I'm looking for a build that has high AC and HPs... a real "hold the line juggernaut" sort of a character... damage and attack bonus not so important. Dwarfen Defender comes to mind, but seems a bit boring...

any quick thoughts or ideas? anyone have a character or build like this? :D

I had built something like that a long time ago that was straight barbarian with toughness and a bunch of 'Roll With It' feats from Savage species ;)

He got around the ac problem with mitigating effects like cloak of displacement, ring of blinking, and other such effects over the course of time.

Hmm.. I guess this isnt terribly helpful, but I had a lot of fun with the guy.. having DR of 10/- or more later on was just plain nice! Especially with having so many hp.

Yea... DR is always nice ;)

I guess i should mention that this is a fairly low magic campaign... so good magic items are scarce...

Then I'd recommend being a cleric or druid if you want to tank. Fighters and any subset of fighters are even MORE crappy in low-magic worlds.

Otherwise, I would have suggested some combo of dwarven paragon, fighter, deepwarden, and d. defender
