F/M/T is a waste of xp

The Mage can duplicate the major abilities of the theif (invisability for stealth , knock spell for pick locks). The only missing ability is the find traps , and clerics have that ability. And guess what ? Clerics arn't that bad in a fight and have spells too.

Cleric/Mages are the most versitile charactars, and only being 2 classes instead of three they go up a lot faster in levels than any 3 class combo.

Duel Class Theif Then Mage is probably tops though. The Theif class can fight, even duel weild if you let it go to level 10 or 12 before switching. Since you're playing solo you can rack him up in levels half way through the game, then switch to mage and restart the game keeping him, and when the mage passes him (level 12 is good) you get both abilities. A bow wielding mage with tons of summoned monsters rocks. For solo play.
