I reckon that Faeries are harder to look after than other races, so perhaps a begginner should try stronger spellcasters, who can carry more (a begginner won't be as certain as an experienced player about what he wants to keep or sell) and might be a little tougher.
Also you might want to point out that it's best to avoid recruiting NPCs because they take experience from your other characters. In my main game (I haven't completed a game yet) I've had Vi and RFS tag along and they're both level 20 or so, and I've only just discovered that my other people could be better. It wasn't mentioned in the manual.
Also, I saw someone reccomend putting bards/spellcasters in the first three spaces because they act first after walking. This is good advice, and is opposite to the advice in the manual, which tells players to put fighter types first because they are put in the front row in the starting party formation (which can easily be changed).
