Also good is the swashbuckler/mage. If you dual-class at level 10, you get a +3 to AC (compared to +2 for the Kensai), you can use missile weapons (you can actually put 2 slots in the short bow or sling), you can put 3 slots in two weapon style like the Kensai can, and you have thief skills. Drawbacks: no backstab multiple (didn't get one for Kensai, anyway), combat bonuses not as high as Kensai, lower hit points, higher Thaco, and no advanced specialization. I think either Kensai/mage or Swashbuckler/mage is good, depending on what you need to round out your party. If you are playing a good-only party, swashbuckler/mage is a good choice (there are a ton of good-aligned warriors as NPCs, and only Nalia as your thief, at least until you get Imoen back).
