If you've finished Nalia's keep, go ahead and drop her (between you, Aerie, and Jan, you have plenty of mage power). Jan is a better thief than Nalia (by far). This will make your party much more versatile, while having a strong amount of mage spells (useful later in the game); you are a fighter/mage, Aerie is cleric/mage, and Jan is a thief/illusionist (thus, touch all bases). Jaheira provides the extra priest spells (plus ones that Aerie and Viconia can't use), and is a better backup fighter than Viconia. Minsc is your main warrior. Dropping Nalia and adding Valygar to this group would actually work quite well. He has an 18 dexterity (making him decent with missiles), and can backstab like a thief. Since Jan is not strong in sneaking around, Valygar would become your main scout/backstabber, plus fights well enough to back Minsc up (put his katana that he comes with in his off hand, and put Celestial Fury in his main hand; he will become a serious force to reckon with!). Viconia WILL cause problems with Aerie (and with any other good-aligned members of your party); she even antagonizes Jan at one point. Go with Valygar, and leave Viconia in the graveyard (or better yet, leave her on the stake).
