| One thing to consider is whether you want a character who can backstab. IMO, that's the biggest difference between a Swashbuckler and a Fighter dualled to a Thief.
I agree with nephtu: you should also consider playing a multi-class Fighter/Thief. Your levels won't be as high at the same amount of experience, but you'll get High Level Abilities somewhere around 3 million experience points whichever path you choose, and having Fighter as well as Thief HLAs is really pretty cool. |
