Ok, melusine. Both a multiclass fighter/thief and a fighter dualled to a thief is much better than the regular thief. I prefer the fighter dualled to a thief. Why? Because a normal thief has terribel THACO, cannot specialize in weapons (except swashbuckler), and has a lot lower hit points. If you dual a fighter at level 9, you can get to the same level as a regular thief. The problem with the swashbuckler is that it can't backstab, which is the thief's best ability. The swashbuckler can't get as low THACO as a fighter/thief or get grand mastery in a weapon (not that important, but still).
