Personally I favour multi classed (not dual) fighter/thieves. They can defend themselves properly if caught out whilst scouting or thieving, they can go "toe to toe" with a bad enemy after a backstab attempt as well and they get some great special abilities. Theres plenty of decent armour and equipment out there for them too. Yes i know they take longer to level up but youre still getting your fighter THAC0 bonuses, weapon prof's etc all the way through and you get 25 thief points to divvy out when your thief levels. They are a brilliant class later in the game when theyve gone up a few levels. Try one
EDIT: PS. i play with no XP cap so if you dont remove it i dont know where you would max out for the 2 classes.
