Illusionist is the favored class for Gnomes. Rogue (thief) is favored for halflings.
Anyway, rogues shouldn't be running around in the front of combat, at least not early on. Bows are the best weapon for them to use because of their high dex bonus. You want to keep your rogue near the back and use him/her as a sniper.
Which brings us to, what else do you have in your group? That can make a difference, too.
