Some things to keep in mind with IWD2 and the new rules:
1. ALL classes advance with the same experience. Gone are the days when thieves needed less than anyone else. Ergo, your rogue will not be ahead of the rest of the group.
2. Under normal difficulty and with the typical party of six, you can expect an ending level of 16 (average) for your group. If you do even, or mostly even, multiclassing, those characters won't be as competent as a single-class one.
3. You do have to watch for the "favored" class if you decide to multi. All races except pure human and half-elves have a favored class (whichever is higher at the time). As long as one class is the favored, it doesn't matter if development is uneven. For instance, rogue is favored for Halflings. Should you have a Halfling Rogue/Fighter 3/6, no problem. However, if you had a Halfling Cleric/Fighter 3/6, you'd suffer an experience penalty because the levels are more than one apart.
4. Any class can acquire the basic thief skills of hide, move silently, search, pick lock, pick pockets, and remove traps. They won't be as good as a real rogue, nor will they get the special rogue feats and abilities.
