[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 2792894, member: 4910"] Dwarf, Fighter(8)/Barbarian(1). 16 in Con, 15 in Str, arrange the rest to taste, though I suggest at least a 13 in Int and/or Dex so you can pick up Combat Expertise, Dodge, etc. Fight in heavy armor (ideally fullplate), with either a heavy or tower shield in one hand and a dwarven waraxe in the other. Pick up the Improved Toughness feat. Pump your Con with both your stat points at 4th and 8th. Grab an item that grants an enhancement bonus to Con. Pick up additional feats that mitigate your opponents ability to deal damage. Improved Trip and Improved Disarm are one option, Power attack and Sunder are another. If your DM will let you (and if they'll let Imp. Toughness count as Toughness for purposes of pre-reqs) pick up the Roll With It feat. If your back is to the wall, Rage. Don't Rage all the time, keep it as a last resort. That +18hp and strength bonus might just save the day so make sure you have it when you need it. Bammo, instant tank. [/QUOTE]
