There is a random HQ morning star at start and then +1 mace’s in Vale.
You'll need the bow to start off with since your THAC0 will suck for melee in HoF (1 PP only: take note) - you'll be able to replace bow with throwing axe by level 9. Replace Mace with +2 Confusion Sword during Dragon's Eye.

Ranger Cleric (good mc) [assuming tank 2]
Hammer 1_1
Missile 1_1
Flail 3_6
Mace 9_12
Club 15_18
+1 hammer in Vale then the +2 flail in Dragon's Eye & a +1 hammer that can hit anything.

Gnome Fighter Mage (evil mc)
Mace 1_1
Bow 1_1
Axe 3_6
Spear 9_12
Large Sword 15_18 (a very nice +4 coming in HoW)
Missile 21_24
Staff 27_30
+1 mace in Vale then +2 axe in Dragon's Eyes ... +3 spear then a +5 spear. There are also some HoW staves down the road. Gives you chance to fight close with shield or without one ; )
Spells to start:
Armor
Grease
Then:
Magic Missile (disrupt)
Horror (not level dependent)
Web (not level dependent)

Fighter Druid (neutral mc)
Dagger 1_1
Missile 1_1
Club 3_6
Large Sword 9_12
+1 dagger in Vale and some nice daggers in Dragon's Eye and a possible +3 club. The scimitars will come later…

Fighter Mage Thief (neutral mc)
Bow 1_1
Large Sword 1_1
This guy will almost always be using the bow, so...
Spells to start:
Armor
Chromatic Orb
Then:
Burning Hands
Agannazar's Scorcher
Stinking Cloud

Bard (evil)
Missile 1
Dagger 1
This guy will almost always be singing or spell casting - use buckler shield until you can buy that item that goes in your armpit down the road
Spells:
Chromatic Orb (life saver)
Acid Arrow (disrupt)

Note that the spells for all above can get you quite a ways into the game all by themselves -- wouldn't be quite as fun though. You may have too many mages though...consider a C/T instead of the M/T (the Gnomes can be a husband and wife team or try a human DC - this last requires good timing though.)
