A sweet part of the Thief was that they were no level limits for non-humans (remember those?).
Yes, they still had those in 2e AD&D from what I remember, and whenever we got that high we typically ended up ignoring them, much to my (human) character's chagrin. :P

I do miss the old-school multiclassing - it took forever to level up, but once you did, wow! Brings back memories of the CRPGs like Champions of Krynn.
