her) are two examples, IMHO Mazzy is the best Fighter NPC in the game, she's not forced to use either Shortbows or Short swords just because that's what she's proficient in. You could easily work your way up to Grand Master in another weapon long before ToB, I gave her a Throwing Spear myself. [img]smile.gif[/img]
If it was up to me, I'd ditch Keldorn and Viconia and have Aerie and Minsc or Mazzy take their places.

Wait a second there good buddy, how are you going to enphasize that my party hasn't got good melee power? You just haven't used Keldorn to his fullest extent like I haven, but don't take True Sight for granted, it comes handy in sticky situations against wizards. But honestly, I don't know why you'd use Aerie
melee wise, because you'd have to use a lot of really good equipment to make her a half way decent tank. To make a good tank, you need some good decent hp, which she doesn't have in quantity. But I will agree with you on Mazzy and Minsc, though I still go along with my personal favorite tanks
Ps- Screw it! I give up on trying to defend Viconia!
