Once again I've got bored with my present party so thought I would go out the whole hog and have a complete hybrid party as follows:-

Human Lord (dual maces)
Human Valkyrie (polearm of course)
Felpurr Samurai (swords and the critical hits)
Faerie Ninja (CoC to see what the fuss is about and the critical hits)
Human Monk (Critical hits, Martial Arts or Staff?) advice here please?
Mook Ranger (just for THE sword as well as the ranged criticals)

I realise that this will be a slow building party with no magic until level 5 but was wondering about giving them one level of the appropriate magic school to get some extra magic points. I would stagger this so it happens before level 5 is reached (for example, Samurai to Mage and Lord to Priest at L2, Ninja and Ranger to Alchemist at L3 etc).

Is this feasible? Also, if I then switch back to, for example the Samurai, will my Wizardry and magic realms go up if I cast the spell Frost enough times or do they only go up once you reach level 5 (or level six in this example)?

I should add that I have used Bards and Gadgeteers in other parties but felt like a change. I know I can pick up RFS-81 at the swamp but wanted to cover all four magic schools.

I also like the fact that I would eventually have six portal casters and 3 casters for Summon Elemental.

Also, as I have four front line fighters does it matter who I put on the flanks?

What does everybody think? Any comments/constructive criticisms?

Thanks in adavnce for any replies.
