hello to the forum! :)

could you guys give me a little suggestion about my rougue and mage?
i haven't decided on the weapon specialisation on him. my party looks like this

front row
Lizard Fighter - (dual wielding) Light Weapons, Armor, Critical
Minotaur Barb - Heavy Weapons, Accuracy, Armor

back row
Ratling Rougue - Critical, Dodge, ???
Human BattleMage - (fast learner) Fire, concentration, Alchemy

I don't know what weapons give to rougue... on one hand he gets penalty for dual wialding reduced to 25%, and he could use Light weapons that benefit from high Dex since my barb and fighter are Str oriented. But i will have to invest two points in Accuracy to have ability to attach from the back row. On the other side I don't have any character that is using ranged weapons... are they good? I know that ammo is recoverable, but for now my rat shoots few times and end without ammunition.

and what about mage? I assume that Fire is allways good idea, but I was wondering - will I need another school? Which one should I pick? extra XP from human race and Fast Learner should give me extra level, maybe two, am I right?

Rogue: Ammo for missile weapons becomes more plentiful later on. I have 12 arrows and I'm not very far (lvl 6 party).

My rogue has high missile weapons, 2 accuracy and 2 light weapons. I kinda regret doing so because most battles aren't that long for me to use up all ammo and resorting to melee. Making him a second magic user might have been a better choice. Overall though I think missile weapons are pretty good, you also have a possibility to get a pretty good bow early on.

Mage: If you're going with a fire mage air magic is important. At some point you'll need to decide to focus more on magic (other schools) or giving more options by way of using other weapons.
