Let's see--the most obvious drawback is being restricted to only being able to cast spells from scrolls. That means you can cast Time Stop, what, twice in the whole game? And Time Traps don't really cover the gap. Sure, you get more weapon proficiencies, but you only need to know two, maybe even 3 weapons--anything more than that is just extra versatility.

Sure, Fighter/Thief's a good combo, but it's not going to measure up to Fighter/Mage or Thief/Mage.
