That is the reason for the existance of those two classes, after all.Perhaps an elf?

I'm relying on weapon familiarity to avoid paying for an Exotic Weapon. Otherwise, the rapier would have to do.AC: 21 (not fantastic, but reasonable for this level) to 26 (which is good at this level) with Expertise. Don't forget Dodge, and to setup those Elusive Target tactics.You want high AC at this level, you'll have to go tank. That is all there really is to it. The armours and feats in Races of Stone really guarantee that.</blockquote>
