Hey,
I am a first time Pathfinder player, coming from DnD. I want to make a tank like paladin for my party.
The party has a shaman, ranger, rogue, wizard.
I want to be up to the front protecting the Squishies from death and have high survivability.
For various reasons in and out of character I feel that I should he using a shield, then the ranger and rogue can clean house as I stand there taking punishment.
I know there is no actual way to draw aggro, so I feel like control can allow me to protect others.
Race: human
20pt buy
All books except 3rd party allowed
I need a build that's good from 1 to level 12-16 so no late bloomers please.
Edit: Priority wise I care about being a tank for my teammates more than having a shield. So if reach weapons make sense or whatever that's fine.
