As it stands now, you've got 4 fighting classes and only 3 spots to put them, so one of them's stuck in the 4th position (or behind) and has to use long-range weapons. You might as well have extra spellcasting power and keep the ability to use a long-range weapon from that spot.

You might want to try creating a sorcerer from scratch and dumping one of your other characters in Perinn. I did that once when I wanted to get rid of my rogue (my spellcasters learned DISARM) and he wasn't qualified to be much else. Just build a new sorcerer, and keep him away from breathers for a couple levels. Set whoever has the highest agility in your party against the breathers, so you can kill them before they attack. Make sure to rest up every time you can get your new sorcerer three or four levels, and he'll be caught up to the rest of your troop in no time.

If you're going to turn another character into a sorcerer, I find rogues rather useless once you learn DISARM. Assassins and knights carry better weapons, and spellcasters can do more damage from far. I did find a very expensive Rogue's Cowl, and I'm a bit disappointed that I can't use it, but at least it pays for six very expensive trips to the Inn.

When creating a new character, bear in mind whether you ultimately intend it to be a druid or an assassin, and make sure you leave enough points lying around that you can get their strength up to 26 or their IQ/wisdom up to 20 in a hurry, should the need arise.
