First thing I would suggest would be to cheat. Get Barbas.

Other than that, you'd proably make good use of a shield.

Out of curiosity, how strict are these rules? Are you the only one allowed to improve your equipment via smithing? Is the theif among you only allowed to use a bow? Is your mage forbidden to use any armor at all? Since buying things improves speech, is the theif the only one allowed to buy things? And as already stated, what's the stance on followers?
