This looks like it's going cause some arguments this thread so I thought i'd join in. The makers have simply tried to create a large variety of characters to appeal to anyone who plays it. Just because you think a character sucks, doesn't mean others will.
Swashbucklers- the whole point of the character is that he's a fighter thief in the one class, he levels up quickly because he's a single class. The best thief in my opinion. Doesn't suffer thieves skill penalties like the assassin and the bounty hunter.
Wizard slayer- Agreed the cost is a bit steep for his benifits, but it's far from useless. I used a dwarf wizard slayer in my first game and every spell was bouncing off him because of his magic resistance and wizards have no chance of casting spells around him for long.
