Killer Ted, if you haven't tried a thief you are in for a pleasant surprise. If you try one for the 4th position, you will find they have the best combat skills next to a fighter. Their backstab multiplies the damage (2x then 3x then...). They have stealth and best lock skills. I use them like a fighter up front. Although their armor is less they make up for it easily. If you want magic, too, try a ninja. They take longer to build but lots of kills later. BTW - If you have a bishop, you will have to force the ninja to use magic in battle to be any good at it. It's too tempting to have the bishop do all offensive magic in combat for a small party similar to yours. Hobbits and humans make excellent thieves.

Edit: fixed a hoobit
