Personally, I'd leave Imoen as a thief - you're going to need a decent rogue later on when you reach Durlag's Tower anyway, and perhaps pick up Dynaheir or Xan if you really want a spellcaster [img]smile.gif[/img]
Actually, I've always found Bards to be invaluable... They can cover several areas in several classes to round out a party...
