Oh yeah, One last thing about the Ranger/Thief combo too. Once the character can use both classes, you get one hell of a backstab. For however many attacks the Ranger gets in a round, you can backstab with it. My Ranger is allowed two attacks per round and he gets like damage x 5 with his backstab. Most times (with his strength bonus and the weapon damage bonus) I do like 110 - 130 points of damage with 1 attack. This will allow him to get up to 260 points of damage with his 1st attack. Not too shabby. Granted, a straight fighter could get this too, but with the stealth option of the Ranger assisting the thief, you get a more well rounded thief than you could with just a fighter. Just a thought.
