Is a F/M/C viable in a 6 person party? Options

[Redwall]

I've beaten Tactics and Ascension and am planning on playing this for my next play through.

Anyways, I've never used a F/M/C and I'd like to try it but I'm scared that it'll end up being useless just because there won't be enough experience. I heard there's an item that can help with that a little, but is it enough for a six person party?

I like to consider myself as a decent player, but I know I'm not the best, so dragging around dead weight probably wouldn't work out. I used a Kesnai/Mage for tactics, which worked out well, but I'd like a change.

My party will look something like:

Protagonist: F/M/C
Keldorn
Korgan
Ranger dualed to Cleric
Edwin?
Imoen (I may use a multiplayer Sorcerer in this slot until I rescue her)

I normally run a little heavy on the magic side. This would actually be my most melee heavy party.

Be aware that Keldorn will occasionally be made to run a way like a frightened girl by the very experienced evil clerics.

Also, be aware that playing an FMC instead of say a ranger or necromancer will result in you missing some of the new material that Improved Anvil brings to the game. ... I think, but you may be able to play the expanded mage stronghold?

I personally don't think that the FMC is an optimal choice. The leveling progression is slowed, and HLAs come to the multiclasses later than the other characters.

Welcome to IA. I hope you have fun.
