[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 3592556, member: 1622"] I highly suggest a level or two of crusader. They get a stance that makes any enemy in their threatened area take -4 to hit anyone but you. I think that's the #1 best ability for a tank, because nothing else in D&D does that - force someone to worry about you instead of your low AC friends. I think an even mix of crusader/knight/fighter (for feats) is the best tank build. Please note, when I talk about a tank, I mean someone who's meant to be defended to the gills, not someone who's going to necessarily do the most damage in the party. Let the barbarian with his 16 AC do the damage, you in your 25 AC should be trying to take all the attacks. I wouldn't super-multiclass the character. IMO it makes the build look sloppy and munchkinny. No one can really fault you for taking 4 levels of knight for a tank build, but if you start taking barbarian levels and monk levels and rogue levels.... not only do I think you'll be hurting your main theme, but it'll look cheesy too. -Nate [/QUOTE]
