I have a concept for a tank build, but I am wondering what the board considers on it, and any suggestions on streamlining/improving it.

Nimbletank

Neutral Good Dwarven worshipper of Moradin

Barb4/Ftr1/Pious Templar4/Master Thrower 2/Hammer of Moradin 9

Stat buy: 25 pts:

Str: 14
Dex: 13 (Advances to go to DEX) (18)
Con: 16
Int: 12
Wis: 12
Chr: 6

1 Bar: WF: Warhammer
2 Bar:
3 Bar: True Believer
4 Bar:
5 Ftr: Point Blank Shot
6 PiT: Precise Shot
7 PiT:
8 PiT:
9 MT: Iron Will
10 MT:
11 Pit:
12 HoM: Dodge
13 HoM:
14 HoM:
15 HoM: Mobility
16 HoM:
17 HoM:
18 HoM: Elusive Target
19 HoM:
20 HoM:

This build gets alot of goodies, full BAB, quick draw, decent ranged, midrange, and close in abilities, decent touch AC, can't be flanked or flat-footed, mettle, evasion, decent speed, immune to powerattacking, DR 6-, Rage 2/day, Good Saves, add in a +5 Adamantine Chain Shirt of Heavy Fort, and you knock out crit damage, sneak damage, and boost DR to 9/-. Also, with the HoM, you are good with a warhammer 1-handed as most are 2-handed, throw in a buckler, and you can wield 1 or 2 handed as situation/AC dictates. Skills are initially a problem, you have to taked sleight of hand and Know: Religion as CC skills, but I think it will work out okay as you are getting 5pts/lvl with your Barb levels and your physical skills do not need to be as buff as your checks are not as bad.

Comments? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks,

Isn't there a background feat Axethrower in PGtF that lets you use Str to hit with a thrown weapon? That way you could make your Str a leetle bit higher and do a leetle bit more damage. Just a thought.
