I assume it would look something like this:

Dwarf

STR 15
DEX 14
CON 16
INT 10
WIS 14
CHA 6

Ranger Dodge
Monk Improved Grapple
Monk Combat Reflexes, Great Fortitude
Fighter Titan Fighting, STR +1
Fighter Power Attack
Drunken Master Endurance
Drunken Master
Deepwarden CON +1
Deepwarden Improved Bullrush
Drunken Master
Drunken Master
Drunken Master CON +1, Shock Trooper
Drunken Master
Drunken Master
Drunken Master Close-Quarters Combat.

Drinking a bunch of ale, sending it all to CON, and having a boat load of hit points and AC. You go unarmored because your CON goes beyond all Max Dex bonuses.

16 Base + 6 Amulet + 2 Bumps + 16 Drinking = 40 CON which is +15 to AC and more hit points than you (hopefully) ever need. Pick up Bracers of Armor and you're good to go. One of the big problems with the build is the -8 to will saves from drinking. That makes you at level 15, assuming a +5 cloak or vest, +11 to Will.

+2(WIS)
+3(monk)
+3(deepwarden)
+6(drunken master)
+5(Resistance)
-8(Drinking)

Also, couldn't you theoretically shock trooper a guy adjacent to you by running in a circle then coming back and hitting him?

This build is so wrong in so many ways that I just have to try fiddling with it myself. It's just so wrong, it must be mine! I mean a drunken deepwarden... *shakes my head*

With 10 INT, the most you are getting out of drinking is +8 con, because one more drink put you unconscious. Also, it's a move action to drink, and the drinks have a very short duration, so unless you are spending 2 full rounds drinking, you aren't even getting THAT much out of it...

Shucks, you're right. I guess I was thinking it wouldn't reduce it past 1 :(
