use the dracon for your fighter. it has the extra points you will need and the ability to breath acid.
dont bother with a rogue if you're getting a bard. try getting a second bishop (preferably an elf). this one should study mage and alchemist since they are linked basically.
your second bishop (fairy so you can experiment between the two) should study priest and psionic so all spellbooks are covered.
i would get a bard finally. (s)he can also double as a militia with the ok strength and vitality (especially if you choose a mook).
if you really want a ranger, you can recruit sparkle (if you can put up with her [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] ). you will also need some strength so recruit vi and/or rfs-81.
in closing, spend points in vitality for all characters. recuit rpc's that are strong so that you can defend your other bishops. thanks for listening to these tips. ive never used only 4 characters but i imagine it may work.
good luck,
