I'm a little frustrated with the henchpeople. It seems you need to take Tomi, or else you miss out on a great deal of treasure and even some areas. The other skills have been replaced, healing is not needed due to the abundance of potions, wizards don't really need fighters because they can summon creatures from level 1, but there's no cheap fix for disarming traps/opening locks. The brute force method works, but not until later you get some decent magical weapons, plus a few dozen hps.

My ranger has used Linu. She seems pretty weak in chapter 2, but she does well in chapter 1. Plus, I like her stories and her personality.

Daelan is cool as well, and a nasty fighter.

I haven't tried the other three. I've used Sharwyn a little, but with opening locks but no disarming traps, she's only marginally useful.
