I’ve given this some thought. I think there is some merit in the idea that the fourth member won’t add much, particularly because one of the players is likely able to swap out to a rezzer or porter as required.
So the real question is which race/class combo adds nothing but at the smallest cost?
The answer is simple. A level 5 halfling rogue. Ostensibly useful as a dragbot, or for carrying loot, it also has such a low xp cost that it will likely increase the xp the others gain on account of group bonuses. This will take the sting off those occasional charm break deaths or group wipes.
Adding sneak also has the benefit of allowing the group to sell to any vendor as well as unlocking many more quests.
So yea thread move to resolved.
The answer was lvl 5 halfling rogue.

You say that the halfling rogue is supposed to sit in group and give extra xp, except clearly this will result in the entire group getting no more xp after the teens because one group member is too low. Terrible idea, have you even considered the math? 10% group bonus of 0 xp is 0. You're spreading misinformation and lies on an everquest board and I cannot let this slide on my pride as a neckbeard. It shows a gross understanding of basic game mechanics.
The best idea is clearly a high level bard who will sit in group and sing manasong and regen song every tick but disband from the group every time they kill a monster. Also they should snare the mob and off tank, but all making sure they dont leech any xp. Before anyone says that a lvl 60 druid to port and cast POTG is better remember that the 2nd enchanter already has a pocket druid who is casting that. So a druid is totally useless as the 4th invisible member of this group, even if they sit out of group. It's just unfortunately impossible for druids to contribute on p99 because everyone has leveled a 60 druid after 12 years on the Project. People should never roll druids anymore. I hear that if you just whine enough in EC someone will give you a free dial druid bot account.
