??? 3 dual classed thieves? What are you talking about? I have 2 thieves (and one Blade that can pickpocket). Swashbuckler->Mage does all the lockpicking/detecting traps work (and also some dispelling of illusions and basic trap-setting), and the Kensai->Thief is the offensive theif, doing all the backstabbing, doing the big nasty traps and also dispelling illusions.
And I'm playuing all the way through SoA and ToB with this party, not just one or the other.

and with 5 stars you can get 2 attacks in one round(iiRC) this is a little difference? try out a single classed kensai vs your kensai/thief the dual class will problably lose it has less health and lower THACO etc

No, you are wrong. That was the system with Baldurs Gate 1. It has changed for BG2, unless you use a mod. And I'm not so sure that the kensai actually would beat the K->T, because of it's atrocious AC (let's assume both get to use the shield amulet). Give the K->T the bracers of extraordinary specialisation (the kensai can't use that) and see how the battle goes....
And even if the kensai does beat the K->T, well, so what, it should! But a pure kensai can't backstab, lay traps, cast spells from scrolls, use time stop traps and annihilate opposition in the meantime etc.

but assume you like to play with all, kinda like all characthers are jack of all trades.. |
Not in the sense of "jack of all trades, master of none", like the Fighter/Mage/Thief. But yes I love versatile characters, and I don't like characters that are expert in some way but have no other use.

but play as you will  good luck with your party(in TOB i would suggest at least3 tanks since TOB is more warrior based in case of spell based)

I have 4 characters that can act as a tank (and do it very well), and the other two can fight very well too. I think that that is plenty, seeing that they'll also have enhanced bard song on them most of the time.
And yeah, no party is really perfect blah blah blah. I think we don't need to say that anymore.
