Very strong tanks, and you wont need any other thief if you dual at 10, cause traps and locks in BG series are very easy to disable / open.

Horrible THAC0 at the beginning, and you might need to take your armor off when doing "thief stuff" (unless you get yellow dragon armor from tactics mod)

As for Kensai vs Swash discussion..

- As single class, Swash is much better in nearly everything (except damage output)
- When dualed to mage both classes are cheesy. Swash increases mage defenses when caught off guard, and Kensai / mage melts everything in seconds.
- Multiclass (using SK) : If cap is removed, Swash is much better here, for UAI, greater evasion and time stop traps are much greater addition then just melee dmg and melee speed. Except for time-stop immune bosses maybe.. If you dont play solo and they dont have adds.
