Back in the day, Bishops were useful members, primarily (IMO) for their ability to ID items. Currently, I'm not so sure.
I tend to select by task, rather than profession. So, in no particular order:
A magic user for offense, the heavy artillery.
A healer who can defend, the Medic.
A foot soldier, proficient in all weapons, the Infantry.
A lockpick, S-4.
A specialist, Special Operations/Equipment.
A sharpshooter, Close Air Support.
Draftees. Mortars.
My current party, in the same order w/current kills & weapons.
Faire Mage 786 Wrist Rocket (Sneer not)
Mook Psionic 320 Double shot Sling
Lizardman Fighter 532 Strong Bow/Dread Spear
Human Bard 252 Great Bow
Dracon Gagetter 318 3X Crossbow
Human Ninja 360 Mystic Spear
Drafted:
SAX (to Ranger) 103 Eagle Eye Bow
VI 80 3X crossbow/Dread Spear
Plan of battle:
Bards in PSYOPS
Magic Users in Artillery
Everyone else in mortars.
Bards to medical or CAS as needed.
Close with and destroy the enemy as appropriate.
Works for me.
