Unless your purposefuly going without a potion mixer, private sparkle ( lvl 6 ranger ) at the umpani base camp has alchemy. With a few levels and / or a little training im sure you could get it to the level you need to mix the potions you want.

I dont know about private sparkle for a rpc, I would choose someone that will stay with you through ascension peak, which would be RFS, Vi, or Sax. With a little trickery you can also use glumph or drazic and rodan, but not untill a lot later in the game ( probably best to take the early RPC's ).

A RPC commonly overlooked is myles. He is amazing in the early game with bloodlust. He will outfight your best fighter untill a while later. Problem is he can't go to many of the later areas, but he is good for early help.

Sax is a great choice, since the bard instruments come in handy early and just when you need them ( freeze all, heal all ), and before your other guys will have access to the same spells. You can also get him Pucks cap which will boost his music skill by 10, with 100 in music and pucks cap he can use all his items even in an area which he hates.

Unless you want to have to move every round I recommend you give just 3 of your fighters close range weapons and put them up front, then give the rest of your fighters extended range weapons ( like the staff of doom ) and have them in the middle or on the flanks.

The way you have it set up you will have to reposition all the time so everyone can reach the enemy, which can be a pain.
