One Moonblade is not enough to turn a pure Wizard into a Tank--but trust me, once you've given him all the kickass Mage gear (which you were going to get anyway), Xan actually is worth putting into a melee. As long as you make sure your Tank gets in there first, Xan will actually carve his initials into the flanks of a fair number of Gnolls (or whatever).

You're right, Xan has lousy CON and pathetic hitpoints. So just make sure he doesn't get hit. Xan has 16 DEX, whereas Edwin has 10, Dynaheir has 13, and Xzar can't cast Mirror Image.
