Yee-ha, go for it Loudhy!

If I were you, I'd change one of your alchemists to a bishop if you are going to change any of them. Some of the best spells the alchemist has are cloud spells, and casting a cloud spell twice is pointless (until the first cloud spell has dissipated).

If your alchemist becomes a bishop early enough, you could have him/her study mage spells. Direct damage spells like fireball, iceball etc. are twice as effective if cast by 2 or more characters. 2 fireballs are better than 1, 2 toxic clouds are not (well hardly).

I ran 2 samurai in a party once and had them double up their spell attacks, very effective. Specialist magic casters more so. Your alchemist-bishop would still have cloud spells but now could team up with the mage in doing some damage while your other alchemist does the clouding.

I wouldn't try and make any bishops study much priest or psionic spells, you should have more than enough already. 1 Psionic should be enough, since they hardly do much direct damage, prefering instead to disable enemies.

Just some ideas I had when I thought about running an all-caster party myself, hope they help. [img]smile.gif[/img]
