I finished an all Elven party run last night with an F/T, Kivan, Coran, Viconia, Secret NPC and Xan and it was awesome. Luckily aside from the occasional sniping, Viconia and Kivan never came to blows despite having them both as early as possible and never needing to drop them (with an 18 charisma, up to 20 after the nymph cloak).
And yeah, the f/t was killer. as soon as i was able to pick up the staff+3 and the sand thief ring, combined with some invisibility spells from xan and mr.b and DUHM and she was hitting for huge amounts of damage, possibly my new favourite class
and lastly the Potion of Magic Shielding (50% damage reduction from magic, all saving throws automatically successful). Now in all my playthroughs i'm something of a hoarder and i'll never use any potions or wands much, but i decided this playthrough to splash the cash and invest in the potions of magic shielding, blocking and protection. i used the PoMS against Aec and i smashed him first time, fairly easily, without even having to backstab. the f/t holds his attention, while the rest of the team kills the mage and the cult members, then we all pitch in and finish him. then sarevok, i probably could have solo'd with the PoMS and PoMB. the rest of the team stayed at the door and ambushed the mage when he teleported over and the f/t backstabbed with the staff of striking, sandthiefed, rinse and repeat.
tldr: f/t are awesome, potions of magic shielding and blocking makes anybody awesome.
