Ajantis (the Paladin you were speaking of) is actually a great (though annoying) character--he just needs the Gauntlets of Dexterity. Of course, so do Yeslick, Canderous, Edwin, etc, etc, etc.
I almost always use the pentagonal formation myself, with me on point and my Theives & Mages in the very back. Minsc hold the center slot, as his AC isn't as good as Kivan's or Canderous's.
Kivan actually starts out with 2 stars in Spear, so give him a Halberd instead of a 2-handed sword.
