Try the Swashbuckler/Mage.

Swashbuckle your way to level 11 and than dual to mage.

Another fun one is Swashbuckler/Fighter. Put 4 slots in Katana
and a Celestial Fury in each hand and watch the giblets fly.

Lots of attacks... 4 per round. ( I'm at level 15 )
Armor class of -10 to -12 easily achievable. ( while double wielding ! )
THACO -7 -5

Armor doesn't seem to have any affect of the important thieving skills
...find trap/set trap/pick lock-pocket so you can wear full plate.

Why? (I've never tried to play a Monk)

Monk is a relatively more powerful class than other general classes, at least before the patch is available. The patch tuned down alot of his abilities.

Long live H22A1!!!!!

Anyone know what min/maxing is?

Swashbuckler's thaco is low than Fighter right? (is yes, is it a huge difference or not?)

I'm thinking about to try a cleric/mage/thief multi class

I know you're planning a solo career but also you have 2 people funny pary alternatives!!

Here we go!

First,
Ladies and Ladies! We got a honeymoon kit for you in this kit, you will share your amazing adventures with a holy and charming and kind (and stupid) man: Anomen. He's a great cleric and also a fighter. With Crom Faeyr and Flail Of Ages in his hands he will protect you! And you can be a sexy thief/mage. (Why all the thief/mages are female??!)

This party was for female characters and here we go if you like family relationships we got a brother-sister party yeahh you and Imo!

Imoen got the mage and thief part
You got the fighting and clerical things

More??
There's lots of! But nothing like solo I agree but also 2 people parties are also funny
