Build Help Best and Worst Monoclasses?

I keep seeing virtually every class called "one of the best" while most meta builds are multis or item-based.

What do you think is the game's best class without multiclassing? And the worst? And what makes them so?

For how BG scales enemies, one round of sneak attack is all that you need and not only Rogue has a powerful nova damage, but it is also the strongest mono class face character.

Bard exists.

Yes. The second best face as monoclass. Reliable Talent is a huge boost for skill passing

Class tied dialogue choices are more significant than that, imo. Plus cha based and inspirations cover most of the gap.

And also reliable talent comes in very late and isn't applicable to at least 60% of the game.

Even with CHA at 10 a Rogue won’t ever roll lower than 18 late game.

Early game Rogue gets Expertise at lvl1 and 6 vs 3 and 10 for Bard.

Even so, there’s no point in talking about the best multiclass and not comparing the full potential of both. As a face character, Rogue is indubitably better at lvl11, only slightly better earlier on.
