Combining rogue levels with fighter or ranger and specializing in two-weapon fighting is a combination which is often very effective (remember you can sneak attack with all of those attacks).For your multi-class spellcasters, I highly recommend looking ahead for prestige classes which multi-classing might help with. The Mystic Theurge and the True Necromancer are two which come to mind where multi-classing spellcasters can really reap in the benefits of multi-classing (trading some more powerful spells for a truly staggering quantity  and breadth of spells).Another interesting combination I've toyed with is a monk who has a few levels of sorcerer (and concentrating on monk exclusively for subsequent levels). By concentrating on sorcerer spells which complement a monk well (such as mage armor, true strike, shield, cat's grace, etc), you can have an unarmored monk who is a truly nasty customer.Multi-class spellcasters might also be advised to look for a theme which complements their other class selections. In many cases spells which buff you up are better choices than flashy damaging ones (the ability buffs would be one for example, shield for a two-handed or dual weapon wielder another). Another thought would be summoning spells for a caster/rogue - instant flanker!</blockquote>
