[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 1380297, member: 16814"] I'm not sure if he have the right idea of what a 'Tank' should be. The order in which I assign stats for a tank are Con, Str, Wis, Dex, Int, Cha. I think a couple of people will disagree with the position of Wis and Dex, but a tank needs more protection from nasty enchanments than a good Dex that will be restricted by heavy armor. A good tank should have lots of hit points for soaking up damage, and a good strength for giving it back. I think your friend's problems is that he wants something interesting, and a tank looks boring. Try this build Str 16 (15 +1 at 8th) Dex 14 Con 18 (17 +1 at fourth) Wis 14 Int 14 Cha 11 Fighter 8 Feats: Weapon focus (human), Power attack (1st), and Cleave (bonus) Then Dodge (bonus 2), Iron Will (3rd), Weapon specialization (bonus 4), Sunder (bonus 6), Greater Cleave (6th), and Improved Critical (bonus 8) I'd recommend a great sword or great axe for this character, the damage potential with power attack is immense with two handed weapons.
