That also rules out multiclassing. Generic Archer is a fighter kit. You can only have a kit if you single class or dual class (and then only in the class you are dualing from, not that you are dualing to). Thus, if you are a demihuman (any of the non human races), you are limited to single class generic archer (barring cheating, but I won't discuss that). Humans can be single class or dual class generic archer to some other non-kit class (same options open to any other fighter). If human, you can do generic archer to mage, generic archer to thief, generic archer to cleric, or generic archer to druid.
Keldorn and Anomen are good for tanking, allowing you to kick back and shoot from a distance (however, generic archers are decent in a melee battle, as well). Solafein (sp?) is solid (mage with solid tanking ability). Yoshimo to Imoen works for your thief. This is already a well-rounded party, but you still have 2 slots. Aerie is solid (especially in ToB), but maybe try Jaheira instead (for the druid spells, plus she is a great tank with spells). You could also try Jan (the only thief you can advance through the game, plus a mage to boot). The choice is up to you (so try some people you haven't used before).
