-I don't have any of those books, but in the campaign I am running, the characters are members of a Pirate crew. Most of the NPC pirates are Rogue/Fighter combinations, while one or two are Bard/Fighter combinations.

Taking bard and rogue seems to delay entry into Duelist too much for my tastes. I'd go rogue 4/fighter 3 or something, then go into duelist.
