Elf fighter/thief gets bonuses to bow, longsword, dex, stealth and can see in the dark. Halfling fighter/thief has bonuses for sling, dex, has limited infravision, and pluses for all thieving skills, esp. stealth, which is, in my opinion, the most important. Either of these characters is extemely versatile, tough, able to wear elven chain and still use thief skills, switch to plate when in the thick of combat, able to scout out new areas to prepare the rest of your party for what lies ahead... In many areas, I've found my fighter/thief has managed to clear out most of the rabble by his or herself, or spotted the enemy (in shadow, of course) and let the others just pick 'm off one by one. Either way, a valuable member of any team, either one.
