It's not that barbarians aren't strong. They can be a really good option to play too. The only thing I really like about the thief class is the stealth and backstab. If you choose a thief alone though, you are really limited. A really good combo is a fighter/thief. You don't have to dual-class a human to get this option either. A really good choice would be a dwarf. They may not have as high a dexterity, but they do get the con bonus and aren't usually too shabby as a fighter. I just prefer humans though. If you could class change from a thief to a barbarian, I'd say all for it. But I can't even change from a thief to a Ranger. Well, when the new games come out (3rd edition) we will have better options. They allow characters (any) to multi-class. Even humans. I really do like the BERSERK option of the Barbarian too btw. This is what you called RAGE. And yes, they definitely get good hitpoints.
