The swashbuckler has some ac, thaco- and damage-bonuses (not much but still), and get all the thief-skills (except backstab). I only want him to get a certain amount of skills, namely detect illusions, find traps, open locks and a little in set trap, and if he dual at level 10 he will get another proficiency point, and another ac, thaco, damage -bonus (+ a snare-ability I think). If I choose a gnome illussionist/thief, he will have more thief skills than I need, and not be as good a mage as the swashbuckler/mage.
I dual the fighter because I want to be grandmaster in short bow, and get to high level as a mage later in the game.
I dual the ranger to a cleric because he/she will then get more proficiency points, and can cast higher level spells than the multiclassed ranger/cleric.
