You can get through the trilogy without using haste spells or potions, so just avoid them unless you really need to. You can find a few potions which rejuvenate in the game, but not many IIRC.
For some characters the starting age is random, so it's worth rerolling until you get the youngest possible roll.
Knights are quite useful because of their high hitpoints and the ability to cast heal and resurrection. You can do quite some damage with two attacks per round, they are especially useful versus enemies immune to magic. You don't need more than 2-3 characters able to cast delayed blast fireball in your party of 6. If a knight dies, don't bother. Since they are no elves you can simply cast resurrection.
