My initial thoughts were Colossus of War on one side, with a good dose of Factotum and Dragoon on the other. Any suggestions?
you can only use 2 books all together? or two per side of the build?
I can use any amount of books. I can only use two magazines, altogether.

Supernatural Spells of Note:
-Persistent Anti-Magic Field
-Persistent Beastland Ferocity
-Persistent Delay Death
Gear of Note:
-Prayerbook
Additional Notes:
-Damage does not kill you and virtually any spell that could pose a threat is nullified by your anti-magic field.
-Supernatural spells cannot be dispelled and thanks to Initiate of Mystra function in Anti-Magic Fields.
-Taint can be gained by summoning and controlling various creatures that have abilities that boost taint levels. This is done until we reach enough taint to gain two bonus feats.
-The build is gearless besides the necessities, partially for awesome and partially out of laziness.
Delay death < disintegration, so I doubt it would prevent the salient ability (SDA) from obliterating father Donovan.
Annihilating strikes work in an AMF, as do the buffetting fists (from Magic of Eberron 131).
They give deflect arrows up to Dex Mod +1. A little dexterity can block all thrown hammers.
Then, only speed matters, which might give Moradin an edge with his alter form SDA.
I don't quite understand how the build could beat SR 71 and auto saves. If you can enlighten me, I stop working on a build, which is quite a puzzle.
I think to kill Moradin requires either ranged combat or a one-hit K.O.
Hm, Moradin's spot and listen only have a total value of 66 / 50.
Edit: Check out my post on page 12. Use Contingency if he has the Superior Initiative SDA (or whatever it's called) to interrupt his actions.
...did I mention that he 'somehow' thought that the Paragon template was balanced at a +4 level adjustment?
I'm not even sure it will react to you losing initiative. What in the spell lets it know you've lost? There's no early warning system built into it, and its not a divination spell.
==Aelryinth
Contingency fires immediately upon the trigger condition. If you set the trigger condition to "If I see Moradin begin to do anything" (for example), then it will interrupt his action before it is finished, assuming you can see it. There are plenty of other "interrupts" in D&D, and a carefully worded Contingency should certainly work as one. You do need to take great care in crafting the trigger, though.
Set the Contingency to fire off a Temporal Acceleration (the psionic version of Time Stop), and you'll get to crank out a bunch of actions before the All Father's first action is finished.
I don't want to argue with Aelryinth, because it is a waste of time and he'll go on endlessly. I just want to state that he is wrong.

Damien is incorrect. Contingency can't 'see' Moradin. Find me anything in the spell that says so. Contingency reacts only to something happening to the caster. It can react to you getting hit, saying something, or an effect taking place on you. It can't predict something, react to something someone else does, and it certainly doesn't pre-empt anything. Contingency is effectively a seperate little entity, NOT an extension of your intentions, and it's waiting for a trigger. It has no divinatory ability beyond what happens to the caster. the caster 'seeing Moradin' informs the Contingency of nothing.
(Not to mention it's horribly worded. What if the caster saw a hand carving of Moradin fall out of the sky? Moradin did something! Pooosh. waste of spell...Contingency has an Int score of 0, after all. And it's not like Moradin couldn't Miracle up Contingencies, either.)
Contingency Abuse is rife, and it just doesn't work. And yes, the Sage did rule on Contingency as above.
==Aelryinth
In any case, going first won't be a problem - Moradin doesn't have Supreme Initiative. Focus of the build, therefore, doesn't have to be 'counter his first move.' Considering that the challenge of defeating him is not only in actually fighting him, but also in finding and getting him to stick around, part of the challenge is also in his psychology.
He is the All-Father, maker and protector of the dwarves, who despises all evidence of taint in his creation.
Locate City Zombie Nuke, anyone?
