| Well...
Race
Human (You can only use Swashy/Cleric as a Human, since they are the only ones who can dual-class)
Aligment... Dunno, choose what you like! (Evil Cleric will be able to charm undeads instead of destroying them... But you won't get Holy Words and anti-evil spells...)

Dual-class it either at lvl 10 or 15 (Since Swashbucklers get bonuses each 5 levels). lvl10 would be good enough to have both detect traps and lockpicks to 100 (enough to beat the game), and to pick another skill (Could be Set Traps, Hide In Shadow/Stealth, or Pickpocket... but it won't be too high). Waiting until lvl15 will gives you 100 more thievery points... so you can master another skill! If you decide to go through ToB, dual-classing at lvl15 should be a good idea, since you'll get plenty of XP anyway... and will level fast as a thief and as a cleric... so you'll gain levels quickly.
You friend should dual-class either at lvl 7, 9, 12 or 13, but I would recommend 13 if you go through ToB... if you don't, dual-class at lvl9.  |
