Swashbuckler is best for frontal assault thieves...they're the best non-dual classed thief fighters you can get for humans. (If you're non-human, you can go with fighter/thief multiclass, but you don't go up levels as quickly.)

Swashbuckler...put two profs in longsword and two profs in dual-wield when creating your character. There are far better longswords than shortswords in this game, and a swashbuckler isn't going to be worrying about backstabbing (which you can do with a longsword, though). Have him/her wield the Blade of Roses as soon as possible. Also, later put profs in Katana and get Celestial Fury from the Guarded Compound...dual-wielding Celestial Fury with the Blade of Roses and you've got a powerhouse!

Best bard kit...hm, either Skald (for the bard song) or Blade (for the offensive/defensive spin). Personally, I'd go with Skald, but a lot of people like the Blade kit. But Haer'Dalis is a blade in the game already, so there are no natural skald NPC's.
