Well, the only reason I keep a Thief around is to disarm traps, some of which are very dangerous (Dragon's Eye also has a lot of nasty traps), and Backstab. Pick Locks is unnecessary, since any of your Fighters will have the Str to bash them open in IWD. But with a Fighter/Thief, a high-level Backstab can do tons of damage, over 80 damage is not out of the ordinary. I don't think a single-class Thief is worth it, but I'll always bring a multi-class Thief with me.
