the whole point of hide in shadows or move silently is to backstab, so for minsc (who can't backstab) its sorta useless. It also doesn't work with higher than studded leather armor (which he will be wearing). I guess you could give him weaker armor and use it to scout ahead, though.
But, for Jan, set traps is probably the way to go (after find traps and lockpick), because even with a 5x backstab modifier he will never to huge backstab damage. And if you really must backstab with him, drink a invis potion or use the once-a-day invis ring.
