01-25-07, 11:09 PM Ok so folks here is how it is, I am trying to put together a party tank with stopping power through and through, so I decided that for that to happen he would need to be a cut above the rest, from what I have seen on the board, barring the broken and the rule bending here are the two fighters who bear the title of hardest to kill.

Warforged: Fighter 2/ Barbarian 3/ Warforged Juggernaught 5/ Frenzied Berserker 10

Human: Ex-Paladin 2/ Hexblade 3/ Ur-Priest 2/ Bone Knight 10/ Blackguard 3

Both of these guys not only have ways to deal with those nasty kill or die spells at higher levels but have either the muscle or the spells themselves to fight back. The problem is, I do not know which of these two bad boys would be the best at what a tank is supposed to do, so I humbly ask the board for their support and concensus. Thanks for the support folks.

The first has the potential of a TPK. It'd also be better as Barb 1/Fighter 4.

Oh, and make him a paladin of Tyranny/Slaughter so you don't lose those benefits :)
