Yep--if you boot a dead person from the party, they are gone forever. And Montaron is far from useless, he's a damn good Fighter/Thief. Xzar is quite potent as well, it's just that having a low Constitution is a real drawback in the early stages of the game.
In both cases, having a high Charisma can postpone intra-party conflicts--perhaps even forever, if it's high enough.
