@Sacred_Path: In order to use throwing weapons just equip them into your hand and attack in combat, dirks are weapons, not items for using.
I fear your party won't work well.
@Yoga: Bullwhip is a horrible weapon, especially for mages who can't learn this weapon skill. Quarterstaff is much better.
The Brave is running around naked without pants
. (and without gloves)
The bo the monk started with is better than a quarterstaff but hands and feet are even much better. The bard has bad and missing armor.
If possible try to get +1 to SPD for the brave fighter at each of the next 2 level ups (64,000 + 128,000 XP) so with 11 SPD she can switch to Valkyrie at level 9 and learn some spells.
Another possibly if DEX is raised to 11 at the next level up is switching your fighter to ranger immediately and use the next level ups to raise SPD to 11 and switch to Valkyrie when you reach level 8 again.
