Aasmir or Human Cleric?
Human or Tiefling Rogue?

Cleric - Aasimir for the extra 4 ability points w/o penalty, but no multi-classing except with Paladin (Ilmater). Though you could go Drow (female), but you didn't ask.

Rogue - Teifling. Charisma penalty is neglible. Extra skill points and ability points are helpful.

Aasmir Cleric is great. +4 ability points. but you get a penalty -1 level :( (

About rogues, I prefer human. for extra feat and extra points. tieflings dont take any extra skill points

let's include bards too [img]smile.gif[/img]

my opinion is:

human rogue
aasmir cleris
aasmir bard

I have both an Aasimar Paladin and a Cleric. Both do well, and the -1 level has
not been a problem. I did have a drow sorceress in one party, but the -2 levels
was just too much for this class.
