Since you seem to be light in the mage department, choose a "Female" Bard. They're good backup mages and the Bardsongs are "Very Useful". With their high charisma, they can front for your party in merchant negotiations on weapons, scrolls, etc...mine has saved me a bundle of gold. Also, being a female, you don't have to worry about roleplaying "some f****t in tights. Mine is blonde, an elf, and wears red tights...she's a hotty so I don't mind her at all.
