In line with Magness, I look to a party as ideally having 3 fighters, 1 to 1 and half healers and 1 and half mages, plus someone who can do the thieving skills. You really need two fighters with over 18/76 THACOs, and then another who can at least still hit things. Don't forget to use your defensive spells before a big battle. Spells like chant, resist fear, protection from fire (for both their fire attacks and your own), stone skin, minor deflection, globe of invulnerability, etc, all have their uses, and just about every caster should have 1 dispel magic memorized.
