Ah, Alter Boy = Transmuter.
@shark20061 - I think it'll be fine for you to be in the middle.
Here's one good formation, left being the back, right being the front:
--- Code: ---ppJS
m LM
--- End code ---
m is Maoun on his donkey, p are the other pack animals, J is Jace, L is Sho Lee, S is Samuel(me), M is Michael. Maoun can detect any threats behind us and watch our pack animals (and Jace), and I assume he could fly to the front pretty easily if we needed him there. We also have Michael in the front for fighting, and me for shooting and trap-searching. Sho Lee in the middle means he is close to the front if we need him (Michael can just step forward and give him access), and he also has pretty good access to the back if we're ambushed (Maoun just has to move back, but that could be a problem with the whole ambush thing).
Here's an alternate possibility:
--- Code: ---mppJM
L S
--- End code ---
It's a little less compact, but Sho Lee has easier access to the back, and a bit more difficult access to the front. I still have easy access to the front and an open line of fire, but I'm one space further back and out of danger.
If we're really worried about internal maneuverability we can also stagger the formation a bit in exchange for more space:
--- Code: ---mppJ M
L S
--- End code ---
Now Sho Lee has room to maneuver to the front and the back (it takes a couple of moves though). Plus Jace doesn't have easy access to steal from as many people.
My vote is for the second formation.

I keep wanting to type "Sho Li" instead of "Sho Lee"
And yes, the Klepto is also conveniently claustrophobic, absentminded, AND hard-of-hearing. This has potential.
"Where'd you get that beer?"
"I found it."
"Where did you find it?"
"...you know, I'm not sure."
"Are you sure that's not my beer?"
...anyway, is a 20 on a saving throw a success? I've been playing so many THAC0 games lately that it's hard to keep straight.
Matt_S:
Uh-oh, I think 20 is a failure.
shark20061:
That's a success. You are trying to meet or beat the number in the saving throw table.
Matt_S:
Ah. Yes, you're right. I guess it was skill rolls where low rolls are good.
