You have a Cleric, a Mage, and a Tank. If you want another party member, your best off with a secondary Mage or Cleric, and a potentially high-level thief. That makes Jan a must. You *could* go with Nalia and boot her for Imoen, but neither of them levels as a thief. You *could* go with Yoshi, but he is a thief only. You *could* go with Viconia or Edwin, but then you`re without a thief. Jan is the only single NPC who satisfies both requirements.
Little hint for using Jan properly... only one, maybe two, of your thief skills realy matter, because the Mage part of him will serve for atleast two of the other skills. Three if you`re willing to sacrifice a tiny bit of XP that you`ll get anyway...
