I kinda of like the idea of not having a tanky person, but then again I don't want to put my players in a situation where they have an extremely hard time because they don't have someone to watch their back. The group was not communicating when the class choices were made.

I like the idea of them earning or befriending someone, I'm just worried that things will take a turn for the worse beforehand. As GM I know I have supreme power of everything, accidentally having someone get hurt sits in the back of my head. I should probably just let the PCs worry about that themselves.

Also forgot to mention, I am very new to Pathfinder. First time DM and my friend is helping me along. Bringing things down to a simpler level would be... appreciated.

So here are all of my responses for you guys:

Pupsocket: Hope I get to what you need by the end of this post. More so I have a 20 point buy and need to figure our what feats I should give the charcter. The Party is starting at level 5 so I will need to fix up some special gear for her as well.

Sphynx: I do intend to make the fights in a way that my party will not have to much trouble, when you get a Wizard, a Thief, an Alchemist, and a Ranger you can't really throw anything big at them. I plan on using a fair bit of monsters so I want them to have a response for them when something, anything gets in their face. Also having a Sphinx would fit my story.

Mechanical Pear: I have a friend who has been playing Pathfinder for a long time. He brought this up but quickly said, "Don't do this though. it will take FOREVER." Also, while I like the idea a lot, it seems to effective. I want my party to feel in danger of this person getting hurt, and that my tank will be in the same danger, just a bit better prepared.

+5 Toaster: Thought that was implied by the first sentence as well

Lipto The Shiv: Call me crazy, but I hate dwarves. Gimli is alright, but I can't stand dwarves. They annoy me and I wake up to the days that I don't have to deal with them with joy. I do understand that dwarves are good at tanking, but it seems really easy and boring. I'm kinda looking forward to this Sphinx character, and more so need stats and builds.

If I missed anything just tell e. I'm new to this so I know I missed stuff. Just tell me.

Here making a campaign and our party needs a tanky person. I'm the GM and this will be an NPC, so I would like for him/her to be more meat shield and flavor than doing things such s killing the enemies.

I have figured that a Paladin would be best for this, but I wanted to throw some cool flavor in and I was thinking of making him.her a Sphynx. The stats that I have are from the Bestiary for the Gynosphinx.

What other tips or stats could I use?
