I am currently running a half-orc cleric/thief. It's an odd little combo, but I like the way it works.

As a half-orc, he can have a 19 STR, which works out nicely with backstabs. Since he can use heavy armor - although not with his thief skills - I can make him a tank with spells like DUHM or Righteous Magic if I so choose. Give him the Shadow Dragon Armor and he gets to use his thief skills/backstab (if you don't have this, it is still possible to backstab in heavy armor using a little trick I discovered - if you want to know it, tell me and I'll post it later).

The only disadvantage that I have found is that the only two weapons he can backstab with are the quarterstaff and the club, and there just aren't any really exciting ones in the game, although there's a +4 Staff available early.
